Graduate Student
This PREP position focuses on developing on-wafer metrology for piezoelectric materials for in-plane and out-of-plane permittivity characterization. The position requires finite element simulations, programming, network analysis, dimensional metrology, web-based programming, and other skills. The position will use on-wafer methods to develop a materials characterization technique for mmWave industry to validate the authenticity of integrated circuits.
On-wafer complex permittivity measurements of piezoelectric materials
A bachelor’s degree in physics, materials science engineering, or a related field.
2 years of relevant experience with on-wafer calibration, and materials metrology.
Familiarity with programming in MATLAB.
Experience with HFSS, Circuit, and Q3D.
Strong oral and written communication skills.
The PREP student will coordinate all stakeholder engagement to understand industries need and coordinate regular updates to solicit feedback.
The PREP student will design, simulate, and assemble on-wafer devices for mmWave test and measurement.
With the measurement systems integrated, the PREP student will perform all measurements and analysis on the data.
In coordination with NIST researcher, the PREP student will develop and carry out a plan that test new materials characterization metrologies.
