About the role
This role involves the design, development, and optimization of high voltage LNDMOS power semiconductor devices, focusing on advancing LNDMOS technology for reliable, efficient, and high-performance solutions. The work centers on developing device and process technologies addressing voltages of 7 – 100 V with either junction or deep trench isolation.
What you'll do
- Lead the design of high voltage LNDMOS devices, considering breakdown voltage, on-resistance, charge balance, and ruggedness.
- Utilize CAD and TCAD simulation tools to model electrical, thermal, and reliability characteristics.
- Collaborate with process engineers to define and refine process flows for LNDMOS device fabrication.
- Plan and conduct electrical, thermal, and reliability characterization of fabricated devices, specifically device isolation.
- Research and implement new architectures, materials, and device structures (e.g., trench, RESURF, shielded gate).
- Produce detailed technical documentation, including design specifications, simulation reports, and characterization results.
What you'll need
- Master’s or Doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related field with a focus on semiconductor devices or microelectronics.
- 5-10 years of direct experience in power semiconductor device engineering, with emphasis on high voltage LNDMOS or LDMOS design and fabrication.
- Experience designing devices with operating voltages above 30V and possibly as high as 120V.
- Proficiency in device and process simulation tools (e.g., Synopsys Sentaurus, Silvaco Atlas).
- Strong understanding of semiconductor physics, high voltage breakdown mechanisms, device isolation, and reliability phenomena.
- Hands-on experience with wafer fabrication, cleanroom protocols, and device characterization equipment.
Nice to have
- Experience with other power devices (IGBT, SiC/GaN MOSFETs).
- Publications or patents in power devices or LNDMOS technology.
- Proven track record of leading device development projects from concept to mass production.
- Familiarity with automotive, industrial, or renewable energy power electronics applications.
- Experience engaging with customers and stakeholders to translate application needs into device requirements.
