What the post involves
- Lead fabrication, characterisation and analysis of semiconductor laser diodes
- Set up experiments, review literature and evaluate product specifications
- Establish safe work processes and procure lab supplies
- Support proposals, publications, planning and reporting
Why this post matters
Semiconductor lasers power fibre networks, sensing and LiDAR, and building them requires rare cleanroom and photonics skills. Temasek Laboratories works on applied projects, so this post suits a hands-on photonics researcher who wants to lead fabrication work.
What NTU is looking for
- A Ph.D., or a master’s with 8+ years, in electrical and electronic engineering, materials engineering, applied physics or a related field
- Good writing skills for proposals, reports and papers
Nice to have
- Cleanroom experience: lithography, PECVD, metal deposition and rapid thermal annealing
- Optical mask design and BPM or FDTD simulation
- Laser diode fabrication and characterisation
