Project Title

Superior Copper Sputter Enablement on HBM Metallization

Project Description

With increasingly advanced technology scaling and higher performance requirements, the metallization process requires continuous innovation to meet stringent electrical, reliability, and manufacturability targets. To support future product roadmaps and capacity expansion, there is a need to enable advanced copper deposition capability as an improved manufacturing platform for metallization. This effort requires comprehensive process development, hardware qualification, integration assessment, and defectivity optimization to achieve process equivalency while maintaining yield, reliability, and cost competitiveness.

The project will leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI), Micron manufacturing systems, and advanced data analytics to perform extensive characterization, validation, and predictive insights across process conditions. The intern will work closely with engineering teams to evaluate process performance, identify optimization opportunities, and develop data-driven solutions that improve manufacturing robustness and readiness for high-volume production.

This internship will provide opportunities for consideration for future full-time employment based on performance and business needs.
