Offer Description
The Integrated Optical Systems (IOS) group is looking for a motivated post-doc to help us setup and develop a 200 mm pilot microfabrication line for photonic integrated circuits (PICs) in the aluminium oxide platform. The IOS group is a world leader in the development of this photonic platform, which is currently being manufactured in the 100 mm MESA+ Nanolab microfabrication facility. Within the PIXEurope consortium, the process will be transferred to 200 mm manufacturing and a process design kit (PDK) of building blocks will be developed in the platform. You get a unique opportunity to help position Europe as a leader in integrated photonics.
