Principal Member Of Technical Staff, Process Technology Integration

THE ROLE:

The Principal Member Technical Staff (PMTS), Process Technology Integration will interface with our foundry partner's process integration & fabrication teams in order to drive yield, performance and reliability for Silicon Photonics test vehicles and products. You will need to drive deeper engagement with the foundry to better understand their process, make the right decisions jointly in terms of evaluating and implementing process improvements, as well as provide the necessary technical inputs to other AMD teams across circuit & physical design, advanced packaging, foundry operations, yield, product engineering, quality and reliability teams. This role will require you to interact closely with the foundry and various global AMD teams as the SME (subject matter expert) in this area and provide creative and innovative solutions at the leading edge.

THE PERSON:

You should have a passion for photonics & process technology and the desire to work at the cutting edge to make great products. You will need to "think like a process integration technologist" and influence the foundry and AMD global teams to make the right technology decisions for manufacturing AMD products incorporating Silicon Photonics elements. You will need a proven track record of technical contributions and innovative problem solving in the area of Silicon Photonics.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Provide expertise in process and integration for silicon photonics fabrication at leading edge foundry
• Detailed review of parametric signatures (optical & electrical) as well as systematic defects with the foundry, and oversight of photonics fabrication processes across products and technology nodes, including across fabrication facilities if needed.
• Jointly design and analyze process improvement (CIP/BKM) evaluations run at the foundry for silicon photonics chips. Provide technical assessment for AMD process change review board for CIP/BKM roll-out decisions.
• Hands-on basic product yield analysis (hardbin, softbin & parametric data) as well as foundry WAT & Optical (ILET, ILOT) parametric analysis.
• Ability to understand effects of different DFM/layout usage on the product performance and yield and can provide process related inputs for DFM/layout tweaks.
• Close collaboration with design, optical systems & device analysis teams to understand structural and parametric fail mechanisms for performance degradation, yield loss, potential reliability and quality issues, and deduce process failure mechanisms.
• Interface with supplier quality & reliability engineering teams to provide technical inputs for potential process excursions/material review board, as well as to assess the root cause of reliability/HTOL fails and drive the right corrective actions in the process flow with the foundry.
• Maintaining the Silicon Photonics "technology encyclopedia" from test-chip to volume ramp phase for all current technology nodes, including failure analysis/defect pareto/process change history and speculative process flows.
• Keeping abreast of forward-looking industry trends in the overall area of silicon photonics process integration, unit processes, materials and fabrication equipment, as well as competitive analysis/tear-downs.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Proven professional experience in the semiconductor industry across multiple technology nodes/generations
• Direct experience with fabrication and process integration of silicon photonics test vehicle and/or products including the ability to analyze inline, electrical and optical parametric data
• Hands on process integration experience with knowledge of basic foundry FEOL/MEOL/BEOL fabrication flows & methodology as used in advanced nodes
• Track record of creativity and innovation in solving issues at the leading edge, including relevant patents & publications.
• Knowledge of PFA and FI techniques used in Device Analysis, including the ability to deduce fail mechanisms especially as they pertain to silicon photonics aspects
• Strong technical leadership and communication skills so as to be able to interact with and influence a wide range of stakeholders including the (external) foundry and (internal) foundry interface, circuit & systems design, advanced packaging, yield, product engineering, device analysis, test-chip and DFM teams, in a globally distributed environment across time zones

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Master's or Ph.D. degree preferred in a technical field such as Electrical Engineering, Physics/Optics/Engineering Physics, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science.
