While effective, this coating adds process steps, cycle time, and consumable costs.\nAn ongoing engineering evaluation within the Wafer Edge Region Process Development team has demonstrated that the coating can be removed from a limited wafer population without process excursions. This internship project represents the next phase of that evaluation.\nWorking under the guidance of experienced process development engineers, the intern will expand the existing dataset and analytical framework to address the remaining technical questions before a permanent process change can be approved. The project will provide practical exposure to experimental design, semiconductor process integration, wafer-edge characterization, statistical analysis, and AI-enabled engineering workflows.\nObjective of the Project\nCompare wafer-edge defect performance between coated and coating-free wafers.\nDetermine whether removing the coating increases wafer-edge arcing in downstream process modules and, if so, identify its origin.\nDevelop a safe and systematic approach for increasing the run rate of coating-free wafers.\nEstablish the inline monitoring criteria and process margins required to enable full conversion to a coating-free process.\nOpportunities for Full-Time Employment\nThis project closely reflects the responsibilities of a Wafer Edge Region and Uniformity Process Development Engineer. These include designing experiments, collecting and analyzing data, distinguishing genuine process effects from confounding variables, understanding integration and structural constraints at the wafer edge, and presenting data-driven recommendations during technical reviews.\nThe intern will work directly with the engineering owners of the module and gain hands-on experience in a production development environment.\nInterns who demonstrate strong engineering judgment, rigorous data analysis, and ownership of their deliverables may be considered for graduate Process Development Engineer opportunities within NAND Process Development in Singapore, subject to business requirements, position availability, and the applicable selection process.\nThe intern will also complete a well-documented wafer-edge process development project that can serve as a reference for future career opportunities.\nProject Scope\nDevelop an understanding of the general process flow for three-dimensional NAND memory and where the Pillar module and its edge-protection step are positioned within the process.\nExamine why edge protection is used before high-aspect-ratio etching and how film stress, adhesion, and edge profiles contribute to peeling and particulate defects at the wafer bevel and backside.\nLearn wafer-edge, bevel, and backside inspection techniques, as well as relevant defect-classification conventions.\nObserve defect-review and cross-section characterization sessions with the engineering team to connect defect signatures to their physical origins.\nApply statistical methods, including design of experiments, hypothesis testing, variance decomposition, and correlation analysis, while recognizing potentially confounded comparisons such as calendar effects, tool mix, and lot mix.\nLearning Opportunities\nGain practical exposure to semiconductor process development, process integration, wafer-edge engineering, metrology, and defect characterization.\nDevelop experience in distinguishing process effects from confounding variables within large and imperfect manufacturing datasets.\nLearn to use approved Artificial Intelligence tools, including Microsoft 365 Copilot and Claude, to generate and refactor analysis code, summarize technical information, and draft report content.\nStrengthen technical writing, presentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills through engagement with process owners and engineering stakeholders.\nDeliverables\nA validated comparison of wafer-edge defects and arcing performance between coated and coating-free wafers.\nA statistically defensible data package addressing process performance, technical risks, process margins, and relevant confounding variables.\nRecommended inline monitoring criteria and a systematic plan for increasing the run rate of coating-free wafers.\nReproducible analysis tools, documented methodologies, and a final technical presentation summarizing the findings and recommendations.\nImpact of the Project\nProcess simplification: Validated removal of the wafer-edge coating would reduce the number of process steps in the Pillar module, shorten cycle time, and reduce consumable usage.\nDefect and uniformity improvement: Removing the coating may eliminate defect and uniformity signatures associated with the coating boundary. The project will quantify these effects rather than assume them.\nImproved decision quality: The data package will convert an initial feasibility observation from a limited wafer population into a statistically defensible basis for a permanent process change, including the wafer-edge margin evidence required by the relevant module owners.\nLasting analytical capability: The analysis tools and monitoring criteria developed through the project may remain in use by the engineering team and be applied to future wafer-edge process changes within the same module.\nSkillsets Required\nFoundation in semiconductor processing, particularly thin-film deposition, etching, lithography, film stress, and adhesion. Familiarity with planar or three-dimensional NAND memory process flows is advantageous.\nWorking knowledge of design of experiments and applied statistics, including statistical distributions, hypothesis testing, correlation, and regression.\nComfort working with large, imperfect manufacturing datasets, including data cleaning and validation against physical expectations. Exposure to industrial data-analysis or yield-analysis systems is advantageous but not required.\nFamiliarity with defect inspection, metrology, or failure-analysis data is advantageous but not required.\nPractical experience with Artificial Intelligence tools such as Claude, Microsoft 365 Copilot, or an equivalent Large Language Model service for code generation, data exploration, and document summarization. Candidates should be able to construct clear prompts, evaluate AI-generated outputs critically, validate results against known references, and apply company-approved tools in accordance with data-handling and intellectual-property requirements.\nThe ideal candidate should also demonstrate clear written and verbal technical communication, structured problem-solving, disciplined documentation, self-directed learning, attention to detail, and the confidence to raise questions when data contradicts physical expectations.\nCourse of Interest\nThe ideal candidate should be pursuing a Master’s degree in Materials Science and Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, or a related discipline.\nDuration of Period\nThe ideal candidate should be able to commit to a full time internship period of 4 to 6 months.\nAbout Micron Technology, Inc.\nWe are an industry leader in innovative memory and storage solutions transforming how the world uses information to enrich lifefor all.
