OPC Recipe & Tool Development Senior/Principal Engineer
Req. ID:
250782
Micron Technology s vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life and our commitment to people, innovation, tenacity, collaboration, and customer focus allows us to fulfill our mission to be a global leader in memory and storage solutions. This means conducting business with integrity, accountability, and professionalism while supporting our global community.
The Recipe & Tool Development (RTD) team is looking to fill an RTD engineer position. We are part of the Advanced Mask Development (AMD) group under Technology Development (TD) department. RTD team members have deep understanding of Optical Proximity Correction (OPC) and Source Mask Optimization (SMO) software tools from various vendors, and we work side-by-side with members in Resolution Enhancement Technique (RET) teams which are also part of AMD group. You will work collaboratively with RET engineers and OPC vendors, seek solutions for the meaningful wafer patterning, and achieve reasonable runtime throughput for full chip tapeout. You will also come up with ease-of-use spec and integral interface to the tools, resolve critical production issues, investigate creative tapeout flows, and introduce novel software functions 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 includes, but not limited to, the following:
- Build OPC and Sub-resolution Assist Feature (SRAF) recipes and implement at full chip scale.
- Build Inverse Lithography Technique (ILT) recipe for full die application.
- Improve Best-Known Methods (BKMs) and build specialized solutions.
- Collaboratively work with RET teams to deliver recipe and tool solutions as well as optimized flows to improve wafer pattern fidelity.
- Collaborate with tapeout production team to deliver OPC mask design integrity.
- Collaborate with Metrology teams to speed up automated data collection process.
- Collaborate with Micron in-house mask shop to build post-OPC data meeting the latest spec of advanced reticle manufacturing process.
- Interface to OPC vendors to continuously improve functions and software tools.
- Interface to Device and Design teams to improve integrated workflow with high quality and good throughput.
- Build automated Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) recipe generation for wafer data collection for model calibration and verification.
- Maintain production flow of RET software and recipe development
Qualifications
- 3
years of experience in the semiconductor industry. - Experience with software packages developed by any EDA vendor (Synopsys, Mentor Graphics, Brion, Cadence, etc.), preferably in the areas of SRAF design, OPC recipe development, and SMO pathfinding for both ArF and EUV.
- Strong computer skills, including familiarity with Windows, Linux, UNIX, and some experience with programming languages such as Perl, C, C++, TCL and Python.
- Strong analytical skills and interpersonal skills to oversee work across multiple groups.
- Strong knowledge in photolithography theory, including optics, diffraction, phase shifting and resist modeling. Experience with 248 nm, 193 nm and 193 nm immersion lithography is a plus.
- Knowledge of automation tools, layout and DRC tools such as Cadence DF2 and ICV.
- Knowledge of semiconductor processing, the structure and function of memory devices, emerging technology, and photolithography.
- Experience with photolithography simulation packages, such as S-Litho, ProLith, etc.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- The ability to be highly motivated, goal oriented, and enthusiastically focused on solving problems.
- Proven ability to effectively lead projects to meet deadlines and work independently with minimal supervision.
Education:
M.S. or Ph.D. in engineering or sciences is required
