Micron Technology, Inc. Engineer – RET Design in Boise, Idaho
Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all .
Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever.
We, the Resolution Enhancement Techniques (RET) team, are looking to fill a RET Engineer position! We are part of the Advanced Mask Development (AMD) group under the Technology Development (TD) department. We have deep understanding of RET methodologies and Optical Proximity Correction (OPC) software tools, and work side-by-side with the Recipe and Tool Development (RTD) team which is also part of AMD group. You will also work collaboratively with Process Integration and Photolithography teams as well as OPC vendors to deliver reticle solutions with production-worthy patterning fidelity on wafer. You will be involved in groundbreaking RET solutions, resolve important patterning issues, investigate creative tapeout flows, and introduce innovative software functions and applications to AMD group. In addition, you will need to dedicatedly engage with teams in Design, Device, and Systems to integrate an effective and efficient tapeout flow for not only pilot parts but also derivative parts throughout the life span of each node of advanced memory products.
Responsibility
Build OPC model to validate and to predict wafer patterning for both R&D pilot chip and production parts.
Build recipes of OPC and Sub-resolution Assist Feature (SRAF), extend application to full chip scale.
Improve RET strategies, including, but not limited to: modeling, OPC, illumination, SRAF, reticle blanks, design rules, and layout.
Collaboratively work with multidisciplinary groups to generate robust and manufacturable layout for process development and yield improvement.
Contribute documents of Best Known Methods based from wafer learning, and to detail the thought process and the supporting data.
Qualifications
Successful candidates for this position will have:
Familiar with the principles of physical optics and the basics of Fourier optics.
Experience with photolithography simulation packages, such as Sentaurus Litho, ProLith, etc.
Experience with software packages developed by any EDA vendor (Synopsys, Mentor Graphics, BRION, Cadence, etc.), preferably in the areas of rule or model based assist feature design, OPC empirical model creation and lithography simulations.
Strong knowledge in photolithography theory, including optics, diffraction, phase shifting and resist modeling. Must have experience with 248 nm, 193 nm and 193 nm immersion lithography.
Strong computer skills, including familiarity with Windows, Linux, UNIX, and some experience with programming languages (Perl/C/C++/TCL/Python).
