Device Modeling Engineer
What you will do
Gallium Nitride (GaN) power technology offers significant advantages over traditional silicon-based power devices. GaN technology provides higher efficiency, faster switching speeds, and the ability to operate at higher temperatures and voltages. This results in smaller, lighter, and more energy-efficient power systems. GaN devices are used in a variety of applications, including power supplies, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems. They are particularly beneficial in high-voltage and high-power applications due to their low on-resistance and reduced system parasitic inductance.
GaN power devices are an innovative technology, transforming the power electronics field and have a promising future towards more advanced power electronics. Imec has created 100V and 650V enhancement mode devices on 200mm GaN-on-Silicon wafers with excellent performance and reliability. We also investigate next generation GaN technology with a higher degree of integration (GaN-IC) and higher performances. Imec has been leading GaN technology for more than 15 years. We use 200mm wafers to produce GaN power devices at lower costs while keeping world-class performance. Our research covers GaN epitaxy as well as device engineering, processing technology and reliability.
In this endeavor, we are seeking an enthusiastic semiconductor device modelling engineer who can model GaN power transistors, create models based on measurement data, defining test structures and measurements needed to provide data to validate and calibrate models.
Your tasks include:
1. Set-up experiments for device characterization and model extraction
2. Development, generation, and parameter extraction of GaN device compact models
3. Analyze test data and work togetherwith the process integration engineers to optimize the fabrication flowwith the device engineers to improve the layout
4. Participate in roadmap discussions and lead projects
