Intel Foundry Process TD Frame Cellset Engineer

Job Title

Intel Foundry Process TD Frame Cellset Engineer

Role Summary

Owner of frame cellset integration and validation for Intel Foundry Technology Development. The role integrates scribe-line cells (process monitors, alignment marks, metrology, electrical test, etc.) into frame layouts that accompany each product and supports fabrication from development through high-volume manufacturing.

The role interacts with Process Technology Development, Product Design, Litho RET, Design Enablement, Tapeout and Mask Operations, and Virtual Factory groups to ensure frame collateral accuracy and tape-out readiness.

Experience Level

Mid-level. Typical experience guidance: several years of semiconductor manufacturing experience (see Education Requirements for degree/experience combinations).

Responsibilities

Primary duties include producing and validating frame layouts and communicating changes to manufacturing.

• Perform layout edits based on process design specifications and fab module owner guidelines.
• Disposition drawn-data changes through XORs and design-rule flows.
• Provide frame dimension and field configuration estimates to product design teams.
• Verify placement of scribe-line cells to meet fab module best-known-methods and technology specifications.
• Ensure correct frame data output and validate frame integrity through the tape-out process.
• Document and communicate frame revision changes and NPI setup data to manufacturing organizations.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items noted where applicable.

• Experience in semiconductor manufacturing processes, particularly lithography and metrology. (Must-have)
• Practical experience with layout edits, design-rule flows, and tape-out data validation. (Must-have)
• Ability to produce accurate frame dimension and field configuration estimates and to verify scribe-line cell placement. (Must-have)
• Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills; attention to detail and ability to work independently and in teams. (Must-have)
• Familiarity with CAD layout tools; desirable experience with Cadence Virtuoso and Mentor/Calibre tools. (Preferred)
• Experience with UNIX design-flow environments and basic shell scripting. (Preferred)

Education Requirements

Degree requirements include one of the following: PhD in Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Industrial/Mechanical Engineering, or related field; OR Master's degree in those fields with 3+ years of semiconductor manufacturing experience; OR Bachelor's degree in those fields with 4+ years of semiconductor manufacturing experience. Candidates with equivalent practical semiconductor manufacturing experience may be considered.
