A Mask Layout Designer specializes in the layout of analog circuits, focusing on the arrangement of components within 14nm integrated circuits (ICs). Their role is critical in ensuring that the design functions correctly and meets performance specifications. Responsibilities include owning the circuit layout and collaborating with manufacturing, testing, and various engineering disciplines. The job requires a resourceful problem solver who can overcome technical obstacles and work independently.
Key Responsibilities:
Circuit Layout Design: Create, modify, and optimize layouts for analog integrated circuits, ensuring proper arrangement of components and routing of electrical connections.
Design Rule Checking: Perform design rule checks (DRC and LVS) to ensure compliance with fabrication specifications and standards.
Collaboration: Work closely with circuit design engineers to understand circuit functionality and requirements and incorporate feedback into layouts.
Tool Proficiency: Use CAD tools (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso) for layout design and verification
