Peer into the nanoscale world of chemical transformations that occur during EUV lithography and uncover the fundamental chemical reactions that drive the performance of today’s (and tomorrow’s) advanced devices. General description —————— Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography is revolutionizing the manufacture of our nano-electronic devices. By employing a wavelength of 13.5 nm, ultrasmall features below 10....

What you will do —————— Nondeterministic polynomial-time hard (NP-hard) optimization problems can be mapped on a novel class of Ising processors, typically implemented in CMOS exploiting digital compute or mixed signal compute-in-memory techniques. However, current implementations do not allow to scale up to larger problem sizes due to limited graph connectivity, inter/intra memory data movement....

IGZO-channel transistors present an opportunity to revolutionize DRAM memory by dramatically improving its retention and power consumption. This is possible due to remarkably low IOFF values, down to 10-22 A/µm. While IGZO transistors are used in the display industry, their industrial application for (3D) DRAM is severely hindered by their reliability issues and sensitivity to....

Enable the interrogation of many optomechanical structures by using advanced multiplexing schemes for photoacoustic imaging applications. Postdoctoral Researcher Photoacoustics ————————————– What you will do —————- OptoAcoustics investigates the interaction between light and mechanical vibrations. While this field used to be driven by fundamental research, it benefited from the development of micro-nano fabrication techniques so that....

Develop innovative Photonic ICs for applications in Quantum Photonics. What you will do —————— Imec is a partner of the EU funded project QuPilot (https://qu-pilot.eu), which aims to accelerate the time-to-market of European industrial innovation in quantum technology by setting up a series of pilot lines addressing several major technology platforms, including a photonics platform. ....
