Analog Layout Engineer - FinFET Technology

Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Analog Layout Engineer with strong expertise in FinFET technology. The candidate will design and implement analog layouts for advanced nodes, ensuring compliance with design rules and optimizing for performance, reliability, and manufacturability.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop analog layouts for circuits such as amplifiers, references, bias blocks, and data converters in FinFET nodes.
• Apply best practices for DRC/LVS closure, including advanced tips and tricks for efficient debugging.
• Perform EM/IR analysis and implement layout changes to meet reliability targets.
• Address parasitic effects through careful routing, shielding, and post-extraction corrections.
• Implement matching techniques (common-centroid, interdigitation, dummy devices) for precision circuits.
• Collaborate with circuit designers to optimize layout for performance and yield.
• Ensure compliance with color-aware routing and multi-patterning constraints (SADP/SAQP).

Job Requirements

• Proven experience in FinFET layout design for analog IP.
• Strong knowledge of LDE effects (WPE, STI, LOD) and mitigation strategies.
• Proficiency in industry-standard EDA tools (Cadence Virtuoso, Calibre, PVS).
• Familiarity with parasitic extraction flows and correlation techniques.
• Understanding of reliability mechanisms (BTI, HCI) and guard-banding in layout.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with advanced-node design rules and color-aware layout.
• Knowledge of EM/IR verification methodologies and sign-off flows.
• Ability to automate layout tasks using SKILL or Python scripts.
