Internship - Reliability Testing

NXP

The future starts here! Ready to join NXP?

Soft errors are bit errors caused by alpha particles from IC materials or by cosmic neutrons. Soft-error rate (SER) is a potential thread for many NXP product types. The SER that a product observes in the field depends, among others, on the flux of alpha particles that is observed by the sensitive circuits. In some package technologies, e.g., wafer-level chip-scale package (WLCSP), the layers in the back-end stack of the die will fully block or attenuate the alpha-particle flux that reaches the die surface. Your role is to develop a tool to analyze and optimize the alpha-particle induced SER in WLCSP products. The tool will be based on an available model for the attenuation of the alpha flux by layers of material.

Your Team

You will be part of the IVN Quality team, which focuses on the quality of NXP’s automotive networking ICs, both during development and after release. Partly, you will be supervised by the Silicon Reliability team, which has in-depth knowledge of silicon-related failure mechanisms.

Your Responsibilities

  • Study general soft-error rate documentation.
  • Get familiar with our existing model for alpha-particle attenuation.
  • Develop a tool in Excel for the alpha-flux analysis of WLCSP products.
  • Feed the tool with extracted layouts from real-life designs.
  • Demonstrate how the tool can be applied to layout optimization.
  • Write an internship report.
  • Present the work in a meeting.

What’s in it for you

  • A great opportunity to develop your skills (technical, soft skills, communication, etc.)
  • Gaining experience in a multinational and diverse environment.
  • Possibility to become part of NXP’s Young Professional Talent Pool.
  • Working on real product designs which contribute to NXP’s objectives.

Your Profile

  • Student at Master of Science level.
  • Affinity with Mathematics.
  • Experience with Excel – this program will be used to create the tool.
  • Good level of English is required (attendance to meetings / presentations with international team, reading and writing of documentation).

Duration

This is a full-time internship (40 hours per week) with a duration of at least 3 months, but possibly longer. Please note that to be considered for an internship/working student assignment, you need to be registered as a student during the entire period.
