Master Thesis - Wafer Bow Mitigation in Metal Layers for Ion Trap Quantum Processors (f/m/div)
Apply for the Master Thesis position in Infineon Technologies’ Power & Sensor Systems division within the Ion Trap Systems group. This role focuses on microfabrication techniques for trapped‑ion quantum processors.
Key responsibilities
* Investigate stress in metal thin films: examine causes and effects of stress and identify key drivers of wafer bow.
* Develop methods to reduce wafer bow: devise strategies to reduce wafer bow by controlling critical process parameters.
* Fabricate test wafers within a structured DOE: plan and execute split lots introducing controlled variations in metal stack parameters (composition, thickness, deposition, anneal), work in a cleanroom, and ensure repeatability of results.
* Deliver a strong master thesis: link your results to existing literature, present your findings in an accessible way, and formulate actionable recommendations for future fabrications.
Further Information
* Type of employment: Temporary / Full‑time (flexible working hours from Monday to Friday between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m.)
* Duration: 12 months
