The Central Fabrication Facility is seeking an experienced process engineer to work in the Compound Semiconductor/Nanosystems Fabrication laboratory. This laboratory fabricates VCSLs and other types of semiconductor lasers, LEDs for communications, and THz devices. It also serves the needs of internal and external research groups, and is contracted to ESA on several sub-millimetre wave and terahertz research activities.
The successful candidate will be principally responsible for an ICP plasma etcher running etch processes on a variety of IIIV compounds, dielectrics and polymers, and for developing new etch processes to satisfy the needs of internal and external research groups.
