Electronics Integration and Reliability (EILB) is a research group at Aalto University School of Electrical Engineering studying advanced materials and bonding technologies to realize ubiquitous sensor/actuator and high-temperature capable power electronics systems. The future of all miniaturized, sustainable and energy-efficient smart systems containing sensors, MEMS actuators, silicon photonics, RF and power components, as well as SoCs is relying on wafer-level bonding technologies to integrate a broad range of technologies.
We are looking for a doctoral candidate to develop miniaturized smart systems using three-dimensional (3D) heterogeneous integration. Join us in developing beyond state-of-the-art technologies for semiconductor-based devices. The work will investigate and develop direct bonding for III-nitrides and III/V semiconductors for alternative silicon-on-insulator (SOI)-based devices. Specifically, you will be involved in the growth of high-quality thin films and process development activities utilizing metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE), among others. Additionally, there will be an emphasis on thermal, electrical, and microstructural characterization of the developed alternative SOI-based technologies. The work supports several EU-funded projects and offers a unique lookout into European electronic components and systems research.
Requirements:- M.Sc. or equivalent degree in a suitable area (e.g. electrical engineering, physics or materials science)
- good knowledge and understanding of MEMS and semiconductor technologies
- experience or genuine interest in micro- and nanofabrication
- theoretical understanding of relevant characterization methods
- strong analytical and writing skills
We offer:- fixed-term position for 4-year PhD studies
- opportunity to conduct independent research in a cutting-edge infrastructure of Micronova (www.micronova.fi)
- possibility of building international networks within large pan-European projects, in which the EILB team is a participant
- multidisciplinary course curriculum of Aalto University
- starting monthly salary of 2611,72 € with pay raises according to progress in studies and publications
- occupational health and social security benefits
The appointment is available immediately.
