Operate MOCVD tools to grow compound semiconductor epitaxial thin films and characterize materials/devices.
Worth knowing
Why it is interesting. Hands-on MOCVD epitaxy of InP/GaAs for optoelectronic devices, with equipment ownership and characterization.
Might not be for you. Equipment maintenance and toxic gas handling are core duties; not a pure R&D or polymer role.
