This is an 18-month position with extension contingent on funding and performance. The research associate will work on a project related to radiation-hardened microelectronic chips for space communications. In particular, we seek a candidate with cleanroom fabrication expertise for semiconductor applications. The research associate will have the following responsibilities: Responsibilities: * Uphold lab upkeep and maintenance standards to ensure a safe and efficient research environment and management of ongoing projects * Advancing cleanroom microfabrication processes regarding semiconductor membrane fabrication and micro-transfer printing * Manuscript writing for peer-reviewed publications * Supervision of undergraduate students, and interns * Technical report writing of engineering projects * Ensure project and lab compliance with environmental, safety, health, and quality program (ISO9001) requirements * Other duties as assigned Radiation-Hardened Phased Array Technology For 6G Non-Terrestrial Networks The use of higher performance phased arrays to support future 5G and 6G mobile network technology standards is a growing trend in the space-based communications market. This shift involves replacing vacuum tube amplifiers with microelectronic chip amplifiers that outperform the current systems, but adapting them for the harsh environment of space presents challenges. This project addresses two significant barriers: thermal management and radiation tolerance. A buildup of heat can affect the transistors' tolerance to high-energy particles from the sun and other cosmic bodies, making them more susceptible to single event effects (SEE) that disrupt space communications or even end multi-billion-dollar space missions. However, incorporating a diamond layer beneath a transistor body could help dissipate heat and effectively trap radiation-induced charges, protecting the sensitive transistors. The project aims to refine the processing and polishing of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) membranes to create suitable surfaces for interfacing with thinned gallium nitride (GaN) transistors, develop amplifier circuits by integrating these transistors with other electrical components to efficiently amplify radio frequency (RF) signals, and assess the radiation performance of the devices by testing their sensitivity to radiation exposure. It leverages recent advances in PCD membranes by MSU and Fraunhofer USA, as well as the new SEE space electronics testing facility being built on campus. These advances will position the University as a leader in advanced space communication technologies.
