BSV GaN epitaxial growth

What you will do

As a Researcher on Epitaxial growth, you will be responsible for MOCVD processes of III-N materials. Primarily, you are responsible for developing the processes that are required by imec’s programs or customers.

More specifically, you will:

- Define, organize, and validate process developments for the epitaxial growth of III-N materials and look for specific integration solutions.
- Identify process requirements and development opportunities,
- Timely execute process optimisation and development projects,
- Actively contribute to the research programs and joint development programs with external partners,
- Share and discuss your results at team and program meetings,
- Perform material and electrical characterizations of the grown layer stacks,
- A big part of your practical work will be in the cleanroom.
- Transfer the optimised processes our industrial partners (“tech transfers”) or to the engineering support and operational teams (“line releases”).
- This includes documenting the processes, giving classroom and field trainings, and supporting the industrial partners or engineering support during their initial ramp up phase.
Provide fundamental understanding on the physical and chemical processes that govern the growth dynamics of III-N materials on blanket Si substrates or patterned device wafers.
- Report about your work to industrial partners, on international conferences, publish key results in scientific journals and turn new ideas into IP.
- You will be coached on-the-job by a senior III-N MOCVD scientist.

What we do for you

We offer you the opportunity to join one of the world’s premier research centers in nanotechnology at its headquarters in Leuven, Belgium. With your talent, passion and expertise, you’ll become part of a team that makes the impossible possible. Together, we shape the technology that will determine the society of tomorrow.

We are committed to being an inclusive employer and proud of our open, multicultural, and informal working environment with ample possibilities to take initiative and show responsibility. We commit to supporting and guiding you in this process; not only with words but also with tangible actions. Through imec.academy, 'our corporate university', we actively invest in your development to further your technical and personal growth.

We are aware that your valuable contribution makes imec a top player in its field. Your energy and commitment are therefore appreciated by means of a market appropriate salary with many fringe benefits.

Who you are
- Desired Skills and Experience
- You have a PhD in Physics, Material Science or similar. Hands-on experience in epitaxial growth of III-V materials by MOCVD is a must, preferably of GaN based materials.
- You are an enthusiastic and creative team player with strong networking, communication and reporting skills who likes to work in a multicultural team of imec researchers, PhD students and industrial researchers and will have frequently interactions with clients.
- You have project management skills and a strong capability to work independently with a focus on quality for your deliverables.
- You are working autonomously, well-organized, with a good attention to details and you set high standards in everything you do.
- You are interested in working hands-on in a clean room environment.
- Given the international character of imec, good knowledge of (spoken and written) English is a must.
