ALD Process Engineer

Job description

ALD Process Engineer

This role:   In this role, you will work with other technology team members including materials scientists, device, process and electrical test engineers to solve time critical technology challenges and develop unique solutions for customers in collaborative development partnerships.

 

You will have the opportunity to

·  Drive improvements in ALD systems and process workflows (substrate treatments, post deposition anneals etc.) to enable reliable and efficient deposition of various materials with different target unit film material properties (crystallographic phase, resistivity, dielectric function etc.).
·  Work independently to develop ALD or PVD processes of various materials for use as functional/active layers in memory device stacks while interfacing with other team members/groups to utilize these layers in devices that meet or exceed customer specifications (e.g. J, EOT etc.).
·  Connect process conditions, physical characterization, and electrical response towards understanding of mechanisms.

 

Minimum Qualifications

·  Bachelor’s degree in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or Electrical Engineering
·  5+ years of experience in ALD development, semiconductors or related field
·  5+ years experience with atomic layer deposition (ALD) process development, semiconductor materials design, physical and electrical characterization for advanced memory applications

 

Preferred Qualifications

·  M.S. or Ph.D. degree in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or Electrical Engineering
·  Working experience with developing or characterizing interfaces and thin film stack interactions, emphasis on stacks deposited with ALD for memory applications.
·  Familiarity with common thin-film characterization techniques including: XRR, XRD, XRF, SEM, TEM, Ellipsometry, Auger, SIMS, RBS, XPS
·  Ability to engage with customers on a highly technical basis
·  Background in materials development for advanced memory technology (DRAM, PCRAM, OTS etc.)
·  Self-motivated, results-oriented with high commitment to work quality in a fast paced environment.
·  Proven ability to solve complex analytical problems and provide robust solutions based on solid technical background
