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.

Welcome! Micron Technology, Inc. is seeking a Yield Enhancement Physical Failure Analysis Engineer to be responsible for providing yield analysis for next-generation Micron products. In this meaningful role, the identification and communication of yield issues and assisting with the root cause analysis for process deviations. You will provide analysis of probe, parametric, and fabrication data through electrical and visual characterization to identify the sources of failure on memory devices. You will provide an analysis of process experiments, assist with the identification of yield excursions, assist with the characterization, confirmation, and reporting of yield excursions. You will also help support the transfer of physical failure analysis processes into production. This includes supporting yield enhancement and analysis teams around the world and training them in the latest techniques and methods of production.

The Yield Enhancement group is a multi-disciplinary group, drawing engineers from Chemical, Materials, Electrical, Statistics and device physics. TD YE-PFA team collaborates with a diverse and dedicated team to isolate the root causes of the fails, and enable processes integration to deliver the next generation of memory processes nodes to production fab (high volume manufacturing). PFA engineers require knowledge of semiconductor device physics, fabrication, operation, architecture, and statistics. PFA group routinely uses bench testers, emission and laser techniques for fail isolation. In addition work with FIBs, SEMs and TEMs to understand the root cause of the failure.

Responsibilities:

• Work with other engineering teams to resolve yield issues.

• Support and develop new tools and techniques to localize and identify device failures.

• Recognize, identify, and raise awareness of process issues to appropriate teams.

• Attend meetings and present results to Product Development and Process Integration teams.

• Possibly travel to manufacturing sites during transfer of next-generation processes, using the latest physical failure techniques

What sets you apart:

• One-to-three years’ work experience with volatile/non-volatile memory.

• Knowledge of memory architecture and cell operation and related topics.

Qualifications:

• Intermediate understanding of device physics as well as familiarity with semiconductor manufacturing and the fabrication processes areas involved.

• Good analytical and problem-solving skills, high motivation, and a strong work ethic so you will be able to work independently once trained.

• Strong communication and presentation skills. Digital literacy, including a confirmed knowledge of Windows, Linux, JMP statistic software, C++, Python, and Microsoft Office.

• Theory and/or operation of scanning electron microscopes (SEM), focused ion beam (FIB), Transmission emission microscopes (TEM), and Elemental Analysis (EDS, EELS).

Education:

Pursuing a MS or PhD Degree in Electrical Engineering, Chemical, Physics, Material Science Engineering or related field, with basic understanding coding.

BS degree in the above subject areas with 5 years' industry-related experience
