Characterization Engineer

NY Creates is a leading research and development hub as well as a commercialization facilitator in advanced digital, analog, and power technologies. Job Description: NY Creates is seeking applicants for the position Test and Characterization Engineer to work in its 300mm semiconductor development facilities. This position is responsible for: In-line measurements, off-line measurements and characterization analysis of structures and devices fabricated on 300mm Si wafers. The candidate must execute project-based tasks on timelines set by project needs and customer deliverables. In addition to specific project needs, long term studies and continuous improvement in yield detractors will be ongoing. This would involve monitoring in-line test data, identifying yield detractors and systematic defects, selecting test cases to perform FA, work with technicians to resolve root cause and work with the process team to improve the process and mitigate the defect. Develop offline failure analysis plans to resolve root cause for major yield detractors Job duties include, but not limited to: Execution of measurements, compiling of data and documentation of findings. Examples of inline metrology and inspection include within wafer defectivity inspection, optical inspection, topdown SEM, and a variety of measurement techniques to determine film thickness, film resistivity and other film properties. Offline measurement techniques may include SEM, TEM and FIB. Organization of data pulled from multiple sources is expected. This position requires interaction with diverse groups of technicians and engineers who are responsible for unit process development, process integration development and manufacturing. Problem solving will require steady-paced analysis to ensure fast turn-around-time and cycles of learning that positively impact customer deliverables. The successful applicant must be able to interface effectively with fab operations, process maintenance, and semiconductor engineering professionals from client companies. Requirements: MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS AA Bachelor's degree in an engineering or science related discipline from a college or university accredited by the US Department of Education or internationally recognized accred
