Delft University of Technology Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering
Delft, (Zuid-Holland), 38 hours per week
Job description
The PhD research is related to the EC-funded project "Knowledge-based multi-scale modelling of metal-oxide-polymer interface behaviour for micro- and nanoelectronics: NANOINTERFACE" that will be performed by a European research consortium. In this project, software tools based on a multi-scale approach will be developed. Here Molecular Dynamics models at the atomic level will be explicitly coupled to Finite Element models at the macroscopic (product) level, in order to quantitatively predict the reliability of electronic devices. The proposed PhD research aims to establish experimental characterization methods at the micro-nano scale which lay the basis for the multi-scale descriptions, and to provide material data for the material pairings in order to describe interface reliability as a function of moisture, temperature and pressure.
Requirements
Required education/skills:University Graduate
We are looking for an excellent and motivated experimental researcher with an interest in multi-scale modelling. The candidate should have an MSc degree in Mechanics of Materials, Physics, or Materials Science and should also have good communication skills in English (both in writing and in speaking).
Job type: Research / Advising
Workfield(s):
- Research trainees, non-tenured lecturers, researchers
Organization
Delft University of Technology
Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering
Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is a multifaceted institution offering education and carrying out research in the technical sciences at an internationally recognized level. Education, research and design are strongly oriented towards applicability. TU Delft develops technologies for future generations, focusing on sustainability, safety and economic vitality. At TU Delft you will work in an environment where technical sciences and society converge. TU Delft comprises eight faculties, unique laboratories, research institutes and schools.
The Precision and Microsystems Engineering (PME) department focuses its research on developing knowledge and technology for the realization of small devices and systems, e.g., microsystems and microelectronics. This is a field with strong international industrial players in the Netherlands. The systems and products realized by the precision technology industry are driven by fast and focused performance advancement in terms of miniaturization and function density, improved precision and speed, and improved reliability.
Date of entry: 25/04/2008
