CLAWS III-N Power Integration Engineer at North Carolina State University at Raleigh, Raleigh, NC
We are seeking a highly skilled Wide-Bandgap Power Device Engineer to join our team and contribute to the development of next-generation power semiconductor devices. The ideal candidate will have expertise in semiconductor process integration, power device design (diodes, FETs, etc.), electrical characterization, and device simulation to drive innovation in high-efficiency, high-performance wide-bandgap power solutions.

Key Responsibilities
  • Power Device Design & Development (30%)
    • Design and optimize GaN power devices (HEMTs, Diodes, lateral/vertical FETs) for high-voltage and high-frequency applications.
    • Utilize TCAD simulation (e.g., Synopsys, Silvaco, etc.) for process and device modeling, electrical characteristics prediction, and performance enhancement.
    • Develop and refine device layouts for wafer fabrication, ensuring manufacturability and reliability.
  • Process Integration & Fabrication (30%)
    • Work to define and optimize GaN-on GaN, GaN-on-Si, GaN-on-SiC, and other heteroepitaxial structures for power applications.
    • Lead the wafer process flow development, including epi structures, etching, metallization, and passivation steps.
    • Troubleshoot process integration challenges related to defectivity, yield, and reliability.
  • Electrical Characterization & Reliability Testing (20%)
    • Define and execute device characterization plans (IV, CV, breakdown, leakage, switching performance).
    • Analyze reliability metrics such as TDDB, HTRB, HTOL, and step-stress testing to assess long-term device stability.
    • Interface with packaging and application engineers to optimize thermal management and electrical performance in real-world applications.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration (20%)
    • Work with process engineers and R&D partners to drive technology improvements.
    • Collaborate with circuit designers, applications engineers, and product development teams to translate device-level improvements into system-level advantages.
    • Stay up to date with emerging GaN technology trends, competitive landscape, and industry benchmarks.
