Intern - Advanced DRAM Cell/Device Engineer

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.

Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever.

Micron’s Advanced DRAM Device Technology Group is focused on enabling future memory scaling through cutting-edge research and development. Located in our industry-leading 300mm R&D facility, the team works on Planar and 3D DRAM technologies, collaborating across material, process, design, modeling, characterization, and product engineering groups.

As a Device Engineer intern you will be responsible for the characterization and data analysis of new memory, analyzing electrical failures, improvement of yield and of overall cell performance. In addition to a broad basis of Device knowledge, you will have a deep understanding of Semiconductor Device Physics including CMOS, bipolar, diodes, etc. You'll interact significantly with material, process, design, modeling, characterization and product groups, and will provide project status updates to the team and management at a regular cadence.

Responsibilities:

• Develop an understanding of process and device requirements for new memory cell, access device, and selectors and help refine requirements, as necessary.
• Characterize array and model cell device properties to identify improvement opportunities (product bias setting, process integration, design waveform, etc).
• Contribute to the cell material and process flow definition, particularly in the area of device physics and array analysis, as well as conntributing to the definition and validation of the cell electrical specifications for product qualification.
• Understand and develop models for fundamental yield-limiting mechanisms in new memory technologies through statistical data analysis of experiments conducted in semiconductor fab.
• Evaluate in-line, probe, parametric, and back end data. 
• Correlate array reliability and characterization testing to product reliability. 
• Define, support and gather data on media management techniques, on-chip and in system to improve performance and reliability of end product.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Current enrollment in a PhD program with a focus in Physics.

• Must be a current student, must not graduate before September 2026.

• Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including product, modeling design & process integration engineers, to address cell deficiencies and execute improvement roadmaps.
• Experience with electrical characterization and failure analysis.
• Familiarity with DRAM architecture and scaling challenges.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Exposure to semiconductor fabrication and process integration.
• Proficiency in statistical data analysis tools and modeling techniques.
