Introduction:

As Principal Engineer in reliability, you will need to have basic reliability knowledge and understanding of the reliability failure mechanisms, preferably in gate oxide, transistor device and/or back-end-of-line reliability. Semiconductor process and/or device physics knowledge is a plus. Your responsibilities are to collaborate with fab and technology development teams and perform reliability test structure design, reliability testing and analysis, risk assessments and design rule proposals.

Responsibilities:

• Provide technical support on qualifications & reliability improvements i.e. qualification plan definition, test condition determination, hardware & software design for special test requests, test results analysis and provide recommendations for competitiveness & improvement.
• Execute benchmarking exercises on reliability testing methodology, process qualification criteria & reliability design rules.
• Design and characterize reliability test structures for qualification and definition of reliability layout rules and models.
• Establish reliability test requirements for new / advanced technology.
• Provide technical support to customers on building-in reliability into final products.
• Continuously improve reliability test cycle time & accuracy through refinement of test structure design and test methodologies.
• Play key role in new technology core team to build reliability into the device/process.
• Assess reliability risk for process changes, fab excursions and field failures from customers.
• Build up modeling for HCI/NBTI/TDDB/PID/EM/BEOL TDDB failure mechanisms and use the modeling to support IC designers reliability risk assessment.
• Have ownership of the definition, documentation and maintenance of test procedures, test findings & tools, plus training of reliability staff.

Qualifications & Experiences:

• Bachelor / Master / PhD Degree in Engineering (Electronics, Materials or Physics).
• Minimum 7 years of experience in semiconductor reliability.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Team player with good interpersonal and communication skills.
• Good analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Able to work under tight project timeline.
• Knowledge of Minitab, JMP, FMEA, 8D is an advantage.
