Description
As a Failure Analysis Engineer, you will be part of the Quality and Reliability group, performing failure analysis of ASIC products.
This role will require a high level of collaboration and interaction with Product Test Engineering, Design Engineering, Quality Engineering, Assembly Engineering, and Foundry Engineering teams.
Responsibilities include:
- Conduct root cause failure analysis of silicon product reliability test and field failures and propose corrective actions.
- Develop and implement standard processes for failure analysis using all types of FA equipment.
- Coordinate all the logistics and instructions to direct the failure analysis process and carry out FA function in a systematic way.
- Document and report failure analysis results to management.
- Function as a technical resource for failure analysis questions.
- Develop and maintain relationships with FA service and equipment vendors.
- Interface with product, test, and design engineering groups to identify and characterize faults on emerging technologies, while providing fault isolation, identification, and characterization for yield/reliability failures.
Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related required. Master's degree preferred.
- 8+ years of experience in semiconductor failure analysis field.
- Previous background writing and executing FA plans and interpret results from FA techniques such as cross-section, X-ray, CSAM, TDR, FIB, SEM, and TEM, IR/EMMI/OBIRCH.
- Validated ability to specify hardware and implement set up for dynamic FA using SIL (Solid Immersion Lens) and LSM (Laser Scanning Microscopy).
- Prior experience of fault isolation techniques using ATE, Scan/ATPG, MBIST to identify, isolate, and characterize device-level faults.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Semiconductor technology and process knowledge (Fab, Assembly, and Advanced Packaging).
- Good understanding of transistor function/basic electronics, semiconductor device physics, and behavior under various operating conditions.
- Proficient in ATE docked dynamic fault isolation using LVP, LVI/SMI, LADA, TIVA techniques.
- Knowledge of JEDEC IC Qualification tests and requirements is beneficial.
- Applied experience driving physical failure analysis with suppliers.
