Interview
This is a Coop/Intern position for the summer 2012. Got referred by my friend and submit the resume to the yield group. Have a phone interview next monday. I reviewed the semiconductor device fabrication and solid state device operation principal in the weekend. But the manager never asked these knowledge. It seemed they put more emphasis on the previous experience on the statistic analysis method and the software use such as C. And the manager let me to describe my thesis research topic and ask the experiment design principal.

Phone interview went on for 2 hrs. The manager was interested in my background and projects. Got an onsite interview call in 2 days. I had 6 rounds in the onsite interview, concentrating mainly on digital circuit design. Two of those rounds were implementation design, concentrating on RTL.
The questions were mostly from basics of circuit design. They tested timing, which is an important thing to prepare. FSM based design was tested.
