DRAM Device & Process Modeling Engineer

Job Title

DRAM Device & Process Modeling Engineer

Role Summary

Embedded modeling engineer within Process Integration for DRAM R&D. Develop and apply semiconductor device and process modeling to guide technology decisions and accelerate DRAM scaling from R&D toward manufacturing.

Work in a cross-functional R&D environment using simulation, device physics, and experimental validation to provide predictive insights for future DRAM memory technologies.

Experience Level

Mid-level: requires advanced technical experience in semiconductor device and process modeling. Specific years of experience not stated.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities focus on modeling, simulation, validation, and cross-functional technical leadership to support DRAM technology development.

• Develop and apply semiconductor process and device models to address technology challenges and inform process development decisions.
• Perform TCAD and other advanced simulations (Silvaco, Sentaurus, or comparable tools) to analyze process interactions and device behavior.
• Design experiments and analyze results using DOE and statistical methods; correlate simulation with experimental and silicon data to improve models.
• Collaborate with Process Integration, Process Development, Device Engineering, Yield, Failure Analysis, Parametric, Manufacturing, and Quality teams to identify and resolve issues.
• Summarize technical problems and recommendations; build consensus and drive solutions across teams.
• Define and deliver sub-milestones for modeling projects within larger technology programs.
• Provide simulation-driven insights that enable transfer of R&D technologies into manufacturing.
