PhD Studentship (2 x 2 years) Inorganic and Physical Chemistry
(mandate SBG/2008/001)
Job description
This PhD research is situated in the frame of a collaboration
between the Institute of Materials research and the Interuniversity
Microelectronics Centre (IMEC). Within the group of Inorganic and
Physical Chemistry and in a highly interdisciplinary context
(chemistry / materials physics / electronics), research will be
performed towards the development and the introduction of new metal
oxide materials for micro/nano-electronic devices of future
technology generations, aiming to meet the ever increasing demand of
miniaturisation. The PhD project will focus on the study and
optimisation of wet-chemical synthesis routes for innovative
high-K dielectric metal oxides and the characterisation of their
ultrathin layers in view of finding suitable next generation
dielectrics for logic and DRAM devices. The research will be carried
out in close collaboration with IMEC and with other disciplines
within the institute for Materials
Research.
Profile and diploma
Candidates are able to work independently and to conduct their
research in an interdisciplinary context. A strong interest in
inorganic and physical chemistry, materials science and
thermodynamics as well as in the synthesis and characterisation of
materials with applications in electronics is encouraged. The
candidates should have an adequate basic-knowledge of chemistry
and materials science and should therefore have a diploma of:
Master in (applied) Chemistry or (applied) Physics, Bio engineer,
Master in Industrial Sciences, Civil Engineer or equivalent diploma.
