  • Develop deep understanding of temperature-dependent material properties including:
    • Superconducting transitions
    • Electrical resistivity and RF loss
    • Thermal transport behavior
    • Mechanical stress/CTE mismatch
  • Define and utilize characterization methods (electrical, thermal, structural) to evaluate materials performance.
  • Correlate material behavior with device- and system-level performance impacts.
  • Identify and analyze failure mechanisms, including:
    • Delamination and interface failure
    • Diffusion / intermetallic formation
    • Stress-induced cracking during thermal cycling
  • Develop material solutions and process mitigations to enhance reliability.
  • Drive long-term reliability strategies for cryogenic operation.
  • Develop materials solutions that:
    • Improve yield and process robustness
    • Reduce cycle time and cost
  • Partner with integration teams to ensure scalable and manufacturable material choices.
  • Work directly with material suppliers and equipment vendors to:
    • Evaluate new materials (e.g., superconducting films, hybrid materials)
    • Define material specifications and qualifications
  • Collaborate with OSATs and partners to enable wafer-level and die-level integration flows.
  • Interface across:
    • Interconnect / bump / TSV / assembly integration teams
