Are you interested in\u00a0developing\u00a0the fabrication of\u00a0photonic integrated circuits\u00a0and looking for a new job opportunity in the field?\u202fWould you like to develop innovative technology with superb colleagues who are top experts in their field? Do you want\u00a0to\u00a0work at the interface of academy and industry\u00a0using\u00a0state-of-the-art\u00a0research facilities? VTT might be just the place for you.\u202f<\/em><\/p>\n

VTT is one of the leading applied research organisations in Europe. What unites us are curiosity, a passion for learning and a purpose: to solve the biggest challenges of our time\u202fand turn them into sustainable growth and well-being. Our cross-disciplinary community of over 2300 brilliant minds\u00a0is\u00a0focused on creating impact through science-based innovation.\u00a0Get to know us further by exploring\u00a0VTT’s tech & infra.<\/p>\n

We are\u00a0now\u00a0looking for\u00a0a Wafer Process Integrator to join our\u00a0Silicon photonics\u00a0team.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a Wafer Process Integrator , you\u00a0will\u00a0develop\u00a0fabrication technology for\u00a0photonic integrated\u00a0circuits (PICs)\u00a0in close collaboration with our PIC\u00a0designers,\u00a0cleanroom\u00a0operators\u00a0and process engineers.\u00a0Operators\u00a0do most of the actual wafer processing in our cleanroom\u00a0according to the\u00a0processing instructions made by you.\u00a0You will supervise the wafer processing and\u00a0monitor\u00a0the quality of the\u00a0fabrication by\u00a0various wafer-level inspections\u00a0(microscopy, ellipsometry etc.)\u00a0inside the cleanroom.\u00a0You will also\u00a0do some hands-on process development in\u00a0critical process steps\u00a0together with the process engineers, until the processes are mature enough to be given to our operators.\u00a0Depending on your own skills\u00a0and preferences,\u00a0you may also get involved in\u00a0the design and testing of the PICs, but your\u00a0main focus\u00a0will be on the fabrication of the PICs in our cleanroom.\u00a0Process simulation\u00a0and some simulation for\u00a0active semiconductor components, such as Ge photodiodes,\u00a0will be part of your work.<\/p>\n

Our\u00a0in-house\u00a0PIC technology\u00a0includes\u00a0the\u00a0design, fabrication,\u00a0assembly, packaging and\u00a0testing of\u00a0components,\u00a0circuits\u00a0and systems that are based on optical waveguides integrated on\u00a0small silicon chips.\u00a0All these\u00a0development steps can be done at VTT, including\u00a0200 mm wafer processing\u00a0in our\u00a0Micronova\u00a0cleanroom facility in Espoo,\u00a0although we also collaborate with many other organizations to\u00a0do\u00a0these tasks.\u00a0Our\u00a0Silicon Photonics\u00a0team\u00a0is one of the global pioneers in the development of\u00a0PIC technology.\u00a0We\u00a0mainly focus\u00a0on\u00a0PICs\u00a0that are based on silicon-on-insulator\u00a0(SOI)\u00a0or silicon nitride\u00a0waveguides,\u00a0while\u00a0we\u00a0often hybrid\u00a0integrate\u00a0these with\u00a0other materials\u00a0and PIC technologies, such as\u00a0germanium, lithium niobate,\u00a0graphene\u00a0and\u00a0III-V compound semiconductors.\u00a0Your\u00a0role in the team will\u00a0mainly focus\u00a0on\u00a0the develop of\u00a0SiN\u00a0waveguides and Ge photodiodes,\u00a0at least in the beginning.\u00a0Our\u00a03 \u00b5m thick SOI\u00a0waveguides allow to make\u00a0low-loss\u00a0PICs for an extremely wide range of infrared\u00a0wavelengths (1.2 –\u00a04\u00a0\u00b5m), while the\u00a0SiN\u00a0waveguides\u00a0extend the\u00a0feasible\u00a0wavelength range to visible wavelengths\u00a0and support the development of\u00a0multiple quantum computing technologies.\u00a0We believe that PIC technology plays a key role in solving many global challenges\u00a0(climate change,\u00a0healthcare,\u00a0power-efficient digitalization\u00a0etc.),\u00a0while also offering good business opportunities.<\/p>\n
