R&D Scientist / Engineer – Photonic Devices & Process Integration

Tätigkeitsprofil:

As a member of the Process Integration Group within IHP’s Technology Department, you will contribute to the research and development of advanced semiconductor technologies. You will work in an international team of highly motivated researchers, engineers, PhD candidates and technicians. Flat hierarchies, close collaboration and mutual support are important to us, and we value the diversity of perspectives and expertise within our team.

Your work will focus on the development and integration of photonic devices and technologies within advanced silicon-based technology platforms, in particular SiGe BiCMOS and photonic BiCMOS technologies. This includes the development and optimization of devices such as germanium photodetectors, as well as related process modules and their integration into complex semiconductor technology platforms. Your tasks will comprise device and process development, characterization, data analysis and the evaluation and optimization of semiconductor fabrication processes. The work will focus on extending the functionality of integrated photonic and SiGe BiCMOS technologies through novel devices and enabling applications beyond current technology capabilities.

Anforderungsprofil:

You hold a Master’s or PhD degree in electrical engineering, physics, materials science or a related field. You have a solid understanding of semiconductor device physics and ideally experience in the development of semiconductor or

photonic devices. Knowledge of silicon-based semiconductor technologies, SiGe BiCMOS, silicon photonics or germanium-based optoelectronic devices is particularly welcome. Practical experience with common semiconductor

cleanroom processes, such as lithography, etching, thin-film deposition, epitaxy, ion implantation or thermal processing, is an advantage.

You enjoy working in an interdisciplinary team and are able to organize your work independently and systematically. We are looking for a colleague with strong experimental, analytical and problem-solving skills, who is motivated to

develop a deep understanding of the interaction between device design, fabrication processes and device performance. Good communication skills and the ability to quickly become familiar with new experimental

equipment and software tools are important for this position. A confident command of English is required. Knowledge of German is welcome; further development of German language skills is encouraged and supported, for example through in-house language courses and intensive courses.
