EUV Lithography Pathfinding Engineer- TPG

Job Overview Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence. We are seeking a Lithography Pathfinding Process Development Engineer in Boise, Idaho to evaluate and advance lithography, including Extreme Ultra Violet (EUV) and High Numerical Aperture (High NA) EUV, for next‑generation memory parts. This role involves collaborating with cross‑functional teams to define road‑map requirements, partner with manufacturing to ensure implementation readiness, and travel as needed. Responsibilities Define and lead pathfinding activities for new patterning technology. Identify applications on our roadmaps where EUV or High NA EUV offers a benefit and work with process integration to define an implementation plan. Develop EUV modules in our technology development (TD) site, setting up lithography processes and coordinating with other process areas to meet manufacturing requirements. Travel up to once a month to New York or other locations to support early learning for high NA EUV. Partner with defect inspection teams and our mask shop to develop appropriate inspection strategies for EUV masks. Collaborate with manufacturing sites to align on equipment and materials requirements, ensuring EUV processes are ready for transfer. Minimum Qualifications Deep understanding of EUV lithography, including differences between EUV and deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography. Technical understanding of 193nm immersion multiple patterning processes, including litho‑etch‑litho‑etch (LELE) and self‑aligned quadruple patterning (SAQP). Knowledge of optics for photolithography or experience with photolithography simulation software such as Prolith or S‑Litho. Demonstrated ability to define and drive roadmaps internally and with vendor partners. Required education: M.S. or Ph.D. in Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or related field with 10years of semiconductor process experience; OR B.S. in Engineering, Chemistry, or Physics with at least 15years of semiconductor process experience, emphasizing photolithography.
