Material Scientist, TEM and Microanalysis
About The Position
The ideal candidate is able to lead and drive creative focused R&D efforts involving design, fabrication, and characterization of nano-scale quantum-effect semiconductor devices. As a member of an interdisciplinary team, investigate devices with (S)TEM and related analytical electron microscopy techniques, develop and refine microscopy characterization methods and advance the state of the art. Use advanced characterization methods to identify failure modes of novel semiconductor devices and inform process development efforts while providing feedback to team members. Work closely with senior technical staff to support materials characterization, process development, and failure analysis efforts. Work closely with and mentor junior technical staff on best practices for microscopy, process development, and failure analysis. Present ideas and results in effective technical presentations and reports, write technical papers and contribute to research proposals.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience with microscopy techniques such as High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM), High-Angle Annular Dark-Field Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (HAADF-STEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), and Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) is desired.
- Ph.D. in Materials Science & Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related fields.
- US Citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a US Government Security Clearance
Nice To Haves
- Experience with TEM tomography, strain mapping, and focused ion beam lamella preparation is a plus.
- Experience in semiconductor process development and failure analysis of semiconductor devices is a plus.
- A history of productive research as evident in publications, patents or presentations is a plus.
- Industry experience is a plus.
- Experience with data handling software such as excel, JMP, python, or IGOR is desired.
