Within the Research Group ‘Inorganic and Physical Chemistry’ of Hasselt
University, the following position (m/f) available:
PhD Studentship Inorganic and Physical Chemistry (2 x 2 years)
(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.
