What do you like about your job and the company?
Considered the most expensive machine in the world, lithography equipment is full of new discoveries and excitement every day. I get pleasure in gaining experience not only in optics, but also in statistics, chemistry, metrology, and many other areas!
Greatest achievements
Not only me, but my fab as a whole has achieved very high yields on new DRAM products in a very short period of time. I was involved in the product launch team, mainly in the photolithography department. I actually improved the yield by a few tenths of a percent through better overlay accuracy and defect improvement.

For new graduates many fields of engineering are new concepts. For example Design for test can never be conceived in a graduates mind. Before joining design for test my thinking was restricted to only traditional design. This is in all accounts great to be a designer that you concentrate on the deeper circuit concepts. However unlike design limited to only a few circuits where one becomes a professional, in Design for test you get to experience how the whole design comes together. This gives a design for test engineer an edge in understanding design implications to things like yield, testability cost. Especially the cost of testing is the back-bone of production in pursuit of quality and affordability. But DFT sits at the sweet spot that enables an engineer to enjoy the best of both worlds of actual design and production. As an entrant, one would be looking for those positions where they can learn the most from to build their career. And DFT can be one of those positions.

When starting your career in an industry, the first few months involve a steep learning curve. Your primary focus should be to grasp knowledge as much as possible. Apart from this, you should maintain proper notes of all the tools and software, which will help you to work independently in the future. Try to involve yourself with new projects to get the experience of the current flow in the industry. Be professional and confident will help you to set you as a valuable person in your team. In some situations, you may have to make tough decisions, so be ready for that.
