TD Memory Quality and Reliability PhD Intern

About This Role

• About the Team The Technology Development (TD) Quality and Reliability organization plays a critical role in enabling the successful deployment of next-generation semiconductor technologies through silicon-based quality, reliability, and technology readiness assessments.
• The Memory Quality and Reliability team works closely with Design, Device Engineering, Product Development Engineering (PDE), and Yield organizations to develop, characterize, and certify SRAM, Register File (RF), and Fuse technologies for advanced process nodes.
• The team supports key technology certification and PDK release milestones through memory characterization, silicon data analysis, predictive modeling, and risk assessment.
• Role Overview As a TD Memory Quality and Reliability Intern, you will collaborate with experienced engineers to evaluate advanced memory technologies and help drive technology readiness for future Intel Foundry process nodes.
• This role offers hands-on experience in memory characterization, silicon data analytics, statistical modeling, and semiconductor technology development.
• You will contribute to projects that support technology certification decisions by analyzing silicon data, developing predictive models, and assessing memory performance across various operating conditions.
• Responsibilities Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to: Analyze silicon characterization data from SRAM, Register File (RF), and Fuse memory test structures to identify performance trends, variability, and potential risks.
• Support memory characterization activities across voltage, temperature, and process conditions.
• Perform data analysis, visualization, and reporting using Python, JMP, or similar analytical tools.
• Develop and enhance statistical models for Vmin/Vmax prediction and technology readiness assessments.
• Support Silicon-to-Simulation (Sil2Sim) correlation studies and memory characterization methodologies.
• Generate technical reports and contribute to technology certification reviews.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Design, Device Engineering, Process Integration, Product Development Engineering, and Yield Engineering.
• Assist with risk assessment activities and technology certification milestones.
• Present data-driven findings and recommendations to engineering teams and project stakeholders.
