Job description

We are offering an internship for motivated students interested in advanced semiconductor device engineering. The project focuses on innovative GaN-on-Silicon HEMTs for RF applications, with an emphasis on high-frequency performance and noise behavior. 

The work will combine hands-on experimental measurements in the lab (S-parameters, noise characterization, large-signal RF analysis) with TCAD simulations to better understand device physics and performance trade-offs. By bridging experiments on state of the art equipment  and advanced modeling, the candidate will contribute to the development of next-generation GaN-on-Silicon RF devices.

This internship provides the opportunity to acquire expertise in RF characterization techniques, noise modeling, and advanced TCAD tools. The student will join a multidisciplinary team and work in close collaboration with more experienced researchers.

Applicant Profile

With a background in microelectronics and/or radiofrequency, you feel confortable and enjoy your time performing delicate characterizations of new devices using the best equipment money can buy. You have strong adaptability and communication skills and you love presenting your results and dicuss with students and supervisors about how to model and interpret your measurements
