15h Left Research Fellow – Oxide Semiconductor

3 days ago


Cork, Ireland Tyndall National Institute Full time

Research Fellow – Oxide Semiconductor (OSC) Electronic Devices.
Contract: Full Time/Fixed Term

Tyndall National Institute is Ireland’s largest Research and Technology Organisation (RTO) and a flagship Institute of University College Cork. Specialising in both electronics and photonics, Tyndall works with global industry and academia to transform research into products in its core market areas of electronics, communications, energy, health, agri-tech and the environment.

Background to the Role
Within Tyndall’s Micro Nano Systems Centre, we have created a strategic research programme focusing on materials, emerging devices and architectures for future information processing, interfacing with CMOS and beyond (“CMOS++ Materials & Devices”).

CMOS++ is involved in the Chips JU NanoIC pilot line co-funded by the European Commission and national agencies as part of the targeted initiatives of the EU Chips Act. The implementation of the Chips JU pilot lines is expected to bridge the gap from lab to fab and will be available to a wide range of users, including academia, industry and research institutions.

The NanoIC pilot line is the result of a remarkable European cross-border collaboration. Hosted by imec (Belgium), its partners include CEA-Leti (France), Fraunhofer (Germany), VTT (Finland), CSSNT (Romania) and Tyndall National Institute (Ireland).

These technologies are situated in three research pillars:

1. Advanced logic technologies
2. Advanced memory technologies
3. Advanced interconnect technologies

In NanoIC, Tyndall’s flexibility into materials integration will allow for rapid, short-cycle screening to reduce the cycle time in identifying and integrating highly performing materials to carry forward into IC development.

Purpose of the Role
The purpose of this role is to design and implement a specific research programme associated with Tyndall’s oxide semiconductors (OSC) activity in the NanoIC Pilot Line. This programme will explore new OSCs to deliver high performance FET channel materials (n-type and p-type) immune to device instabilities for integration at the BEOL in advanced CMOS technology nodes.

Key Duties and Responsibilities

- Work with the supervisor and other team members in idea and strategy generation to deliver the outputs of the project.
- Coordinate and execute the implementation of a research programme to explore OSCs electrical properties and evaluate device performance and stability.
- Utilise an independent approach to carry the project work forward.
- Collaborate with project partners, internal and external researchers.
- Engage in the dissemination of the results to the relevant research stakeholders.
- Supervise and provide day-to-day advice, support, mentoring, and assistance to research graduates, students and other junior members.
- Ensure all activities are compliant with the Tyndall Quality Management system and Health and Safety standards.

Essential Criteria

- PhD in materials sciences, engineering, physics or related discipline.
- Typically, 6 years on hands-on experience in the fabrication and characterization of semiconductor devices.
- Demonstrated knowledge of device physics and relevant semiconductor materials.
- A strong publication record in the field of OSCs.
- Experience in the use of TCAD simulation tools.
- Capability of working effectively within a team to achieve results.

What we Offer
We offer progressive employment and training policies including opportunities for further studies. At Tyndall we value Ambition, Collaboration, Diversity, Excellence and Integrity.

Appointment may be made on the UCC Research Fellow scale €63,958 – €69,692 p.a.. Salary placement on appointment will be in accordance with the public sector pay policy.

The duration of the contract is a fixed term of approximately 24 months with the possibility to extend by 18 months upon the availability of funding, satisfactory performance, mutual agreement and a detailed career development plan.

Application Instructions
Please make sure to attach an up to date CV/Resume AND a brief motivation letter outlining how you meet the ‘Essential Criteria’ for this role.
