Job Summary
The Quantum Semiconductor Systems Group under the direction of Prof. Michael Manfra seeks a scientist with expertise in semiconductor nanofabrication to support several projects related to the development and characterization of semiconductor and semiconductor‑superconductor hybrid devices used in the study of abelian and non‑abelian phases of matter and the development of topological qubits.
This position focuses on innovative device fabrication for quantum technologies. Strong interest in construction of novel devices is essential. The position is funded as a post‑doctoral fellowship with a minimal term of two years. Extension may be possible contingent upon future funding.
Previous hands‑on experience with semiconductor device fabrication is required. Experience working with high‑resolution e‑beam lithography, optical lithography, atomic layer deposition, thin film metals deposition, and scanning electron microscopy are considered highly desirable.
Responsibilities- Development of semiconductor device fabrication processes utilizing the cleanroom facilities of the Birck Nanotechnology Center located at Purdue University.
- Accurate documentation and effective communication of all procedures and results to the larger research group.
- Assist with training of less experienced personnel in correct operation of equipment and best‑practices in semiconductor processing.
- M.S. or Ph.D. in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or related engineering discipline.
- Previous hands‑on experience with semiconductor device fabrication, including e‑beam lithography, optical lithography, atomic layer deposition, thin film metals deposition, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy.
- Proven ability to develop new semiconductor process steps/flows leading to significantly improved device performance and/or enabling new device types.
- Excellent written and oral communication skills.
- Strong attention to detail and good organizational skills.
- Strong desire to work in a collaborative research program.
Interested candidates should email Professor Michael Manfra at mmanfra and include a CV and a list of two potential references.
