Postdoc in Semiconductor Devices, and circuit design
Sønderborg, Denmark
We [sdu.dk] are seeking an enthusiastic new colleague as a PostDoc in the field of Semiconductor Devices, and circuit design. As a postdoc in our team, you will have the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research and innovation in this rapidly evolving field with a strong collaboration with international industry partners.
The position is located in the section of Electrical Engineering in Sønderborg within the Centre for Industrial Electronics (CIE). The Centre has currently approximately 30 faculty members including senior (full and associate professors), junior (assistant professors and postdocs), PhDs, and support staff. The task portfolio of the PostDocs will be linked to one main project and several smaller projects within CIE. CIE is embedded in a powerhouse in electronics, which includes researchers and developers at universities and industries on both sides of the Danish-German border. CIE is a new initiative striving for high quality and great impact of its research, innovation, and education. Central to achieving this objective is access to state-of-the-art facilities and collaborations with industries. In the semiconductor research group in CIE, we are a member of European projects and already settled our international collaborations with the pioneer industry.
The positions aim to build strong knowledge and competencies within the field of semiconductor devices, especially in the fields of wide band gap semiconductor devices, circuit design, failure mechanisms, and simulations.
Job description
- Conduct research in the field of WBG semiconductors with a focus on GaN and SiC devices.
- Innovate design structures through simulation-based approaches calibrated by experimental data.
- Apply TCAD simulation and design tools, build demonstrators, and verify your simulation by experimental measurements.
- Familiar with the fabrication process to realize devices in the clean room and explore their potential applications.
- Experimental characterization of devices (static and dynamic) to analyze the device behavior.
- Stay updated with the latest advancements in WBG semiconductor devices and contribute to the development of innovative solutions.
- You will be involved in the daily supervision of PhD, Master, and Bachelor students who perform research on similar topics.
- You will publish and present your work both at international conferences and in scientific journals with high impact.
Profile and requirements
- Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Semiconductor Physics, or a related field.
- Strong background in theory and simulation of WBG semiconductor devices, device modeling, and circuit design.
- Hands-on experience in fabrication processes such as lithography, Mask design, etching, and deposition appreciated.
- Background in characterization techniques, failure mechanisms, and reliability tests.
- Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively in a research team.
- Strong communication skills to effectively present research findings and contribute to scientific discussions.
- Ability to publish in high-impact conferences and journals.
