SemiconductorElectronicsHardwareManufacturingComputer
Responsibilities
DRAM Cell & Access Device Development: Define electrical targets for access devices, capacitors, and cell stack elements. Evaluate new cell structures, materials, and integration schemes to improve density, retention, disturb immunity, and sensing margins. Partner with modeling teams to validate device/cell behavior against TCAD and compact models
Silicon Characterization & Data Analysis: Design and implement experiments on silicon: Perform in‑depth electrical characterization: ION/IOFF distributions, Vt extraction, retention behavior, disturb mechanisms, leakage paths, and variation analysis. Extract insights from large data sets using statistical methods; propose actionable design or process improvements
Array Operation & System-Level Understanding: Analyze array‑level behaviors such as activation, sensing, disturb interactions, and read window margin. Work with circuit teams on WL/BL drivers, sense amplifier interactions, and operation sequence optimization
Cross-Functional Integration & Collaboration: Work with internal groups and manufacturing sites to ensure robustness and scalability of developed solutions. Support technology transfer from R&D to high‑volume manufacturing
Technology Roadmap Contribution: Participate in defining DRAM scaling paths (3D DRAM, new device concepts, capacitor innovations, new materials). Benchmark internal versus industry device/cell capabilities and propose strategy adjustments
