About The Project
Multi-scale modelling of Thin Film Deposition with Flowable CVD for Next-gen Semiconductors
Supervisor:
Dr Bora Karasulu, University of Warwick This project, co-funded by Merck Electronics, will use computational simulations to study how thin films form during flowable chemical vapor deposition (FCVD), a process used to build advanced semiconductor devices.
About The Project
Multi-scale modelling of Thin Film Deposition with Flowable CVD for Next-gen Semiconductors
Supervisor:
Dr Bora Karasulu, University of Warwick This project, co-funded by Merck Electronics, will use computational simulations to study how thin films form during flowable chemical vapor deposition (FCVD), a process used to build advanced semiconductor devices.
Unlike traditional CVD, FCVD creates a liquid-like layer that fills narrow trenches on substrates before solidifying into films. We will model this across multiple scales, from atoms to fluid flow, using quantum chemistry, machine learning, molecular dynamics, and fluid mechanics.
We aim to understand how chemical structure of precursors and process conditions affect film quality, helping design better materials and manufacturing methods in close collaboration with the Merck experimental team.
