Postdoctoral researcher

Project
PREP0004259

This PREP position focuses on developing on-wafer metrology for tunable dielectrics, anisotropic
materials, and out-of-plane permittivity. 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.

Work Location is Physically at NIST (Boulder, CO).

Electronic Materials(CHIPS Funded Project)

Qualifications
  • A Doctorate 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.
  • U.S. Citizen Preferred
Research Proposal

Key responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

  • 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.
