MTS - Reliability

Job Detail

Introduction: As a member of technical staff (MTS) 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 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 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/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. Other Responsibilities: Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs
