Job Description

Do you want to be a key player in the research of process technology for power devices which have the potential to revolutionize efficient use of electrical energy and which will enable Infineon to stay in the pole position in this rapidly growing market?

Do you want to contribute to a sustainable future by generating leading edge know-how and bring Infineon’s wide bandgap strategy to success?

And do you want to perform your PhD work in an expanding world-class development team with global footprint?

Then we would like to encourage you to apply for this challenging PhD position which will allow you to bring in your technical excellence and to rapidly further grow your expertise in novel semiconductor technology development and associated manufacturing.

The aims of this PhD thesis are:

• Elaborate an analysis concept for surface investigations regarding stoichiometry, oxidation state, roughness, surface termination, and contamination levels of GaN surfaces
• Investigate the fundamental mechanisms of particle removal and surface conditioning in wet chemical cleaning processes on GaN materials considering the different GaN surfaces
• Identify similarities and differences to Si and SiC cleaning and surface conditioning mechanisms
• Establish understanding on surface state prior to MOCVD growth
• Explore and understand the impact of wet chemical cleaning processes on electrical device parameters
• Finally the PhD shall propose, based on generated understanding, optimized cleaning and surface conditioning processes.

Start: 01.08.2019 (or later)
Full-time employment: 38.5 hrs/week

Profile:

You are best equipped for this task if you have: 

• A master degree in chemistry, technical chemistry, physics, materials science, semiconductor process technology or equivalent with excellent grades
• A dynamic personality with strong interest in applying scientific methodology to enable pioneering progress in industrial development and manufacturing processes
• A team player mindset with the capability to work interdependently in a high-tech environment together with world-class experts
• Systematic working style and desire to generate unprecedented know-how at highest technical level.
