Position Summary

As an Engineer I, see roles and responsibilities below.

Role and Responsibilities

Detect systematic, random yield loss, and drive fab engineering team to implement preventive measures. Use statistical analysis, semiconductor process, device physics knowledge, coding, and machine learning. Evaluate the product characteristics from the perspectives of circuit design to semiconductor process and device physics to identify the root cause of detected yield losses. Utilize the statistical analysis tools to find fab commonality, deep dive into electrical test data and tool parameters to segregate good and affected material at suspected timeframe. Evaluate process changes and check for statistical significance to wafer sort testing to provide clear direction to Fab for effectiveness and risk of change points. Derive a model for defects, share the results with the responsible department, and carry out the management of improvement items. Code significant change items and other relevant factors into the baseline production yield model to establish appropriate yield targets and deliver clear yield forecasts to fabrication teams.
