Micron NAND Technology Integration (NTI) Singapore is seeking a Yield Enhancement Physical Failure Analysis Technician. In this role, you will provide physical failure analysis for next-generation Micron products, identifying and communicating failure mechanisms and assisting with root cause analysis for yield issues.

You must possess hands-on experience with physical analysis tools, such as acid hood operation, polish wheel, delayer techniques (wet/dry etch), SEM, dual beam FIB, and STEM lamella creation. You will also help support the transfer of physical failure analysis processes into production.

Qualifications

• Self-motivated and enthusiastic about finding creative solutions to challenges.
• Passionate about learning semiconductor memory and fabrication.
• Demonstrates a drive to succeed and the ability to energize the team.
• Highly motivated with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent written, communication, and presentation skills.
• Strong technical and interpersonal skills.
• Proficiency in delayering failing devices using various wet and dry techniques.
• Experience with Focused Ion Beam and STEM/TEM usage for cross-section analysis, and SEM operation for top-down analysis.
• Ability to generate slice and view images for inline process improvement feedback.
• A proactive mindset to recognize, identify, and raise awareness of new failure mechanisms immediately.
• Possesses a Continuous Improvement Process (CIP) mindset, constantly seeking ways to improve area operations.
• Demonstrates a strong understanding of physical failure analysis on semiconductor devices.
• Integrates AI-assisted tools and insights into daily work to improve efficiency, quality, or effectiveness, while exercising sound judgment and complying with standards.
• Contributes to a culture of continuous improvement by identifying, testing, and sharing AI-enabled enhancements within scope of work.

The Yield Enhancement group is multi-disciplinary, drawing engineers from Chemical, Materials, Electrical, Statistics, and device physics. The TD YE-PFA team collaborates with talented groups to isolate root causes of failures and enable process integration to deliver next-generation memory processes to the production fab. PFA engineers require knowledge of semiconductor device physics, fabrication, operation, architecture, and statistics. The PFA group routinely uses bench testers, emission, and laser techniques for fail isolation, in addition to working with FIBs, SEMs, and TEMs to understand root cause failures.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with EFA engineering to quickly identify visual defects related to yield issues.
• Innovate creative methods to improve work efficiency and reduce the time needed to visualize root cause failures.
• Interpret and summarize data, presenting findings verbally and in writing to corresponding engineers.
• Build and improve new techniques and find exceptional ways to utilize existing tools to identify new failure mechanisms.
• Test new processes by evaluating techniques to improve productivity.
• Own PFA tools to ensure maximum uptime.
