• The PFA engineer will be primarily responsible for analytical TEM imaging and sample preparation

• They will also operate multiple SEM and FIB tools often using CAD software to drive to areas of interest

• FIB work will include TEM liftout sample prep, FIB circuit edits (probe pads, jumpers, isolating circuits), and progressive cross-sections

• SEM work may include various imaging techniques including SE / BSE and EDS x-ray microanalysis of semiconductor and metallurgical structures. Imaging of electrically active defects using passive voltage contrast, and EBIC / EBAC using nanoprobing may also be required. AFM scanning capacitance microscopy is also an area for development

• Development of methods for delayering integrated circuits using mechanical, chemical / plasma etching, FIB, and laser methods could be pursued

• This position requires an innovative approach to problem solving through sample preparation and use of various analytical tools. Method development is a key component of this position

Qualifications

• 
  MS / PhD in Physics, Materials Science, Metallurgy, or Electrical or Mechanical Engineering

• 2+ yrs related experience using analytical TEM for analysis of materials defects preferably in semiconductor devices

• New college graduates will be considered provided they have had hands-on TEM experience

Preferred:

• A strong interdisciplinary interest in physics, chemistry, and multiple engineering disciplines is a strong attribute

• Other skills of value include:

o Familiarity with laser modification / milling of materials

o Basic understanding of fractography and stress modeling

o Metallurgical understanding of soft metals such as solders, gold, copper, and aluminum particularly in terms of fatigue and corrosion characteristics

o Computer skills in image analysis using ImageJ, MatLab, etc
