Job Duties
- Develop a comprehensive workflow to conduct high-throughput NEGF calculations to obtain conductance, I-V characteristics, and transmission spectra for several semiconductor interfaces (semiconductor/metal, semiconductor/amorphous dielectric, semiconductor/semiconductor).
- Apply NEGF workflow to study ideal and defective systems, focusing on experimentally relevant defects (i.e., traps that impact device performance).
- Run simulations using atomistic (electronic structure and transport) software such as VASP , Quantum Espresso, GPAW , DFTB+, SIESTA /Tran Siesta, QuantumATK, or similar codes, and perform data analysis, to investigate relevant material properties
- Work closely on industry-relevant problems, driven by external stakeholders
- Work alongside experimentalists conducting electrical measurements of semiconductor devices for validation
- Work alongside other members of the modeling team to bridge the atomistic scale with device scale
- Use NEGF in conjunction with machine learning techniques such as machine learning force fields and machine learning Hamiltonians to study electronic transport phenomena at a larger scale
- Package and disseminate software/workflows and data for use by the broader semiconductor research community
Requested Minimum Qualifications
Education:
- A Doctorate in Materials Science and Engineering, Physics or a related field from an accredited college or university.
Experience:
- 4 years of relevant experience.
- Experience with DFT and atomistic transport software: VASP , Quantum Espresso, GPAW , DFTB+, SIESTA /Tran Siesta, QuantumATK.
