RESPONSIBILITIES

The Device Characterization Engineering Intern will support semiconductor device characterization and yield improvement activities within a high-volume manufacturing environment. The intern will work alongside Device, Integration, Probe/Test, and Process Engineering teams to analyze electrical test data, identify device and process-related performance trends, and develop data-driven approaches to improve product yield and manufacturing performance.

The role provides hands-on exposure to semiconductor device behavior, electrical characterization, wafer-level test data, statistical analysis, and structured problem solving.

Responsibilities

• Analyze wafer-level electrical and probe test data to identify yield trends,

outliers, and systematic performance signatures.

• Perform data mining and statistical analysis to correlate electrical

characteristics with process, device, and manufacturing variables.

• Support characterization of semiconductor devices across operating conditions

and manufacturing variation.

• Investigate electrical parameters and device performance distributions to

identify opportunities for yield improvement.

• Develop analytical models, visualizations, or automated methods to improve

detection and understanding of device and yield trends.

• Work with Device, Integration, Probe/Test, and Process Engineering teams to

investigate manufacturing and product performance issues.

• Apply structured problem-solving methods to identify potential drivers of

electrical performance variation.

• Summarize technical findings and communicate conclusions and recommendations

to engineering teams.

• Complete an internship project with a defined technical deliverable

demonstrating measurable improvement or new insight into device/yield performance.
