The engineer will develop novel lithography processes to enable future DRAM physical and electrical architecture, working closely with cross-functional teams in process, integration, metrology, and device engineering. Key responsibilities include defining and implementing lithography solutions from concept through implementation while partnering with equipment and materials suppliers. Required expertise includes semiconductor patterning, EUV lithography, and process integration. The role utilizes computational lithography, lithography modeling, and knowledge of photoresists, underlayers, and pattern transfer to solve complex technical challenges in semiconductor manufacturing and DRAM technology development.

What you'll do

  • Develop novel lithography processes to enable future DRAM physical and electrical architectures.
  • Implement leading-edge lithography solutions including 0.33 NA and High-NA EUV lithography.
  • Define and execute lithography solutions from initial concept through final implementation.
  • Solve complex technical challenges using root-cause analysis and model-based approaches.
  • Manage process transfer and yield improvement for advanced semiconductor patterning.
  • Design test vehicles and mask layouts for lithography development.
  • Partner with equipment and materials suppliers to overcome emerging technology challenges.
  • Influence lithography roadmaps for next-generation DRAM technologies.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, or a related scientific discipline.
  • Master's degree or PhD in Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, or a related scientific discipline (preferred).
  • Minimum 5 years of lithography experience, including EUV lithography and DRAM technology development.
  • 8+ years of DRAM technology development experience (preferred).
  • 8+ years of EUV lithography experience (preferred).
  • 5+ years of experience developing or influencing lithography roadmaps for DRAM technologies (preferred).
  • Demonstrated expertise in advanced semiconductor patterning, process development, and lithography fundamentals.
  • Experience with computational lithography, photoresists, underlayers, and mask layout design (preferred).
