Conduct New Product Qualifications

• Define High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) qualification requirements
• Comprehend failures and failure rate within the scope of the qualification
• Perform risk assessment at all decision points within the qualification cycle
• Review qualification data and sign off that qualification requirements have been met
• Issue internal product release notifications for Qualification

Develop Product Reliability Methodology, Monitors, Metrics, and Specifications

• Cooperatively develop and establish reliability targets and standards with technology development and product engineering teams
• Comprehend new wafer fab and packaging technologies to identify and mitigate product reliability issues
• Develop and improve product reliability tests to assess new HBM failure mechanisms
• Coordinate and drive vital specification improvements for existing products
• Review internal quality metric and drive customer DPM to BIC.

Establish and Implement Quality Requirements

• Establish and review ongoing product Quality Metrics
• Assess deviations for product quality and reliability risks
• Data mining and correlation of all inline test data. Root cause finding and drive CA/PA.
• Define evaluation necessary to mitigate risks
