Offer Description
- work environment: The Institut d’Electronique et des Systèmes (IES) is a joint research unit from U. Montpellier and CNRS. The nanoMIR research group (https://nanomir.edu.umontpellier.fr/ ) is a world leader in GaSb-based mid-infrared (MIR) optoelectronic devices. The group specializes in the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth of III-V semiconductors and operates 3 reactors, inc. a multichamber reactor equipped with 2 III-V growth chambers and 1 CVD chamber for growing group-IV (Si, Ge) materials. The group fabricates the devices in the clean room of the Centre de Technologie de Montpellier (https://ctm.umontpellier.fr/ ) and runs its own electro-optic characterization setups. The group’s projects are supported by national (ANR) and European (Horizon Europe) funds.
- main mission: In the framework of France 2030’s HYBAT project, the nanoMIR group focuses part of its activities in developing Silicon photonics integrated circuits (PICs), where lasers and photodetectors are integrated with passive devices based on other technologies (Si, Ge, chalcogenides, ..). The postdoc staff will join the “Integration” team of the group. He/she will be in charge of developing the remote-plasma chemical vapor deposition (RP-CVD) of group-IV materials (Si(Ge)) on Si, the MBE growth of GaSb devices on these Si(Ge) templates and PIC fabrication.
Activities :RP-CVD epitaxy of group-IV materials, III-V heterostructure design, PIC design, MBE growth of III-V devices, PIC fabrication, material characterization, PIC characterization.
