Postdoctoral Researcher in the Optimisation of Ga₂O₃ Technology for the Production of High-Power Components and the Electrical Characterisation of GaN and Ga₂O₃ Components (M/F)

About the position

Postdoctoral Researcher in the Optimisation of Ga₂O₃ Technology for the Production of High-Power Components and the Electrical Characterisation of GaN and Ga₂O₃ Components (M/F)

Institution: CNRS

Research Field: Mathematics

Researcher Profile: Recognised Researcher (R2)

Application Deadline: 24 Sep 2026 - 23:59 (UTC)

Job Status: Full-time

Is the job funded through the EU Research Framework Programme?: Not funded by a EU programme

Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure?: No

- Literature review on lateral-conducting GaN components.

- Literature review on Ga₂O₃ component technology.

- Electrical characterisation, DLTS, Raman, OBIC.

- Optimisation of the finite-element simulation of the diode.

The objective of this position is to develop the first Ga203 power device based on a heterojunction, enabling its electrical, physical, and optical characterization in order to determine the optimal parameters for finite element simulation of Ga203 devices and to identify and quantify defects in the material.

In addition, the candidate will be trained in the electrical characterization of GaN devices.

It possesses the physical properties necessary for manufacturing high-voltage, high-current components for applications such as smart grids.

The INL has been working for several years on the physical characterization of this material.

Today, the quality of this material allows us to envision the manufacture of power components.

Combining the expertise acquired on Ga203 at INL, INL's cleanroom, and AMPERE's expertise in power components makes it possible to propose this original thesis topic in France.

In Europe, the United States, and Japan, research projects are underway on the development of power components.

The technology is more mature than that of Ga₂O₃.

Today, transistor-type components are available on the market.

All developments are focused on lateral-conduction components.

The PEPR VERTIGO project, on the other hand, proposes an alternative using GaN components but with vertical conduction.

By joining the AMPERE laboratory, you will become part of a research unit spread across four sites and recognized for its expertise in engineering and technology.

Its work focuses in particular on the management and sustainable use of energy within systems that interact with their environment.

The AMPERE laboratory brings together nearly 210 members—including researchers, faculty members, engineers, technicians, and doctoral students—who are dedicated to ambitious research projects and cutting-edge innovations.
