Key Responsibilities

  • We are seeking a talented and passionate Scientist/Senior Scientist to join our silicon carbide (SiC) crystal growth team.
  • The successful candidate will play a crucial role in developing crystal growth technologies for semi-insulating SiC wafer production, which are used as substrates for RF and millimeter-wave GaN devices.
  • This position is within the National Semiconductor Translation and Innovation Centre (NSTIC) – GaN program.
  • Lead and manage SiC crystal growth-related projects, including planning, execution, and reporting.
  • Develop and optimize crystal growth technologies for semi-insulating silicon carbide (SiC) wafers used as substrates for RF and millimeter-wave GaN devices.
  • Design, execute, and analyze SiC crystal growth experiments using physical vapor transport (PVT) and related growth techniques.

Requirements

  • PhD in Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline.
  • 3 - 5 years of hands-on experience in silicon carbide (SiC) crystal growth using the Physical Vapor Transport (PVT) method.
  • Experience with chamber-scale simulations for Physical Vapor Transport (PVT) processes.
  • Strong background in SiC materials science and characterization of SiC wafers.
  • Excellent communication skills, strong industry awareness, and proven problem-solving abilities.
  • Highly motivated self-starter with the ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
