Transistor Reliability R&D engineer

Job Description

Transistor Reliability R&D engineer

The candidate will help to develop leading-edge logic process technologies that will be used in future CPU and SOC products by ensuring the front-end-of-line and transistors meet reliability requirements. The key focus area for this job role is to develop physics-based and empirical compact models that quantify transistor reliability. Additionally, the job role will involve partnering with process development teams to define new transistor architectures, materials, and process flows. The job also involves developing and conducting electrical tests to quantify transistor reliability behavior and identify new fail modes that may be present in emerging technologies.

The engineer's responsibilities may include but not be limited to:

-Designing and executing experiments to determine the necessary parameters for reliability model development and validation.

-Developing new acceleration techniques and analytical tools to assure the early identification of potential reliability problems with new products, manufacturing processes, and transistor architecture.

-Developing risk assessments and making quality and reliability predictions based on data that collected using statistical principles and design of experiments fundamentals.

-Creating reliability design layout rules and specifications.

-Advising design engineering on selection, application and test of electronic components and systems.

-Collaboration with cross functional teams to solve technical / reliability issues during technology development and ramp to high-volume manufacturing.

-Recommending process technology certification evaluation and acceptance criteria.

-Recommending material, design or test methods and statistical process control procedures for achieving required levels of product reliability.

-Partners may include Logic Technology Development (LTD), wafer Fab Manufacturing and Test (FSM), Assembly and Test Manufacturing (ATM), Intel Custom Foundry, and partners within Intel's Customer Quality Network (CQN) focused on Product, Development, and Manufacturing Reliability.
