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.

Job Summary:

As an ATE Dry Etch Process Engineer at Micron Technology, Inc., you will be responsible for successful and effective transfer of new technologies into MTV in assigned area(s) that enable fast matching of the sending fab performance on yield improvement and cycle time reduction towards TTMCY with phenomenal collaboration with sending site transfer counterparts, MCT and all other related departments. It is important to have a clear comprehension of the site, department, and area objectives, project timelines, and breakthroughs! It is encouraged that you complete your assigned projects and tasks in a timely and accurate manner. You will need to demonstrate a high level of ownership with excellent workmanship and interpersonal skills throughout the year!

Responsibility:

• Complete required safety training and ensuring all work is conducted in accordance with Microns safety policies.
• Manage, measure, and supervise DRAM technology transfer project for assigned area(s) to ensure work and schedules are met.
• Build collaboration with sending Fab counterparts and MCT, thru periodic meetings/1:1 and other means to achieve good communication with counterparts
• Partner with Process Engineering (PE), Process Integration Engineering (PIE), Manufacturing Equipment Engineering (ME) and Fab Area Leadership to close gaps to meet technology qualification and volume manufacturing ramp

• Collect lessons learned from the DRAM technology being transferred and the latest DRAM technology and implement mitigation plans effectively
• Work with PE, PIE, ME, SPMO and Planning teams to accommodate incoming process changes, hardware changes and conversions
• Work with Procurement team and IQC team to make sure there is no miss on FOAK materials readiness and FOAK/SOAK materials quality matching to sending fab(s)
• Drive and complete the qual matching and set up build travelers, qual travelers, and qual definitions on time
• Drive PRD data collection, setups and data comparison matching the pre-defined transfer expectations on time with high quality
• Assist Process and Equipment Engineering team on TRD data collection and mitigation plans
• Ensure all PRD/ TRD mismatches are assembled and approved through CEERB and drive punch list items and CEERB actions completion on time
• Work with ATE logistics team to complete PRD wafers and SWAP lots appropriately
• Ensure golden tool PRD sign-offs 14 days before 1st SWAP lot to the step
• Ensure backup tool PRD sign-offs 14 days before EFF lots coming to the step at backup capable steps
• Actively participate in Daily / weekly group meeting, support the team by providing constructive suggestions.
• Ensure the NPI project timeline is met and all MSR work is gathered, presented, and recorded. All actions from MSR are completed in timely manner.) Collaboratively working with your Planning and PI to have PRD/TRD sign off for new / upgrade tools on time to meet the PC/EFF start date.
• Training and reaction mechanism documented are transferred with quality and are deployed to all parties that should be aware of the documents.
• Monitor lead Lot Heath and response to abnormal process
• Ensure MSSR matching on Swap, EFF and Qual lots.
• Yield matching post lead lots
• Support Derivative part startup
• Lesson learned, collected, and constructive improvement provided to next transfer
