Description | |
The incumbent will be involved in research to advance strategies to develop macro-scale to atom-scale electrical connections to thereby achieve quantum transport measurements through atom defined structures. The project will involve nanofabrication to create specialized silicon samples with Macro-to-Atom contacts for the printing of atomic circuitry. Fabrication will involve optical, e-beam and/or scan probe based lithography as well as encapsulation methods to protect circuity. Electrical measurements of unique samples, sample preparation methods, doping of hydrogen terminated silicon, the development of unique hardware and software solutions for STM and/or other lithography may be performed depending on the incumbent’s qualifications. The project will deliver high-impact publications by tackling the challenging issues with connecting to and addressing atomic circuitry created on hydrogen terminated silicon surfaces. | |
Start Date | Unknown |
Salary | From $56,374 To $159,364 Per Annum. |
Credentials | Candidates should have obtained a PhD (or equivalent) within the past three years (PhD received on or after July 1, 2018) or expect to complete their PhD within 6 months of appointment. |
Education Requirements | Ph.D. in Physics, Chemistry, or a relevant Engineering discipline will spearhead a project team that will draw on techniques from lithographic processes on various length scales from micron to nanometer. |
Experience | • Expertise in cleanroom fabrication (EBL, Photo-lithography, dry and wet etching, thin films deposition) will be preferred. • Experience in layout design, fabrication process optimization and design of experiments will be preferred. • Previous hands-on expertise in materials characterization techniques (AFM, SEM, FIB, TEM) will be preferred. |
