What you will do You will work in a cross-functional team of about 20 people with whom you interact frequently. As part of a dynamic multidisciplinary and multicultural environment, you will interact with various researchers, process and hardware engineers, technicians, and device experts to drive imec’s research. As a development engineer, your key responsibility is the development and optimisation of epitaxial growth processes in the fields of Si/SiGe alloys or III-V compound semiconductors. More specifically, you will:
- Define, organize/execute, and validate epitaxial growth processes using vapour phase deposition in close collaboration with your colleagues and the integration or POET teams,
- Carry out structural, optical, and electrical characterization techniques on grown structures,
- Correlate your applied growth conditions with your characterization results to optimize and improve further deposition processes,
- Develop an in-depth understanding of the chemical and physical process as you evolve to an epitaxy specialist,
- Report and discuss your results at team and project meetings to actively contribute to the various research and development projects,
- Transfer the optimised processes to the fab engineering team (“line releases”).
- This includes documenting the processes and supporting the engineering team during their initial ramp up phase.
A significant part of your practical work will be in the laboratories and cleanrooms. You will be coached on-the-job by senior scientists or engineers.
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.
