Training

At first, we provide an intensive theoretical training in on-chip ESD protection in all important aspects such as strategy, layout and measurements.

This in-house training will take up to a week.

Project

Shortly thereafter, you will be included in the engineering team and assigned to the ongoing research and development projects within our company.

Assisted by experienced ESD engineers you get to know in a very “hands-on” way all aspects of the design and development of advanced ESD solutions for the most diverse processes and applications, ranging from High Voltage technologies for automotive ICs to 3nm FinFET for the SOC (System on Chip) of tomorrow.

Tasks

The specific task will therefore consist of analyzing and evaluating new patented circuits and devices designed to guarantee “system-safe” IC design for a specific application (depending on active projects during the internship).

During the internship, you will be able to rely not only on the necessary simulation software, but also on measurement results on real silicon samples.

For this we have specialized equipment available (lab in Aalter) which will enable you to perform or replicate all tests to which modern high-tech ICs are exposed.

Procedure

Based on your CV and motivation letter, you are invited to a conversation at our Aalter office and asked to give a brief presentation about a technical project in which you have been closely involved in recent years.

After this sole selection round, you will be informed whether you have been chosen for an internship at SOFICS.
