III-V Processing Intern

About the role#

The III-V semiconductor group is seeking an intern to support the development of large-area semiconductor processing and characterization. This role contributes to the DOE’s METALLIC initiative by helping the team meet specific research goals while providing the intern with hands-on experience in device processing and material analysis.

What you'll do#

• Assist in the processing and characterization of III-V semiconductor materials and devices, including solar cells.
• Implement cleanroom processing procedures for electronic devices, specifically lithography, metal deposition, and chemical etching.
• Perform characterization using techniques such as X-ray diffraction, microscopy, luminescence, and current-voltage probing to determine material and device quality.

What you'll need#

• Current enrollment as a full-time student in a bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD program in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Computer Engineering.
• A minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a federal Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card, which includes a favorable background investigation.
• Preferred: Prior experience with cleanroom processing, including lithography and chemical etching.
• Preferred: Experience in characterizing semiconductor materials and devices using techniques like X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, or luminescence.

Location & details#

• Location: Golden, Colorado.
• Modality: On-site.
• Schedule: Full-time (40 hours per week).
• Term: Rolling.
