Job Description

In this position the individual will assume responsibility in the area of semiconductor process engineering. The candidate will take responsibility on working directly on new process modules, including materials research, and developing new process integrations schemes for 3D NAND memory technology.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Primary job function will focus on utilizing processing techniques such as Reactive Ion Etching (RIE), Chemical Dry Etching (CDE), Atomic Layer Etching (ALE), Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD), Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD/), Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP) and Oxidation to fabricate semiconductor memory devices.
• Process development will also include Research & Development on unique processes and materials. 
• Collecting structural analysis such as SEMs/TEMs and analyzing many forms of process data from experimental splits using statistical analysis software and conducting process optimization using design of experiments (DOE) will be required. 
• Interfacing with several engineering departments, including design, integration, and device will occur on a regular basis. 
• Process development will be conducted through local fabs, vendors, and our fabrications facilities in Japan. 
• Short-to-mid stay travel may be needed to our fabs in Yokkaichi, Japan. 
• Responsibility will also include selection of new process equipment used in all areas of wafer fabrication. 

Qualifications

Required:

• Ph.D. in the fields of Chemical Engineering, Materials Science & Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent engineering discipline with Semiconductor Fabrication background. The expected start date for this position is in July or August 2025
• The individual should have good academic knowledge of fundamental device physics and processing that are used in the semiconductor industry (RIE, Lithography, Thin Films, Metrology etc.) so that they can solve process related issues. 
• Knowledge and experience with Metrology and Optical characterization techniques is desired. 
• The ideal individual must have proven ability to achieve results in a fast moving, dynamic environment, be self-motivated and self-directed, and have demonstrated the ability to work well with people and have a strong track record in innovation. 
• A proven desire to work as a team member, both on the same team and outside of the team is critical. 
• Ability to troubleshoot and analyze complex problems, ability to multi-task and meet deadlines is required. 
• Excellent communication (written and verbal) and interpersonal skills are a pre-requisite.
