Job's mission

We are seeking a highly motivated Engineering Intern to support early‑ stage research and evaluation of Complementary FET (cFET) technology, an emerging advanced logic device architecture.

This internship focuses on technology surveying, literature analysis, and knowledge synthesis The intern will conduct a structured review of academic and publicly available industry research to develop a clear, well‑ organized overview of the current cFET development landscape. The results will support technical discussions and future exploratory R&D work.

This role is ideal for PhD students with a strong background in semiconductor devices, process integration, or related research fields who are interested in advanced logic technology beyond the state of the art.

What You Will Do

• Conduct a systematic review of cFET‑ related information from:
• Academic journals and conference proceedings
• Patents and publicly available industry sources
• Organize and synthesize fragmented information into a structured technical knowledge base
• Identify key technology trends, including:
• Device concepts and material approaches
• Integration strategies and reported demonstrations
• Performance targets and scalability considerations
• Analyze and summarize major technical challenges and development bottlenecks identified in the literature
• Perform a high‑ level scan of early industry and ecosystem signals, such as patents or collaborations
• Prepare clear documentation and presentations that distinguish evidence‑ based insights from areas of uncertainty

Deliverables

• A consolidated and well‑ structured technology review report on cFETs
• Structured summaries of technical trends and key challenges
• Presentation materials suitable for technical discussions and evaluations

What You Will Gain

• Hands‑ on experience evaluating an early‑ stage, next‑ generation semiconductor technology
• Exposure to how advanced device concepts are assessed prior to major R&D investment
• Opportunity to develop strong skills in technical analysis, literature review, and technology scouting
• Experience working closely with senior engineers and researchers in advanced technology development

What we are looking for

• Currently pursuing a PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Semiconductor Engineering, or a related field
• Fundamental understanding of semiconductor devices and/or process integration
• Strong ability to read, analyze, and synthesize technical literature
• Solid written communication skills in English

What sets you apart

• Familiarity with advanced logic device architectures (e.g., GAA, 3D integration, CFET/cFET concepts)
• Prior experience with research projects, literature surveys, or patent reviews
• Strong analytical mindset and ability to organize complex technical information

Apply today to be part of what’s next.

We make the tech that enables the chips in devices which improve lives around the world. We do this with an eye to the future, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible through cutting-edge innovation, and driving the next wave of technological breakthroughs that shape how we live, work, and connect.
