What is special about working at Infineon?

There are several aspects worth mentioning. First of all, the cultural and national diversity. My colleagues come from all around the globe. Secondly, Infineon offers a great number of courses to help employees develop their career and personal skills.

What are your main tasks?

My main tasks consist of supporting the development and optimization of processes for GaN technology. For example, when we modify a process, this change will impact the physical or electrical properties of a device. Sometimes even both. My task is to discuss planned experiments with the relevant process engineers and design experiments. At the end, when the process is completed, I evaluate its impact, requesting the necessary physical analyses, measurements, etc.

What are the results of your work?

The GaN power transistors we develop through various projects are targeted at applications such as servers, telecom systems, wireless chargers, adapters/chargers, etc.

What are your job highlights?

In my daily work, I communicate with colleagues from different departments in order to plan and execute various experiments. On completion of these experiments, I analyze the results and either plan further experiments or implement those results in the process.

What are your biggest challenges?

As a new hire, I was assigned to a project focused on the development of a product in which several customers were already interested. Although the single processes were already available from other technologies, these had never been tried out or implemented with GaN technology. Therefore, in order to demonstrate a device prototype in a relatively short timeframe, we had to connect those processes together and prove their feasibility with GaN technology. This required close collaboration with colleagues from different groups at Infineon Villach as well as Infineon Regensburg.

What are the failures that you most cherish?

 The failures that I cherish the most are those from which I learn.
