PhD Simulation of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) Images
Announcement date: 21 September 2023Description
Electron microscopy is at the heart of innovations and applications on the nanoscale in a wide range of sectors. The technology is, for instance, used in the semiconductor industry to observe engineered nanodevices, as well as for medical applications like cancer research. The major challenge of using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) is to correctly interpret the images created by the tool. The formation of these images depends on how the electron beam interacts with the composition and topology of the samples. Your challenge as a PhD student at TU Delft is to further develop and program models that will enable simulation of such SEM images. You will work closely with our partner ASML, leveraging fundamental research to improve nanoscale electronic device manufacturing....

You are highly motivated to conduct fundamental research into electron beam imaging geared to accelerating innovations for industry and society as a whole. Embracing the opportunity to work with leading industrial partners, you know how to collaborate and achieve meaningful results geared to the development of pragmatic applications. You also put your curiosity to good use: you don’t take anomalies for granted and take the initiative to dig deeper and spar with experts. Harnessing your communication skills, you convince colleagues at TU Delft and ASML of your approach, models and programs. And you enjoy interacting with and mentoring talented bachelor and master students, while expanding your own knowledge and competencies.
You also have:
- An MSc in Applied Physics or Electrical Engineering.
- Demonstrable modelling, C++ and Python programming skills.
- Thorough knowledge of solid-state physics.
- Experience of, or a keen interest in electron-matter interaction, condensed matter physics and/or electron beam imaging.
