Project Overview
Wafer-Scale Integrated Sensing Devices based on Optoelectronic Metasurfaces (WISDOM) focuses on semiconductor wafer growth and processing for photonic applications.
This program aims to pioneer a wafer-scale integrated platform which seamlessly combines metasurface optics, optoelectronic devices with a focus on light emitting diodes (LEDs) and vertical surface emitting laser arrays (VCSELs), and silicon complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) electronics.
Researchers from MIT, NUS, NTU, A*STAR, Stanford University and University of Illinois form a uniquely qualified interdisciplinary team possessing the skills and infrastructure needed to perform the proposed research. WISDOM program will also involve a strong network of industry partners which are committed to development and translation of the WISDOM technology, thereby enabling outcomes from the program to make a direct impact on industrial applications.
Responsibilities
The WISDOM IRG at SMART is seeking a qualified candidate for a Postdoctoral Associate position. This position will entail the following technical responsibilities:
1. Assist in III-V on Si epitaxial growth by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition.
2. Perform cleanroom processing tasks including (but not limited to): deposition of dielectric thin films on wafers, lithography, dry etching, III-V oxidation, metallization, wafer bonding, thermal processing of wafers, wafer cleaning with wet chemistry.
2. Carry out characterization of wafers, including: microscope inspection, wafer bow measurement and working with external measurement service provider.
3. Support upkeep and maintenance of tools.
4. Perform other research duties as requested.
Requirements
1. PhD Degree in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Electronic/Electrical Engineering, or any related discipline.
2. 2-3 years’ prior experience in the semiconductor area (e.g. working in cleanrooms, handling semiconductor wafers/components etc.) is helpful, and experience operating cleanroom tools is preferred. Prior experience with CVD or MBE or other epitaxial thin film deposition systems is not a requirement but highly encouraged.
3. The candidate needs to work well in a team, and with other lab/cleanroom users
Interested applicants are invited to send in their full CV/resume, cover letter and list of three references (to include reference names and contact information). We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
