IHP is an institute of the Leibniz Association and conducts research and development of silicon-based systems and ultra high-frequency circuits and technologies including new materials. It develops innovative solutions for application areas such as wireless and broadband communication, security, medical technology, industry 4.0,
automotive industry, and aerospace. IHP employs approximately 400 people. It operates a pilot line for technological developments and the preparation of high-speed circuits with 0.13/0.25 µm-SiGe-BiCMOS technologies, located in a 1500 m² cleanroom that meets the highest industrial nanotechnology requirements.
The position:
The successful candidate will work as a Research Associate in the field of group-IV epitaxy. The role involves the development of new, highly robust and precisely controlled selective and non-selective Si, SiGe, and Ge epitaxy processes, including in-situ doping and strain engineering.
A key responsibility is the high-level evaluation and characterization of material and electrical properties of epitaxial layers. As part of the process research team, the candidate will focus primarily on fundamental research in group-IV epitaxy processes. This research is closely linked to device applications, particularly for SiGe:C BiCMOS and photonics device integration, as well as for future emerging technologies such as qubit
devices. The position also includes responsibility for maintaining the stability and reproducibility of epitaxy processes within the IHP pilot line. In addition, the Research Associate will actively participate in national and international research projects and contribute to scientific conferences through presentations and publications.
Your qualifications:
* Ph.D. degree in the field of physics, semiconductor engineering, material science
* Experiences and good knowledge in the field of group-IV epitaxy process technology. Experiences atomic-layer deposition processes will be an advantage
* Capability of logical thinking for constructing experiments for the group-IV epitaxy process development
* Experiences of material diagnostics like AFM, spectroscopic ellipsometry are needed. Knowledge of heterointerfaces and optical/electrical diagnostics such as CV, PL, DLTS and related background will be helpful
* Highly motivated with very good experimental and theoretical skills
* Experiences in cleanroom operation
* Very good English language skills. Basic German skills are an advantage. Deepening German language skills is expected and encouraged, for example, in in-house courses
