Ecole Polytechnique Work Values

Daily Duties at Ecole Polytechnique:

Responsible development of second-generation large-area (10 x 10 cm2) hot wire chemical vapor deposition (hot-wire CVD) system for fabrication poly-Si thin-film solar cells on glass. A team of engineers, technicians and a graduate student were part of this development project. Co-founded pioneering research in Europe on high growth rate (> 1 nm/s) microcrystalline and polycrystalline silicon thin-film deposited at low-temperature (< 500C) and established the group as the leader of the field. Responsible for development of device grade polycrystalline silicon and characterization of these thin-film by various structural as well as electrical characterization techniques. Invented polycrystalline silicon thin-film, which are truly intrinsic (carrier concentration ~ 1011 cm-3) and highest doping efficiency in poly-Si films, reported in literature. We also found hole mobility is higher than electron mobility. We also invented atomic hydrogen (H) from hot-wire CVD improves mobility unlike plasma dissociated H which improves lifetime of the carrier. Highest doping efficiency for phosphorous (P) and boron (B) have been observed for hot-wire CVD poly-Si film. Developed research collaboration with various research groups within C.N.R.S. as well as other universities in Germany. Co-advised a graduate student on physics of poly-Si film on glass. I took part in writing technical report and research project for European Commission. Responsible for managing three different research projects, i.e. i) poly-Si thin-film synthesized by hot-wire CVD, ii) solid phase crystallization (SPC) of amorphous silicon (a-Si) and iii) light-induced metastability, transport properties, defect and structural properties of amorphous-to-nanocrystalline silicon thin-film. The collaborating institute on project on amorphous-to-nanocrystalline were, L.G.E.P, C.N.R.S., France, University of Lyon, France, University of Stuttgart, Germany, Hann-Meitner Institute, Germany and Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, India. This new materials was latter reproduced at Ecole Polytechnique. Took part in writing proposal for the submission in European Commission on thin silicon film solar cells, the project was finally accepted (Contract No: JOR3-CT97-0126, FY:1997-2000).

What they like about Ecole Polytechnique:

Organizations with strong, centralized leadership are particularly attractive to you. You require a work environment with leadership that aggressively seeks to expand and grow the business and does so in a visible and decisive manner. In general you prefer to work in an environment in which there is a strong link between leadership, its actions, and a strong set of company-wide values.
