These positions are part of a cutting-edge research project focusing on advanced techniques for on-wafer characterization and modeling of Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) devices over a wide range of frequencies and temperatures.

Position Overview

The research project aims to advance the understanding of SOI devices using innovative techniques for high-frequency and temperature-dependent characterization and modeling. Successful candidates will contribute to the development of next-generation technologies by leveraging their expertise in semiconductor physics, RF engineering, and device characterization.

Eligibility Requirements

• Educational Background:
  • Master’s degree in Physics or Electrical Engineering is required.
  • Experience in semiconductor device analysis is essential.
• Skills and Expertise:
  • Knowledge of TCAD simulation software is a plus.
  • Familiarity with vector-network analyzer microwave analysis is desirable.
  • Experience in on-wafer measurements is advantageous.
  • Strong understanding of broadband high-frequency and analog device figures of merit is required.
  • Proficiency in English (minimum level B2).
• Soft Skills:
  • Excellent communication skills.
  • Ability to collaborate across functional teams (device, electrical characterization, reliability, layout).

Responsibilities

• Conduct experiments and develop innovative techniques for on-wafer characterization of SOI devices.
• Use simulation tools and high-frequency analysis to model device behavior.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to ensure the reliability and performance of SOI devices.

What We Offer

• Contract: Employment under a competitive salary with benefits.
• PhD Program Enrollment: Candidates will be registered in the doctoral program at UCLouvain.
• Funding: Additional resources for attending courses, workshops, and conferences.
