Introduction:

Perform model extractions for DC and RF frequencies for devices like Diodes, Varactors, Resistors, ESD etc. and develop a compact model based on device physics for SOI, Bulk technologies. Responsible for the definition of test structures and layouts for the necessary devices and submit tests like DC-CV, DC-IV, S-parameters, Noise, Mismatch etc. for electrical characterization. Work closely with team members and interact with global team to understand and solve any discrepancies in data or model.

Your Job:

• Interact with the Technology Development, Measurement Lab and Library (LVS, PEX) Teams to understand the flow right from the Process through Design, Hardware measurements and modeling aspects.
• Use modeling tools like Cadence and Simulators (Spectre and HSPICE) and Verilog-A for model parameter extraction and testing.
• Device model extraction for DC and RF frequencies (BEOL capacitor, Inductor, Diode, Varactor, Resistors, ESD device etc.).
• Definition of test structures and layout as and when necessary.
• Knowledge of semiconductor physics and application in understanding device data, especially passive devices.
• Knowledge of S-parameters and their application in extracting device models.
• Interaction with team to resolve discrepancies in the data, model etc.
• RF knowledge of Back-end of line devices like Inductors, Capacitors, Transmission Lines.
• Able to analyze and debug EM simulations.
• Characterize and Model various Back end of line devices.
• Address/debug customer issues that may arise from time to time.
• Explore innovative solutions to challenging problems at work and file patents as well as publish quality work in reputed peer reviewed journals and conferences.

Other Responsibilities:

• Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all
• Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs

Required Qualifications:

• Education Masters/Ph.D in Electronics, VLSI, Semiconductor Physics or related field.
• Years of Experience Freshers with suitable background may apply
• Fluency in English Language – written & verbal

Preferred Qualifications:

Strong background in Semiconductor Device Physics, Circuit level appreciation and moderate experience with ICCAP, ADS, Verilog-A and scripting languages like Python, R.

Knowledge in RF and EM simulation is a plus (S-parameters etc.).

Experience in semiconductor device characterization is a plus.
