Senior Member of Technical Staff (SMTS), Process Development Cell Film

Define technical strategy and lead multi-functional projects in cell film development. Architect solutions and promote innovative technologies across teams. Influence technical standards and drive process improvements. Lead advanced process development, fixing, and integration. Mentor engineers and foster technical growth. Integrate unit processes into full cell packages and validate device/process linkages via wafer-level electricals. Drive complex problem solving across process/hardware/device interactions—root cause analysis, FMEA, SPC, and corrective actions that recover window with no yield trade-off. Utilize advanced characterization (SIMS, XPS, TEM, EDX/EELS, electrical stress testing, TDS) to correlate process parameters to device performance; author correlation models that predict reliability and scaling behavior. Lead multi-functional teams and vendor engagements to push hardware/process capability, set achievements, and secure resources. Advanced proficiency in thin film processing (ALD, CVD), multi-layer stack design, and device integration. Thin-film processing: ALD/CVD nitride/oxide systems, inhibitor chemistries, multi-layer ONO stack design, barrier/protection layers; batch furnace/RTP integration and densification strategies. PhD or equivalent in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, or related field. 15 to 20 years of experience in Thin Film research and development for NAND process specifically Diffusion, CVD, Cell Films. Demonstrated leadership in multi-functional development and vendor collaboration.
