Introduction
As a Hardware Developer at IBM, you’ll get to work on the systems that are driving the quantum revolution and the AI era. Join an elite team of engineering professionals who enable IBM customers to make better decisions quicker on the most trusted hardware platform in today’s market.
 
Your Role and Responsibilities
IBM Research at Albany, NY is looking for an ESD Device engineer to lead the definition, development, and qualification of ESD HBM and CDM devices integrated into next generation CMOS technology nodes.
 
The responsibilities inherent to this position are as follows:
  • Define and develop industry-standard ESD/Latchup protection solutions and design-of-experiments (DOE) based on it for early evaluation in advanced CMOS technology nodes
  • Define and design Human Body Model (HBM) and Charge Device Model (CDM) test macros for electrical characterization at wafer and package level
  • Contribute to all ESD/Latchup-related design ground rules, design manual content, ground rule waivers and ESD reference guide inputs
  • Execute end-to-end qualification plans for qualification plans in accordance with existing JEDEC specifications
  • Define electrical test plans compatible with industry-standard test platforms and test methodology
  • Perform analysis of electrical data obtained from electrical wafer/package-level test
  • Drive submissions to failure analysis to classify failure and defect modes from electrical test and reliability stresses
  • Collaborate with process integration engineers to address potential design/process sensitivities
  • Collaborate with the Characterization and Reliability teams towards a technology qualification of the ESD/Latchup CMOS elements
  • Work with circuit IO Design Teams to co-optimize I/O and ESD performance
Required Technical and Professional Expertise
  • Basic familiarity with ESD and Latchup protection development and characterization
  • Basic understanding of the CMOS processing flow
  • 1+ years’ experience with characterization of large amounts of electrical data using standard tools and programming languages
  • Basic knowledge of device compact and in particular ESD models and underlying electrical test concepts used in the lab or on the manufacturing flow
  • 1+ years’ experience with Cadence Virtuoso tools suite skills.
Preferred Technical and Professional Expertise
  • Basic TCAD simulation knowledge
  • Basic familiarity with Physical Failure Analysis concepts and techniques for defect root cause analysis
  • 1+ years of experience with ESD and Latchup protection development and characterization
  • 1+ years’ experience with ESD models and underlying electrical test concepts used in the lab or on the manufacturing flow
  • Membership / organizational role in an ESD-focused professional organization is a plus
