Intern - Mask Development

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 to Micron's Advanced Mask Development Group! We are a group of engineers who provide advanced technology solution of Optical Proximity Correction (OPC) and Resolution Enhancement Techniques (RET) to support wafer process development. Through the rigorous simulation and data analysis, we develop the optimization strategy and methodology in reticle design to support all Micron products, using various tools, scripts and programming to improve process window of semiconductor process on wafers. You will have the opportunity to participate and to collaborate in a group project, together with other interns and engineers, to find solutions spanning from mask design conception to tapeout. As an intern, your responsibility includes, but is not limited to:

• Study and comprehend photolithography modeling theory and simulation methodology.
• Build a strategy to improve OPC and RET technology.
• Contribute in a multidisciplinary project of Micron's Mask Technology group.
• Build optimization flow and programs for different RET technology on a full chip scale.
• Improve beyond the existing metrics achieved by the Process-Of-Record.
• Build a document of Best Known Method based from your learning, and to detail the thought process and the supporting data.
• Work on a hands-on and collaborative project with the Photolithography group in Technology Development.
• Build both rigorous and empirical models from different tools, and compare the difference across various layout combinations.
• Build automated scripts and/or program to improve the efficiency of the current methodology.
• Identify potential opportunities of improvement, including areas which can be challenging to achieve during the internship period.
