Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
Equity-based Compensation Plans | Equity-based Compensation Plans The Company has stock plans that provide for grants of equity-based awards to eligible participants, including stock options and restricted stock units, of the Company’s Common Stock. An option is a right to purchase Common Stock at a set price. An RSU award is an agreement to issue a set number of shares of Common Stock at the time of vesting. The Company’s options and RSU awards typically vest over a period of three years or less. The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan that allows employees to purchase its Common Stock at a discount through payroll deductions. The Lam Research Corporation 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, and the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (collectively the “Stock Plans”), provide for the grant of non-qualified equity-based awards to eligible employees, consultants and advisors, and non-employee directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. The 2015 Stock Incentive Plan was approved by shareholders authorizing up to 18,000,000 shares available for issuance under the plan. Additionally, 1,232,068 shares that remained available for grants under the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan were added to the shares available for issuance under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan. As of June 30, 2019, there were a total of 9,379,904 shares available for future issuance under the Stock Plans. New shares are issued from the Company’s balance of authorized Common Stock from the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan to satisfy stock option exercises and vesting of awards. The Company recognized the following equity-based compensation expense and benefits in the Consolidated Statements of Operations:

The fair value of the Company’s stock options granted during fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017 was estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected stock price volatility and the estimated life of each award:
| Year Ended
June 30, 2019 |  | June 24, 2018 |  | June 25, 2017
Expected volatility | 32.23 | % |  | 34.66 | % |  | 28.85 | %
Risk-free interest rate | 2.62 | % |  | 2.53 | % |  | 1.92 | %
Expected term (years) | 4.70 |  |  | 4.74 |  |  | 4.75 |
Dividend yield | 2.70 | % |  | 1.05 | % |  | 1.50 | %

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $8.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options granted and outstanding which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 2.7 years. Restricted Stock Units During the fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, the Company issued both service-based RSUs and market-based performance RSUs (“PRSUs”). Market-based PRSUs generally vest three years from the grant date if certain performance criteria are achieved and require continued employment. Based upon the terms of such awards, the number of shares that can be earned over the performance periods is based on the Company’s Common Stock price performance compared to the market price performance of the Philadelphia Semiconductor Sector Index (“SOX”), ranging from 0% to 150% of target. The stock price performance or market price performance is measured using the closing price for the 50-trading days prior to the dates the performance period begins and ends. The target number of shares represented by the market-based PRSUs is increased by 2% of target for each 1% that Common Stock price performance exceeds the market price performance of the SOX index. The result of the vesting formula is rounded down to the nearest whole number. Total stockholder return is a measure of stock price appreciation in this performance period. The following table summarizes restricted stock activity:
| Service-based RSUs Outstanding |  | Market-based RSUs Outstanding
Number of Shares |  | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value |  | Number of Shares |  | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value

The fair value of the Company’s service-based RSUs was calculated based on fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant, discounted for dividends. The fair value of the Company’s market-based PRSUs granted during fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017 was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model at the date of the grant. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected stock price volatility and the estimated life of each award:
| Year Ended
June 30, 2019 |  | June 24, 2018 |  | June 25, 2017
Expected volatility | 32.65 | % |  | 34.07 | % |  | 27.48 | %
Risk-free interest rate | 2.52 | % |  | 2.35 | % |  | 1.55 | %
Expected term (years) | 2.92 |  |  | 2.92 |  |  | 2.92 |
Dividend yield | 2.49 | % |  | 1.05 | % |  | 1.50 | %
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $271.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to all unvested RSUs granted which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 2.2 years. ESPP The Company has an employee stock purchase plan which allows employees to designate a portion of their base compensation to be deducted and used to purchase the Company’s Common Stock at a purchase price per share of the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the first or last day of the applicable purchase period. Unrecognized compensation costs associated with this plan are not considered material.
