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.

JR49948 Advanced NAND Mask Generator Engineer

The Micron NAND Process R&D group is responsible for developing state of the art high density NAND memory technologies. As a Mask Generator Engineer within this organization you will be chartered with defining, generating and maintaining mask data for current and future NAND technologies.

Responsibilities

You will be responsible for developing generator code to generate final mask data from drawn base layer data. You will use this code to build all masks for development of a new technology from initial development to production ramp. All mask data should be generated in a timely manner and error free. Successful candidates for this position will have:

You will be working on software development projects that will improve the quality and efficiency of the business process and software tools.

Responsibilities And Tasks Include, But Not Limited To

• Ensure quality reticle generation Tasks:
• Build NAND generators by coordination with PI, design, photo, mask shop, advanced mask group, frame group, etc.
• Understand design rules, OPC, database, layout, etc. and be able to inspect layout, fractured data for errors.
• Develop and write generators, review DRCs, etc.
• Develops experimental reticles for photo, PI, etc.
• Inspect and review databases through the tapeout processes Responsibility: Sets objectives for a function or sub-function(s) ensuring quality, effectiveness, and productivity of personnel and processes to meet organization goals.
• Ensures accuracy, quality, and timeliness of results (error free tape outs)
• Applies knowledge to achieve quality improvements, cost control, and production efficiency.
• Coordinates activities of reports
• Feedback to PI customer concerns, etc.
• Develop corrective action to problems and foresee potential problems to develop a bullet proof tape out process.
  
  

Requirements
