Job description

Job Description

As a global leader in innovation and new technology, we foster a collaborative, supportive, and exciting environment where the brightest minds in the world come together to achieve exceptional results.

The Intel Logic Technology development (LTD) organizations deliver process technology innovation to drive Intel's product roadmap.

Job Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
• Develop and define integrated front-end and back-end process flows for new technology nodes.
• Coordinate across lithography, etch, deposition, diffusion, wet clean, CMP, dielectric, and metrology teams.
• Optimize RC (resistance-capacitance) performance.
• Establish process windows and integration schemes.
• Analyze yield loss and parametric failures.
• Perform root cause analysis using statistical tools (SPC, DOE, FMEA).
• Drive corrective actions to improve yield and cycle time.
• Implement control plans and process monitoring strategies.
• Use statistical tools such as: Cpk / Ppk, Control charts, Capability analysis
• Ensure margins for electromigration, stress migration, TDDB, time dependent via degradation.
• Evaluate impact of process window shifts on reliability.
• Support ramp from R and D to high-volume manufacturing (HVM).
• Document process specifications and standard operating procedures (SOPs).


Qualifications

Minimum qualifications are required to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates. Requirements listed would be obtained through a combination of industry-relevant job experience, internship experiences, and or schoolwork/classes/research.
