Introduction:
As a Senior Engineer in reliability, you will need to have basic reliability knowledge and understanding of the reliability failure mechanisms, preferably in gate oxide and/or back-end-of-line (BEOL) 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.
Your Job:
- 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 reliability test structures, perform qualification and provide reliability assessment for either one or several of these mechanisms Gox TDDB, PID, BEOL EM, SM, BEOL TDDB.
- Design test structures, characterize and propose Gox PID and/or EM design rules.
- Build up modeling for EM, BEOL TDDB failure mechanisms and use the models to support IC designers reliability risk assessment.
- Establish reliability test requirements for new / advanced technology.
- Play key role in new technology core team to build reliability into the device/process.
- Continuously improve reliability test cycle time & accuracy through refinement of test structure design and test methodologies.
- Provide technical support to customers on building-in reliability into final products.
- Assess reliability risk for process changes, fab excursions and field failures from customers.
- Have ownership of the definition, documentation and maintenance of test procedures, test findings & tools, plus training of reliability staff.
Other Responsibilities:
- Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs
Required Qualifications:
- Education - Bachelor/master's degree in engineering (Electronics, Materials or Physics) or PhD
- Years of Experience - minimum 4 years of experience in semiconductor reliability
- Ability to Engage with the customers and work with internal teams (Fab and TD) teams
- Basic reliability knowledge and understanding of the reliability failure mechanisms, preferably in gate oxide and/or back-end-of-line (BEOL) reliability.
- Experience in either Front end/backend/Packaging Reliability is a must have
- Semiconductor process and/or device physics knowledge is a plus
- Fluency in English Language - Written & verbal
Preferred Qualifications:
- Team player with good people skills
- Good technical and problem-solving skills
- Able to work under tight project timeline
- Knowledge of Minitab, JMP, FMEA, 8D is an advantage
