Job Description

Job Description

Initiates the research, development and implementation of Resolution Enhancement Techniques (RET) for nanoscale process technologies. Investigates potential inventions typically 2 to 4 years prior to being applied to a product. Scope includes models and software to perform layout correction for high resolution reproduction on wafers. Applies software engineering methods, theories and research in the investigation and solution of technical RET problems. Defines and selects new approaches and implementation of RET software engineering applications, design specifications and parameters. Maintains substantial knowledge of state of the art principles and theories in lithography, optics, resists, modeling, and software engineering. Contributes to scientific literature, conferences, and the development of intellectual property. Coordinates interdepartmental activities and research efforts. Must be able to interact with both VLSI design and silicon process technology development, and mask making communities to ensure solutions are optimal. Additionally, can use use predictive modeling, statistics, machine learning, data mining, and other data analysis techniques to collect, explore, visualize, and to develop software algorithms and applications to compensate for empirical effects in photolithography imaging and etch pattern transferal process.
