Brookhaven National Laboratory is committed to employee success and we believe that a comprehensive employee benefits program is an important and meaningful part of the compensation employees receive. Review more information at BNL Benefits Program
The Instrumentation Division seeks an exceptional Postdoctoral Research Associate to join a research effort on characterization of advanced microelectronic structures using ptychographic imaging techniques being developed at NSLSII. The xray metrology pipeline will be utilized for characterization of microelectronic structures being developed at IO and performing xray measurements at NSLSII. Examples of target areas include (but are not limited to): (i) characterization of defects due to electromigration effects in highcurrent density interconnects (ii) characterization of mechanical stress and radiationdamage effects in photonics components integrated on a conventional silicon substrate and (iii) preparation of samples to be used for xray experiments at NSLSII. The selected candidate will work with a team of scientists from NSLSII CFN (Centers for Functional Nanomaterials) CSI (Computational Science Initiative) and IO (Instrumentation Division) plus other postdoctoral researchers who are working on different aspects of the project (i.e. development of ptychographic imaging techniques performing simulations and experiments that incorporate latest machinelearning algorithms). Furthermore the successful candidate will collaborate broadly with the other members of IO and CFN leveraging their expertise in design and fabrication of microelectronics.
This is a 2 year appointment.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
Design and fabricate test patterns and microelectronics samples for xray characterizations.
Explore a method for producing volumetric dataset corresponding to the test pattern to be used for xray imaging simulations.
Perform laboratory measurements.
Perform xray scattering diffraction and imaging experiments at NSLSII.
Collaborate with researchers at NSLSII CFN CSI and IO taking advantage of their expertise to achieve the research goal.
Publish the results in peerreviewed journals and present them at conferences.
POSITION REQUIREMENTS:
Required Knowledge Skills and Abilities:
Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering Computer Science Physics Material Science or related discipline.
Demonstrated expertise in research and development of microelectronics systems (i.e. devices and integrated circuits).
Handson experience with structural characterizations relevant to investigating microelectronic systems (i.e. xray or electron imaging criticaldimension small angle scattering or xray diffraction).
Demonstrated experience in computational programming for producing volumetric dataset (corresponding to the test patterns 3D structure).
Excellent oral and written communication skills.
Excellent publication or presentation records in the related areas.
Ability to work independently as well as effectively in a collaborative team environment for solving scientific problems.
Preferred Knowledge Skills and Abilities:
Demonstrated experience in programming (e.g. Python).
Experience in technologies (e.g. nanofabrication) relevant to microelectronics
Experience with SEM/TEM
Experience with xray imaging
Experience with analytical testing integrated circuits or microelectronics systems.
Familiarity with integrated circuit design processes flows CAD and EDA tools.
Experience with xray scattering or imaging. Synchrotron experience is preferred.
OTHER INFORMATION:
Initial 2year term appointment subject to renewal contingent on performance and funding.
BNL policy requires that after obtaining a PhD eligible candidates for research associate appointments may not exceed a combined total of 5 years of relevant work experience as a postdoc and/or in an R&D position excluding time associated with family planning military service illness or other lifechanging events.
