Technical Interview Focus Areas for Silicon Validation
Questions frequently encountered in technical screening rounds at top semiconductor MNCs:
Q1: What is first silicon bring-up?
The initial power-on phase of newly fabricated wafers in the lab: verifying power rails, clock generation, JTAG accessibility, and basic register read/writes.
Q2: How do you characterize a high-speed PCIe or DDR interface in lab?
By measuring eye diagram opening, jitter decomposition, bit error rate (BERT), and receiver sensitivity margins across PVT (process, voltage, temperature) corners.
