Research
Opportunity (posted 7/13/2011): Highly qualified IC design candidates at both the
postgraduate (Ph.D.) and Postdoctoral levels are sought for new research
programs in mm-wave and optical communications IC design. In the first of these programs, sub-mm-wave
amplifiers at 220, 330, and 670 GHz will be developed using 1.2-THz-fmax
Indium Phosphide IC technologies, with target output power in the range of 1
W (220 GHz) to 50 mW (670 GHz). Design
strategies will likely include a combination of microstrip (on-wafer),
waveguide, and spatial (phased array) power combining. In the second of these
programs, ICs for single-channel and wavelength-multiplexed coherent optical
receivers operating at 100+ Gb/s will be developed. Topologies include
heterodyne receivers with electrical phase-locking and frequency synthesis of
the optical LO, and intradyne receivers incorporating asynchronous optical
LO's. |

Graduate Research
Positions in Device Physics and IC Design. The group recuits every year new Ph.D. students with interests in IC design, semiconductor devices, and materials growth. The normal application process to the department and the university should be followed; please mention in your application rodwell group if you have specific interest in working with us. Student applicants frequently also correspond with the group directly by email, although this is no substitute for a formal application for graduate admission to UCSB. If you do write, please keep your letter and your resume very short and very focused. I will be much more likely to be able to find time to respond thoughtfully to your letter if it addresses the specific project in the group which you seek to join, and if you can provide a reference from a well-known researcher or professor working in semiconductor devices or IC design.
