Your Job:

• The role requires a strong background in semiconductor device physics.
• The candidate should be familiar with the electrical behaviors of semiconductor devices (DC/low frequency, RF/high frequency, noise, mismatch, etc.), and the types of test structures that are needed to characterize them.
• The candidate should be able to apply his/her knowledge of semiconductor device physics in a practical compact model extraction scenario, such as being able to analyze and explain the trends in the data, being able to distinguish real trends from ‘noise’, associate various physical phenomena with the observed trends, submit electrical characterization requests, extract various compact modeling parameters, do various QA checks and submit the model for release.
• The candidate should also be able to do design and layout of test structures; be able to correlate device cross section with layout; do various kinds of simulations in Cadence ADE;
• Be proficient in writing python scripts for doing model parameter extraction, data analysis and QA;
• Have knowledge of industry standard compact model families and parameter extraction tools/methodologies; have knowledge of Verilog-A and be able to write Verilog-A models; and be able to field customer queries pertaining to the model.

Essential Responsibilities:

• Device model extraction for DC and RF frequencies (BSIM/PSP and their SOI versions as required)
• Definition of test structures and layout as and when necessary.
• Knowledge of semiconductor physics and application in understanding device data (Diode, Varactor, MOSFET etc.)
• Knowledge of S-parameters and their application in extracting device models.
• Interaction with team to resolve discrepancies in the data, model etc.

Required qualifications:

• Education/Experience - M.S/PhD with focus on semiconductor devices
• Experience required MS with 6+ years or PhD with 3-5 years of ex
• Exposure to RF a plus (S-parameters etc.)
• Exposure to Anthropic/Claude a plus
• Fluency in English Language - written & verbal
• Preferred qualifications
