Low Yield Analysis Engineer

Job Details:

Job Description: 

Note: This role requires regular onsite presence to fulfill essential job responsibilities. Provides process development direction throughout the whole lifecycle of a technology node by identifying root cause yield limiters. Performs statistical analysis, develops visualizations and presentations to construct accurate process development roadmaps that drive technology yield milestones. Develops methods, processes, and systems to consolidate and analyze diverse big data sources, establishing optimal methodologies for defect mode understanding and yield modeling, leading to accurate yield Pareto construction and process roadmap definition. Organizes, interprets, and structures insights from fab process, defect, and electrical data and detects data anomalies and drives process changes for yield enhancement. Extracts insights from structured and unstructured data by quickly synthesizing large volumes of data, and applying statistics, machine learning and coding techniques. Develops systems to transform complex experimental and manufacturing data into yield improvement actions using knowledge of product design and test features. Ensures manufacturability over process and product design through thorough analysis of process and spec corners and works with design to resolve yield issues before manufacturing ramp. Executes new product introductions, enables design technology cooptimization, and participates in design of experiments in factory task forces. Creates cross functional collaborations across organizations to debug yield limiters in design, test, and process development areas. Develops tools, multivariate algorithms, and methodologies to perform high volume data analysis to identify root cause yield limiters and identify key process changes to advance yield improvement. Performs fault isolation and failure analysis to determine the root cause of failures by evaluating the electrical characteristics of the components using various tools and techniques such as ATE testing, DFx software tools, optical probing, logic/circuit simulation, and emulation, probing, and layout study. Develops measurement recipes to provide quick and accurate feedback on product integrity, helping resolve issues with yield or product quality impact. Develops and hardens equipment capable of meeting operational and capability needs for leading edge logic node.

Low Yield Analysis (LYA) engineers are responsible for end-of-line failure analysis of the assembly and substrate process and identifying key mechanisms that contribute to ultimate root cause identification. This can relate to specific electrical failures and/or be driven via understanding in-line defect and process health (for Defect Characterization LYA). Engineers will be expected to conduct hands on lab work, define data acquisition strategies and data analysis plans, and recommend corrective actions/fixes to internal customers. The LYA engineer will utilize strong presentation skills to influence individual process engineers as well as platform teams. Analysis will include both electrical fault isolation (FI) and physical failure analysis (FA) collection. The LYA engineer will also interact with a large team of technicians and provide guidance and mentoring on a wide variety of FI/FA methods and strategies. Other duties may include process and defect characterization and developing innovative techniques/approaches to accelerate failure identification and root cause mechanism understanding. LYA engineers will be expected to provide consultation concerning packaging/assembly challenges and work with partner organizations towards improvements in the manufacturing process. The ability to rapidly respond to customer/client requests or events as they occur while developing solutions utilizing formal education and engineering judgment will be anticipated.
