Position Overview:
ON Semiconductor is looking for a highly motivated engineer to work in the Design Systems Technology organization as a Modeling & Characterization Engineer. You will be responsible for SPICE model extraction for advanced integrated semiconductor technologies. This will require close interaction with process development engineers and manufacturing fab personnel. The role also requires a close working relationship with engineers from other DST teams worldwide.to push the boundaries of technology and physics in order to deliver better products in the increasingly complex world of chip manufacturing.

Performance Objectives:

• Extract device SPICE models using ICCAP, NoisePro, OrCAD, and other in-house software tool kits.
• Work with our US and EU Lab to setup and perform electrical measurements on various devices.
• Support technology R&D methodology from TD to Design Enablement.
• Document characterization and modeling work according to established procedures.
• Evaluate and support implementation of new characterization and modeling methods.
• Guide and assist the development of test structures and characterization module frames.
• Provide performance assessment and feedbacks for device development engineering.
• Interface with PDK, Design Methodology, Design, Foundry and external customers to resolve characterization/modeling issues and improve characterization/modeling procedures.
• Work jointly with modeling groups worldwide to perform characterization/modeling tasks.
• Perform other tasks as may be from time to time assigned.

Required Qualifications:

• MS Degree in Electrical Engineering/Physics/Material Science or related field plus 0-2 years of experience. Or BS with 3+ years.
• In-depth understanding of semiconductor device physics.
• Solid knowledge in DC, AC, noise and RF characterization.
• Previous Design/Device fabrication/Process integration experience desired.
• Ability to utilize statistical techniques is required.
• UNIX/LINIX shell, PERL programming experience is desired.
