Develop and refine test methodologies for cutting-edge technologies
Imec is the world-renowned research organization that develops state-of-the-art integrated circuit (IC) and system technologies. The underlying manufacturing processes of ICs are very complex and hence susceptible to imperfections (“defects”). These cause malfunctioning ICs that should be filtered out, if feasible before further processing and certainly prior to shipment to customers.
Therefore, thorough electrical testing of manufactured ICs is a crucial activity to safeguard quality and minimize field returns. Typically ~10% of the IC’s silicon area is occupied by circuitry meant to facilitate test: design-for-test (DfT). The quality of test, typically expressed by terms such as “test coverage” and “test escapes”, is directly related to the cost of test, which includes the capabilities of test equipment and the time spent on it, silicon area invested in DfT, etc.).
The semiconductor industry is continuously searching to reduce the cost of testing, while maintaining the effectiveness thereof. To drive these activities, we are seeking an IC Test/Design-for-Test Methodology Researcher to join our team.
