- Expert-level understanding of the outputs and figures of merit for lasers and other III-V device
- Optical and electrical characterization experience of III-V devices (lasers, amplifiers, modulators, transistors)
Job Requirements
- Have a PhD in semiconductor optics or a related field and/or at least 5 years of experience in a similar role at another company
- Practical knowledge of III-V epitaxial reactor growth concerns (MOCVD or MBE)
- In-depth knowledge and experience with developing III-V semiconductor processing steps and integration
- Expert-level understanding of the outputs and figures of merit for lasers and other III-V devices
- Optical and electrical characterization experience of III-V devices (lasers, amplifiers, modulators, transistors)
- Experience with troubleshooting and improving yield for such devices in a manufacturing environment
- Hands-on experience with heterogeneous integration of III-V devices with silicon devices (photonics, BiCMOS, power)
- Basic understanding of primary reliability failure modes for III-V devices (especially lasers)
- Experience in a volume foundry manufacturing environment
Compensation:
$160,000 - $220,000
