KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm has grown to become one of Europe’s leading technical and engineering universities, as well as a key centre of intellectual talent and innovation. We are Sweden’s largest technical research and learning institution and home to students, researchers and faculty from around the world. Our research and education covers a wide area including natural sciences and all branches of engineering, as well as architecture, industrial management, urban planning, history and philosophy.
Third-cycle subject: Information and Communication Technology
The project aims for electronics-photonics integration, either by incorporating optically active III-V semiconductor-based components in a CMOS circuitry or by developing III-V/Si hybrid components whose function is based on the combination of the different material systems. The work is mainly experimental in character and will involve process development in a clean room environment, but it also electro-optical simulations for component design and optimization as well as materials and component analysis. The experimental work is carried out at the KTH Electrum Laboratory, a leading cleanroom facility for semiconductor development and nanotechnology. A suitable background is a master's degree in engineering physics, electrical engineering, nanotechnology or photonics. The project is funded by the Swedish Research Council.
Supervision: The doctoral student will be supervised by: Prof. Mattias Hammar (KTH), Doc. Per-Erik Hellström (KTH) and Adj. Prof. Qin Wang (KTH/RISE).
Front-line research in a high-tech and dynamic environment at the Electrum Laboratory with state-of-the-art facilities for semiconductor processing and nanotechnology.
