Missions

Integrated into the Nano-Micro-Systems (NAM6) team of the IEMN laboratory in collaboration with researchers at the PhLAM laboratory in Lille, the recruited person will have a mission of microfabicating micro-nano-system components in a cleanroom for research in long-wavelength photonics.

Activities

The work includes the following activities:
- Wafer preparation: wet processes.
- Development of thin resist layers, process reliability for resists.
- Optical lithography using maskless techniques, electron-beam lithography on an industrial-grade 100keV EBPG5000+ mask writer.
- Post-etching inspection and diagnosis.
- Assistance in the development of short-loop technological processes and eco-friendly processes with low environmental impact.
- Participation in process integration.

Skills

- Knowledge at the Bachelor's and Master's level in Physics and Chemistry.
- Observational skills and ability to question methods. Desire to learn from researchers experienced in high-level processes.
- Patience and interest in working on high-precision equipment in a cleanroom. Cleanliness and rigor necessary for cleanroom access.
- Observational skills during the development of new processes.
- Dexterity, calm (self-control), and manual precision are required. Ability to help others and respect the team.
- Proficiency in at least one of the following languages: English or French; for this language, the candidate must be able to read and write multi-page technical reports.
- Proficiency in reading technical English.

Additional appreciated aspects for this position, beyond the candidate's qualities:
- Internships in a professional environment in general.
- Internships in an industrial setting or laboratory.
- Experience in a demanding environment such as: an industrial production line, cleanroom, white room, or chemistry lab.
- Education in the field of microtechnologies.

Work Context

Our NAM6 team conducts research on microsensor systems to push the boundaries of instrumentation. The goal is to find solutions for measuring inertial forces at high frequency and at temperatures where current silicon MEMS technologies face limitations.

One of the main focuses of this project involves the fabrication of a topological device for THz telecommunications, as part of a European ERC Proof of Concept grant.

The position is located in a sector under the protection of scientific and technical potential (PPST), and therefore requires, in accordance with the regulations, that your arrival is authorized by the competent authority of the MESR.

Constraints and risks

The position requires obtaining cleanroom security clearance.
