The goal of this project is a commercial prototype with unique capabilities for the characterisation of nanoscale semiconductor devices manufactured at current or future generation process nodes.
Key Responsibilities
- Developing electronic hardware and software interface for performing low level (≤fA) current measurement and data acquisition (DAQ). This includes the design and evaluation of op-amp analog circuits, drafting and updating PCB designs and electronic schematics (in EAGLE or its equivalent).
Qualifications
Minimum Job Requirements
- A Bachelor/Masters/PhD degree in a relevant major, such as Physics/Electrical and Computer Engineering/Mechanical Engineering.
Other Relevant Characteristics
Candidates with any of the following characteristics will also be highly desired:
- A multidisciplinary background with excellent practical experimental and engineering skills.
- Experience or working knowledge in any of the following aspects: FPGA based control, Direct Digital Synthesizer, high voltage (kV) electronics, and low-noise instrumentation.
- Experience in software development for graphical user interface to perform instrumentation control (LabVIEW, C/C++).
- Experience with Electron beam or Ion beam microscopy, and/or Electron Beam or Ion Beam Induced Charge or Current measurement techniques (EBIC, EBAC or IBIC).
- Familiarity with state-of-the-art simulation platforms such as TCAD, MATLAB/Simulink, PSIM and PLECS for semiconductor device characterisation.
- Familiarity with charged particle optics, and ray tracing simulation (e.g. SIMION, COMSOL, Particle Tracer).
- CAD mechanical design and assembly (e.g. SOLIDWORKS).
General skills
- Able to thrive in a dynamic, multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary research team.
- Able to work independently by conducting experiments alone or in teams when required.
- Able to develop requirement specifications and maintain technical documentation.
- Strong verbal and written technical communication skills in English for multidisciplinary collaboration in a hybrid physical/virtual work environment (i.e. face to face and via collaboration platforms such as Microsoft Teams).
Covid-19 Message
At NUS, the health and safety of our staff and students are one of our utmost priorities, and COVID-vaccination supports our commitment to ensure the safety of our community and to make NUS as safe and welcoming as possible. Many of our roles require a significant amount of physical interactions with students/staff/public members. Even for job roles that may be performed remotely, there will be instances where on-campus presence is required.
Taking into consideration the health and well-being of our staff and students and to better protect everyone in the campus, applicants are strongly encouraged to have themselves fully COVID-19 vaccinated to secure successful employment with NUS.
