LTD RET Software Research Engineer/Scientist

at  Intel

JOB DESCRIPTION

Join Intel and build a better tomorrow.

WHAT WE DO:

This position is in the Logic Technology Development team, working in one of the most advanced semiconductor development facilities in the world.
The LTD Resolution Enhancement Technology (RET) team is extending the limits of feature sizes that are patternable on Intel’s devices, using current and future lithography manufacturing tooling. The team works closely with fab integrated lithography process and mask manufacturing teams using computational lithography tooling to optimize mask patterns and maximize manufacturing process capability. The RET team also works closely with the design rule definition teams, using lithography and patterning simulation capabilities to determine design rules for future Intel process nodes.
