Job description

Provide DescriptionScience and Engineering: Absolutely Funded EPSRC ICase and NPL PhD: Metrology and Course of Integration for Defect Mapping of Subsequent Era Semiconductor Supplies and UnitsThis extremely revolutionary PhD undertaking will develop new evaluation instruments for investigating semiconductor wafers and gadgets – focussing on the newest semiconductor supplies (together with compound semiconductors).This studentship is linked to an thrilling new Doctoral Coaching Initiative “UK Semiconductor Business Future Expertise” (UK-SIFS). UK-SIFS will present precious and extremely sensible abilities related to the UK semiconductor business reminiscent of formal cleanroom fabrication coaching, vacuum methods, course of management (six sigma) in semiconductor manufacturing, semiconductor provide chains and export management, semiconductor packaging, and expertise translation within the semiconductor sector. This PhD shall be a part of two cohorts of scholars in 2024 and 2025 throughout Swansea College and the College of Leeds, the Royce Institute, and companions together with KLA, and the Nationwide Bodily Laboratory (NPL), amongst others. Our companions will co-deliver the coaching content material, plus co-supervise PhD analysis tasks, and supervising a programme of secondments at associate websites. UK-SIFS offers not solely the appreciable advantages of analysis coaching and collaboration throughout a multidisciplinary cohort working in areas reminiscent of semiconductor gadgets, system characterisation and metrology, energy electronics, clear vitality, bioelectronics and sensing, THz gadgets, optoelectronics, molecular semiconductors, quantum expertise, digital glass and superior heterogeneous integration, however can be a novel alternative for these college students who might wish to join carefully with the semiconductor and associated industries for his or her PhD and aspire to be the long run leaders of the sector within the UK and past.This extremely revolutionary PhD undertaking, led by Swansea College and primarily based at NPL in London, goals to create new instruments for analysing semiconductor wafers and gadgets, specializing in the newest supplies like compound semiconductors. Compound semiconductors, necessary within the UK’s semiconductor technique, are utilized in varied applied sciences like electrical automobiles, sensors, and quantum applied sciences. They’re extra environment friendly than conventional silicon, however are delicate to defects, which may result in manufacturing points and excessive prices. The undertaking will develop strategies to examine wafers extra successfully, utilizing machine studying to establish crucial defects within the newest semiconductor supplies like SiC, GaN and β-Ga2O3. These supplies supply profound benefits for energy gadgets over silicon applied sciences. This PhD work is crucial as low manufacturing yields result in wastage and gradual market development.The undertaking is funded by an iCASE award to the Nationwide Bodily Laboratory (NPL). The award will fund a Swansea College scholar to undertake a PhD at NPL’s Teddington laboratories close to London.NecessitiesAnalysis Subject Engineering » Electrical engineering Training Stage Bachelor Diploma or equalExpertise/{Qualifications}Candidates should maintain 1) an undergraduate diploma at 2.1 stage (or Non-UK equal as outlined by Swansea College) in Engineering or related related science self-discipline, OR 2) an undergraduate diploma at 2.1 stage in chemistry or a associated topic, or a grasp’s diploma with a minimal total grade at ‘Advantage’ in chemistry or a associated topic (or Non-UK equal as outlined by Swansea College).
