Job Description
Description
Job Title: Sr. Analog Physical Design Engineer
Job Duties:
- Work on detailed column ADC circuit design, with a focus on column layout design. Collaborating with other column ADC designers to optimize column ADC’s performance with minimum silicon area.
- Conduct cross products column ADC layout comparison and IP layout development and maintenance.
- Perform RCX extraction of column circuit and critical signals parasitic analysis and propose optimized design to improve column ADC performance and image quality.
- Conduct image sensor pixel array and column ADC supply analysis using Totem or other methodologies, including worst case P2P resistor extraction, and optimize chip floorplan and power routing.
- Study design rules for new processes and provide physical design guidelines to the design team. Debug and develop Calibre svrf files when needed.
- Apply SKILL script to improve productivity and design robustness.
- Responsible for full-custom analog IC layout and physical verification (DRC/ANT/DFM/ERC/LVS)using industry-standard tools like Cadence Virtuoso and Calibre.
- Execute top-level layout and coordinate layout resources and schedules for all modules.
- Perform floor planning and placements including pad locations, power/clock domain planning, ESD, integration of AMS and digital blocks, and chip-level routing strategy.
- Lead top-level implementation from floorplan through GDS tape-out.
- Develop and maintain layout methodologies and documentation to ensure efficient and consistent design practices.
Requirements:
Require Master’s degree or foreign equivalent degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a closely related field.
Require 2 years of experience in CMOS image sensor IC layout design.
Require the following experience or skills:
- Semiconductor process and device fundamentals, with expertise in addressing advanced technology nodes challenges.
- Experience in image sensor manufacturing technology, performance metrics, and system-level integration in camera applications.
- Experience with industry standard EDA tools, such as Cadence Virtuoso, PVS, Spectre, Innovus, Skipper, Siemens Calibre, Synopsys Hspice, Design Compiler, IC Compiler, PrimeTime, Laker and P2P.
- Front-end and back-end ASIC design flows.
- Experience in stacked chip process flow and related design considerations.
- Skills in interpreting physical verification reports (DRC,DFM, ERC, LVS, etc.) and understanding SVRF rule files.
- Advanced layout skills such as common-centroid layouts, symmetrical layouts, use of dummy devices, matching, ESD, latch-up, antenna effects, etc.
- Understanding of layout impact on device matching, noise coupling, guard-ring, electromigration, isolation and IR drop.
- Developing CAD flow automation using scripting languages like Perl, Skill, and Tcl.
- Expertise in low-power, high-precision, high speed analog layout design techniques.
- Solving crosstalk challenges between adjacent column ADCs in image sensor circuits.
