Researcher in Graphene devices and MMICs

Information about the research
At the Microwave Electronics Laboratory, we focus on application driven research on high speed electronic components, circuits and systems for future communication and remote sensing applications.

The research spans frequencies from below 1 GHz to 500 GHz. We demonstrate innovative microwave components and circuits in our own fabrication lab, the Nanofabrication Laboratory at MC2, or at external cooperation partners/foundries. We characterize our components and circuits in our state-of the-art measurement laboratory. Our research are funded mainly by SSF, VR, and KAW, and Vinnova. Due to the high interest in high frequency components based on Graphene, we now open Researcher position for development of high frequency integrated circuits based on Graphene transistors. The position cover transistor fabrication, characterization, and development of MMIC-processes based on SiC semiinsulating substrates. We cooperate with various academic research groups.

Major responsibilities
To manage research projects in close cooperation with external partners from institues, industry and academy, and conduct own research on transistor and circuit design, modeling and characterization based on novel Graphene transistor processes, with focus on high frequency analog and mixed signal circuits.

Contract terms
Full-time temporary employment.

Qualifications
PhD in Applied Physics or Electrical Engineering and experience to manage research projects in close cooperation with external partners from academy or industry, and to conduct own research within the area of nanoelectronics with focus on device fabrication and characterization. Experience from cleanroom processing is mandatory
