PhD student project Conductivity Control in Metallic Nanolayers
Enschede, 7500 AE, (Overijssel), 38 hours per weekUniversity of Twente
Job description
Tasks
The Ph.D. student will use a custom-built, modern Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) system to deposit high-quality metal and metal-like layers. These layers will be patterned and characterized for their electrical properties, using in-situ and ex-situ measurements. The aim is to study electrical properties of conducting layers only a few nanometers thick, where quantum effects and morphology play a dominant role. Supervision will be given by experts in ALD and CVD, and experts in optical and electrical characterization of the University of Twente.
