Responsibilities
You’ll perform measurements as they come in as well as working on longer term activities relating to improving the operation of our test labs in San Jose
We have a wide range of equipment for characterization of semiconductor devices – automated parametric test systems, semiconductor parameter analyzers, noise characterization systems, TLP testers (used for ESD structure characterization), semi-automatic and automatic probe stations with most testing done at the wafer level
The lab works on a variety of technologies including image sensors, ASICs, BCD, high voltage, analog mixed signal, and low voltage
You will support daily activities but also will get a chance to work on longer term improvement to have a lasting impact on our lab
As new technology development requires development of devices which must be characterized, this work is a critical part of the device development process and we are for someone who can help improve efficiency
Some typical activities would be:
* Wafer level measurements on test structures using semiconductor parameter analyzers
* Writing and running test programs on our Keysight/Agilent automatic parametric test systems (code in Rocky Mountain Basic or C)
* Testing ESD (electrostatic discharge) devices using TLP (transmission line pulse) testers
* Writing scripts to summarize large amounts of data using appropriate scripting languages
* Performing noise measurements using a flicker noise system
