JOB DESCRIPTION

Thermal management in highly integrated systems like high-performance computing and communication arrays is a large challenge in the electronics industry. When temperature of devices increases their lifetime reduces and thermal trottling can reduce performance. In highly integrated systems, the volume of material to trasnport heat is reduced which requires innovations for effective heat management. Improving the materials used is one of the methods that can be employed for this. Especially nanomaterials are of interest here, as they can potentially outperform bulk materials.
In this project at the faculty of EEMCS, which is part of the growth fund POLARIS, you will investigate innovate nanomaterial solutions for thermal management. The application of the material can be as thermal interface material or by enlabling other heat dissipation pathways. As part of the research, you will synthesize the materials in the EKL cleanroom, create test structures and validate their thermal performance and other relevant materials properties.
The research will take place in the Electronic Components, Technology and Materials section of the Microelectronics Department. Within the consortium, also other academic, research and industrial partners are present with whom there can be opportunities to collaborate.

JOB REQUIREMENTS

You hold a MSc in electrical engineering, materials science, applied physics or other relevant fields. Prioir experience in cleanroom processing and/or material analysis is recommended.
