Difficult interview

Application

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Maxim Integrated (San Jose, CA) in Jun 2012

Interview

The process begins with a phone interview with some general questions about semiconductor device physics. The next step is an on-site interview that consists of 3 consecutive, 30-45 minute, 1:1 interviews with the engineers. You'll be asked about various topics concerning BJT's and MOSFET's, in addition to a few questions about ideal op-amps.

Interview questions [5]

Question 1

How does temperature affect the conductivity of intrinsic silicon? How does a p-n junction work? How can I increase the switching speed of a transistor?

Answer question

Question 2

What is CMOS latchup?

Answer question

Question 3

Draw a non-inverting and inverting amplifier. Assuming the op-amp is ideal, derive the gain.

Answer question

Question 4

Draw the I-V characteristic for a BJT and a MOSFET. Explain the regions of operation and how the transistors work.

Answer question

Question 5

Draw the CMOS schematic for an inverter and a 2-input NAND gate. Draw the cross section of a CMOS 2-input NAND gate.
