GaN Power Electronics Device Engineer

Conteúdo do emprego

We are seeking GaN Power Electronics Device Engineer for the design and testing of power devices in GaN-on-Si technology.

What you will do

Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology offers faster switching power devices with higher breakdown voltages and lower on-resistance than silicon (Si). GaN power devices are a breakthrough technology, revolutionizing the power electronics landscape and have an exciting roadmap for next generation GaN power devices. Imec has developed 100V, 200V and 650V enhancement mode devices on 200mm GaN-on-Silicon wafers with state-of-the-art performance and reproducibility.

To strengthen our team, we are looking for a device engineer to support the design of discrete GaN power devices. This encompasses the design, layout, PDK, and physical understanding of the test results in order to optimize the device design and the technology.

Your tasks include:

• CAD based design and layout of the power devices.
• Install, customize and test PDKs, support parasitic extraction, support IC tapeout methodology.
• Analyze test data and work together with the process integration engineer to optimize the process flow and layout for improved performance and reliability of the power devices.
• Understand the device physics, band diagram and comprehensive operation of the power device under static and dynamic operation, in order to guide the optimization process.
• As you build up your competences and skills, we expect you to take up responsibilities as a project leader in one of our funded or bilateral projects, as a growth path for your career.

What we do for you

We offer you the opportunity to join one of the world’s premier research centers in nanotechnology at its headquarters in Leuven, Belgium. With your talent, passion and expertise, you’ll become part of a team that makes the impossible possible. Together, we shape the technology that will determine the society of tomorrow.
