Job description
Electronics Integration and Reliability (EILB) is a research group at Aalto University School of Electrical Engineering focused on exploring innovative materials and design concepts for advanced electronics. We are developing high-efficiency, sustainable semiconductor substrates and devices for power electronics, RF, and smart sensor applications. Our mission is to achieve transformative device innovations by leveraging high crystal quality and single crystal aluminum nitride (AlN) thin film-based technologies.We are seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher with strong expertise in the epitaxial growth and characterization of III-nitrides. In this role, you will contribute to various ongoing projects in the group, covering topics such as thermally conductive Silicon on Insulator (SOI), AlN polarization-doped field effect transistors, AlN on Si for single photon emitters and RF filters, and vertical wall-grown AlN for 3D-MEMS applications.Key Responsibilities:Grow high-quality III-nitride thin films using techniques such as metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE).Develop and optimize epitaxial processes to enhance crystal quality and performance.Conduct thermal, electrical, and microstructural characterization of grown samples to evaluate material and device properties.Collaborate with international partners and contribute to several EU-funded projects, gaining valuable exposure to European research in electronic components and systems.Requirements:Doctoral degree in a suitable area (e.g. electrical engineering, physics, or materials science)Hands-on experience and solid understanding of epitaxial processes, ideally in MOVPE or MBEA strong track record of research in III-V or III-Nitride semiconductorsExperience and solid understanding of relevant characterization methods, such as HRXRD, AFM, Photoluminescence (PL), SEM, and TEMExperience on probe-station based measurements for electrical characterization is a plusExperience in micro- and nanofabricationGood understanding of semiconductor device physics and WBG semiconductor devicesExperience in writing grant proposals and securing research funding is an advantageWe offer:Fixed-term position for 3 years (1+2)Opportunity to conduct independent research in OtaNano ( ) using cutting-edge infrastructure in Micronova and Nanomicroscopy CenterPossibility to participate in already funded public-private-partnership projects, network with major European industrial and academic project partners and contribute to new research funding applicationsPossibility to co-advice graduate students and participate in teachingThe starting salary for a postdoctoral researcher ranges from 4000-4200 €/month, depending on previous experienceThe contract includes Aalto University occupational healthcareThe appointment is available immediately.How to applyTo apply, please submit the documents indicated below using our online recruitment system (“Apply now!” link below, by January 6th, 2025.
