Samsung Austin Semiconductor is one of the most advanced semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the world and an integral part of Central Texas for more than 28 years, driving job generation, economic impact and engagement with the surrounding community.
As a member of the embedded Flash (eFlash) process integration team, the engineers are responsible for performing activities that will setup a new product and ensure a successful launch. This role includes the ability to understand eFlash integration into CMOS, flash stack formation, flash stack etch and characterization. The engineer will focus on a module of the flow and the integration of that module, and work with a team, so module experience in RX, PC, SD, HK-MG, MOL, BEOL are valuable. The engineer will be involved in the setup of the initial CMOS flow, eFlash cell, BKMs, measurements, etc. Flash integration/device knowledge is a strong plus and strong FEOL integration skills are desirable. The ideal candidate will also have understanding of FEOL CMOS flow.
Specific Job Duties: • Work with tool and unit process owners to optimize the processes for the eFlash cell and integration. • Setup and collect inline and physical measurements on the prototype lots with the integrated eFlash. • Understand and verify the process control window using characterization, yield and cycling results. • Understand the product design and layout to decide on product specific weakpoints and how they may affect the eFlash. • Run customer sample silicon and determine the appropriate measurements to ensure the success of qualification and timely transition to mass production. • Ensure the initial success of mass production with specialized DOEs and other safe launch procedures. • Designs and runs all aspects of experiments to test hypotheses. • Able to work well in a team environment and effectively communicate throughout organization. • Familiar with foundry style semiconductor manufacturing and logic semiconductor manufacturing.
Samsung has invested $18 billion in operating two fabs at the Austin, Texas campus on Parmer Lane, since 1996 -- making it one of the largest direct foreign investments in United States history. The Austin site consists of 2.76 million square feet and more than 600+ acres in land holdings. Samsung Austin Semiconductor's economic impact in 2023 generated $15 billion into Austin's economy through salaries and other expenditures.
With more than 5,000 employees supporting both campuses, Samsung Austin Semiconductor is a premier and growing employer who provides a great place to work, is committed to environmental stewardship and being a good corporate citizenship. Our employees are the key to our success and we invest in our people with competitive compensation & benefit packages, career development opportunities and programs that enhance physical, emotional and intellectual well-being.
