Established in 1987 and headquartered in Taiwan, TSMC pioneered the pure-play foundry business model with an exclusive focus on manufacturing its customers’ products. In 2023, the company served 528 customers with 11,895 products for high performance computing, smartphones, IoT, automotive, and consumer electronics, and is the world’s largest provider of logic ICs with annual capacity of 16 million 12-inch equivalent wafers. TSMC operates fabs in Taiwan as well as manufacturing subsidiaries in Washington State, Japan and China, and its ESMC subsidiary plans to begin construction on a fab in Germany in 2024. In Arizona, TSMC is building three fabs, with the first starting 4nm production in 2025, the second by 2028, and the third by the end of the decade.

RD Integration starts with the definitions, including transistor architecture and design building blocks, of a new technology node. Then, a manufacturable process flow is developed for evaluations and further improvements. The tasks may involve multidiscipline technical knowledge bases and project management skills. The job will require a lot of collaborations, so frequent communication should be expected. Test structure are designed in order to evaluate the manufacturing processes. Test vehicles will be built, and real chips will be validated through yield, performance, and reliability learning cycles. The goal is to deliver an optimized semiconductor technology that will meet the required chip performance, power, area-per-function, costs, and time-to-market (PPACt) for our customers.
Job Responsibilities
1. Develop scientific computing software for multi-physics simulations and explore applications in semiconductor technology.
2. Engage with cross-function teams for process development to meet the target product requirements.
Job Qualifications
1. Master’s degree or above with industry experience preferred.
2. Proficiency in C/C++ programming and Python scripting languages is required.
3. Basic knowledge of numerical algorithms (e.g. solving partial differential equations, PDEs) is required.
4. Knowledge of computational geometry, high performance computing (e.g. MPI, OMP, CUDA) is preferred.
5. Knowledge in one of more of following areas: solid mechanics, fluid dynamics, semiconductor process and fabrication is preferred.
6. Aware of software development cycles and planning. Capable of prioritizing projects based on their urgency.
7. Collaborative and innovative, proactively explore new ideas and adapt quickly to change.
8. Good English written and verbal communication skills.
