JOB DESCRIPTION

NGTC (National GaN Technology Centre) in IME is looking for a talent to join its Technology Team for R&D developments. The qualified candidate has opportunities to participate in technical tasks related to RF GaN foundry for the applications up to 140 GHz. This includes the following area:
  • Perform experiments to analyse and determine the root cause of failure in GaN devices (e.g. Transistors, Capacitors, Inductors, Resistors, and Diode) and circuits.
  • Join the cross-functional teams on appropriate FMEA (Failure Mode Effects & Analysis) techniques to indicate the failure mechanisms of the devices.
  • Participate teamwork on process development and yield improvements.
  • Lead and drives device reliability/qualification activities, and data correlation studies.
  • Collect, analyse, and manage large & disparate data sets and distill information into concise presentations with possible recommendations as quick feedback to the engineering team.
  • Develop new FMEA techniques to improve detection capability, productivity or process optimization.
  • Be a key stakeholder to resolve customers' questions or concerns related to product qualifications and reliability.
  • Mentor/coach the junior testing engineers in daily-based laboratory activities.

JOB REQUIREMENT
  • PhD degree in Electrical Engineering (EE), Materials Science or Physics, MS degree in EE with 10+ relevant working experiences.
  • > 7 years of FMEA experience in step-by-step approach for identifying all possible failures in the semiconductor industry.
  • FMEA experience in Wide-Bandgap (WBG) devices (GaAs, GaN) is plus.
  • Good knowledge of WBG device physics and its fabrication is a big plus.
  • In-Depth understanding of FMEA techniques (e.g. delaying of devices/chips by wet etching or plasma etching and its data analysis) with good hands-on experience in using different analytical techniques (e.g. SIMS, XPS, AES, SEM, FIB-SEM, TEM, AFM, etc.)
  • Experiences of semiconductor device qualification standard such as JEDEC.
  • Excellent report writing and presentation skills, able to robustly defend data analysis and conclusions where necessary.

OTHER ESSENTIAL ATTRIBUTES
  • Good team-player personality, able to pro-actively engage with other groups
  • Self-motivated, energetic, able to delivery in time
