Research Engineer II - Heterogeneous Photonics Fabrication

Nanyang Technological University; Singapore; On-site; SGD 60,000 - 90,000; Full time

Job summary

Nanyang Technological University (NTU) invites applications for a Research Engineer II in Semiconductor Fabrication (Heterogeneous Integrated Photonics) at the National Centre for Advanced Integrated Photonics (NCAIP) on NTU's Main Campus, Singapore. The role focuses on end-to-end fabrication of integrated photonic devices, process modules like e-beam, DUV, i-line lithography, and advanced packaging.

We seek candidates with a MSc/MEng in relevant fields and at least 2 years of hands-on cleanroom

Qualifications

• Master's degree in a relevant field.
• At least 2 years hands-on cleanroom and micro-/nano-fabrication experience with semiconductor, photonic or optoelectronic devices.
• Experience with lithography and dry etching (e-beam/DUV/i-line, ICP-RIE/RIE) including CD control, and with thin-film deposition and metallization (PECVD/LPCVD, sputtering, ALD, e-beam evaporation, lift-off, annealing).
• Experience with optical/electrical device characterization and metrology (SEM, AFM, ellipsometry/ reflectometry, profilometry) and yield/failure analysis.
• Proficient in MATLAB and/or Python with strong collaboration and communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Fabricate integrated photonic devices end-to-end in a shared cleanroom across projects, including wet cleaning, wafer dicing and facet preparation.
• Run core process modules: e-beam/DUV/i-line lithography and ICP-RIE/RIE etch; PECVD/LPCVD, sputtering, ALD and deposition, lift-off and metallization.
• Perform heterogeneous integration and bonding (plasma-activated/adhesive/eutectic wafer-die bonding, thinning/CMP, advanced packaging).
