DESCRIPTION

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled researcher to join our research group in semiconductor device technology. This is a temporary position for 360 days. The project is a collaborative effort between Halmstad University and AlixLabs, a Swedish company developing world-leading processing technology for future chip manufacturing.

QUALIFICATIONS

The suitable candidate holds a Ph.D. in e.g. nanotechnology, semiconductors, solid state physics, materials chemistry, or industrial/environmental chemistry. The applicant must have very good oral and written proficiency in English.

Semiconductors are increasingly vital in our modern world and geopolitics, but their manufacturing process has a significant ecological footprint, consuming substantial amounts of energy and water while emitting toxic chemicals and greenhouse gases. In a recently approved research project, we will develop a novel and disruptive method called Atomic Layer Pitch Splitting (APS). APS is an advanced approach to fabricate next-generation node-size electronic elements, such as FinFETs and GAAFETs, using atomic layer etching. As part of this project, the appointed researcher will primarily focus on benchmarking APS against existing semiconductor industry technologies, with emphasis on environmental sustainability and cost-effectiveness.
