At the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF we know our technologies like the back of our hand. Because we are one of the few scientific institutions worldwide to conduct research along the entire semiconductor value chain and on tailor-made synthetic diamonds. Whether high-frequency circuits for communications technology, voltage converter modules for electromobility, laser systems for measurement processes, or innovative hardware and software for quantum computers and quantum sensors: we develop tomorrow’s technology in-house for a sustainable and secure society.
We are looking for you as a scientist (all genders) for MOCVD epitaxy with a focus on gallium nitride
Contribute your expertise and look forward to exciting challenges where you can further develop innovative processes and work on groundbreaking research and development projects in a committed environment.
In the Epitaxy Department, we are working on strengthening European semiconductor manufacturing capacity as part of our pilot line. We work closely with the Research Fab Microelectronics Germany (FMD), thus making an important contribution to strengthening European competitiveness in the field of semiconductor technologies.
With our modern metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy (MOCVD) production facilities, we manufacture epitaxial wafers for microelectronic components based on the semiconductor material GaN for applications in radio-frequency technology and power electronics.
In collaboration with the Power Electronics business unit, you will acquire and manage national and international projects to strengthen the European semiconductor industry.
Completed university degree (Master's/Diploma) in physics, materials science, or microsystems engineering, or a similar degree, ideally with a doctorate
Experience in metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy (MOCVD), particularly in GaN electronics, as well as knowledge of materials science and the functionality of electronic semiconductor devices
Enjoy and enthusiasm in translating research results into applications
Experience in an industrial environment and in project acquisition and management
Business fluent English skills
Scientific university (Master’s) degree in Physics, Materials Science, Microsystems Engineering, or a related field; Experience in metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), particularly in GaN electronics, as well as knowledge of materials science and the functioning of electronic semiconductor devices
Experience in an industrial environment and / or in acquiring and managing projects are a plus
Business-level English proficiency
