Senior Device Physicist

Micron Technology is seeking a highly skilled Senior Device Physicist to join our TCAD Team. As a key member of our team, you will play a critical role in designing and optimizing active devices for next-generation advanced CMOS and memory cells.

Our ideal candidate will have a strong background in semiconductor device physics and solid experience in physics-based analytical and/or numerical (TCAD) modeling. You will work closely with our Process Integration and Cell/CMOS development teams to analyze and suggest new experiments to optimize devices, as well as with our Quality and Reliability engineers to understand and mitigate device degradation mechanisms.

• Select the best tools and physical models to obtain accurate simulation results.
• Extract relevant device metrics from DC, AC, and transient TCAD simulations.
• Analyze sensitivities to geometry, doping, and process variables, bias, and temperature.
• Extract intrinsic variability information using Monte Carlo statistical modeling.
• Perform virtual DOEs and select the most promising experiments for SWR lots.
• Troubleshoot process and yield issues and help understand the physical mechanisms responsible for unexpected electrical data.
• Optimize device performance, reduce variability, and degradation under stress.
• Predict geometrical and bias scaling trends and investigate ultimate device scaling limits.
• Propose and validate new memory cell architectures.
• Drive and support exploration of new materials and memory cell concepts.
• Contribute to validate models, calibrate parameters, and improve modeling tools.

• Strong background in semiconductor device physics.
• Solid experience in physics-based analytical and/or numerical (TCAD) modeling.
• Understanding of basic circuits and memory cell arrays operation.
• Experience with Unix/Linux and at least one programming language (C/C++, Python, etc.).
• Fluent verbal and written English.
• Self-motivation, tenacity, and drive to find creative solutions.
• Passion to succeed and ability to independently learn and explore.
• Excellent communication, teamwork, and interpersonal skills.
