Abstract

Micron Technology, Inc., founded by Ward Parkinson, Joe Parkinson, Dennis Wilson, and Doug Pitman in 1978, stands as one of the leading international providers of advanced semiconductor solutions, producing various semiconductor devices.Such devices include DRAM (dynamic random access memory) components, flash components, and CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) image sensors.With a strong focus on materials research, Micron continues to create next generation digital technology, pushing the boundaries of new imaging technology.In fact, Micron continues to hire recent graduates from around the country in materials related fields including chemical, electrical, computer, and materials engineering, as well as physics, and with their help, created one of the industry’s first 1.7 micron-pixel image sensors.
