Phd On Inp Transistors for Future Wireless

Eindhoven, Nederland TU Eindhoven Voltijd

**Job description**:
**Background**:
Wireless communication penetrates nearly all aspects of our daily life. Whether we're streaming music while running, checking the latest news on our smartphones, or monitoring home security through IoT devices, wireless technology is there to provide connectivity with maximum mobility. Current 5G wireless utilizes a frequency band up to 71 GHz, and further scaling requires exploitation of even higher frequencies (e.g., beyond 200GHz). A new semiconductor technology for signal processing is thus demanded. One key challenge is to make good high-gain, low-noise amplifiers that operate in the 200-300 GHz frequency band.

**Research goal**:
The world’s best low-noise amplifiers are made with InP-based high electron mobility transistors (HEMT), due to the excellent electron transport properties of the lattice-matched InGaAs material. To operate at such high frequencies, accurate epitaxy control, extra fine sub-100 nm gate length, and aggressive dielectric thickness scaling are needed. Currently, these requirements impose challenges on the mass adoption of this technology, as usually EBL is needed. At TU/e, we aim to address the problem with state-of-the-art mass manufacturing technologies. The first step involves the essential steps toward high manufacturability, utilizing our in-house ASML DUV scanner. The second stage will be an exploration of a sustained scaling path, including MOS-HEMTs with high-k dielectrics and advanced device architecture. In this project, you will be at the very core of the development of a new revolutionary semiconductor technology for future wireless. The project involves the full value chain in high-frequency devices - from epitaxy to simulation, fabrication, and characterization.

**Job requirements**:

- For PhD, it is required a master’s degree MSc in Electrical Engineering, or (applied) Physics.
- Knowledge of semiconductor physics.
- Experience with nanofabrication is a plus.
- Experience with III-V technology is a plus.
- A can-do attitude.
- Ability to perform teamwork in an international environment.
- Skills in programming.
- A systematic approach to problem-solving and curiosity to understand things in-depth.

**Conditions of employment**:
A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station. In addition, we offer you:

- Full-time employment for four years, with an intermediate evaluation (go/no-go) after nine months. You will spend 10% of your employment on teaching tasks.
- Salary and benefits (such as a pension scheme, paid pregnancy and maternity leave, partially paid parental leave) in accordance with the _Collective Labour Agreement_ for Dutch Universities, scale P (min. €2,872 max. €3,670).
- A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
- High-quality training programs and other support to grow into a self-aware, autonomous scientific researcher. At TU/e we challenge you to take charge of your own learning process.
- An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care and sports facilities.
- An allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs.

**About us**

The Photonic Integration (PhI) group at TU/e has a long track record of setting pioneering results in indium phosphide (InP) based semiconductor technology. The group initially focused on InP photonics, but now also includes InP electronics, by leveraging the well-established and highly transferable semiconductor expertise. Our group consists of approximately 80 members, including 8 permanent faculty members, each specializing in a different technology vector. We are a key player in the field, as evidenced by our founding and coordinating role in the globally leading Joint European Platform for photonic integrated components and circuits JePPIX. We take a leading role in driving InP-based semiconductor technology towards the next level. A key enabler for our work is our state-of-the-art Nanolab cleanroom facility, which specializes in III-V materials processing.

Eindhoven University of Technology is an internationally top-ranking university in the Netherlands that combines scientific curiosity with a hands-on attitude. Our spirit of collaboration translates into an open culture and a top-five position in collaborating with advanced industries. Fundamental knowledge enables us to design solutions for the highly complex problems of today and tomorrow. Some impressions of our photonics research can be seen in this video.
