Theoretical Physicist Internship: Advanced Optical Systems Analysis

1 dag geleden


Veldhoven, Noord-Brabant, Nederland ASML Voltijd

Are you a master student in physics, with an interest in theoretical physics? Do you have knowledge of physical modelling, optics, Fourier analysis and scientific programming languages, such as Matematica, Python or Matlab? If so, this internship opportunity may be interesting for you.

Background Information

ASML is a global leader in the semiconductor industry, providing chipmakers with sophisticated hardware to achieve lithographic patterning of several nm-size microchip features. Our tools are based on highly advanced optical measurement systems. To stay ahead of competition, ASML Research continuously explores novel methods to generate, manipulate, illuminate, and measure light at wavelengths across the electromagnetic spectrum.

Your Assignment

A cornerstone of optical research is a detailed understanding of advanced physical processes, such as non-linear white-light generation, XUV generation, coherence control, scatterometry, and interferometry. In this internship, you will:

  • Develop analytical and/or numerical physical models to understand the behaviour of advanced light sources;
  • Use your theoretical knowledge to optimize properties of optical systems;
  • Explore novel optical metrology concepts;

The assignment may be more analytically or numerically oriented, depending on your preference. You will work in a multidisciplinary team that has access to experimental setups, where theoretical insights can be explored in practice. Advanced simulations are enabled through ASML's high-performance computational cluster.

Your Profile

To be the perfect match for this internship you:

  • Are a master student in physics, with a theoretical orientation;
  • Have an affinity with physical modelling, optics and Fourier analysis;
  • Are a critical thinker, driven and have good communication skills;
  • Have knowledge of scientific programming languages like Mathematica, Matlab or Python;
  • Speak and write English on an advanced level.

This is a master level apprentice or graduation (thesis) internship, full-time for a minimum duration of 5 months. The exact content as well as the start date of the internship assignment may be discussed and/or adjusted to the interests and needs of the student.

Becoming Part of Progress

At ASML, we believe that diversity and inclusion are driving forces in our success. We recognize that everyone brings their own unique perspective and experience. As an intern, you'll gain valuable experience in a highly innovative environment, one that sparks your imagination and creativity. You'll get practical guidance from experts in the field and the chance to work in and experience a dynamic team environment.

We offer a monthly internship allowance of €600 (plus a possible housing or travel allowance). You'll also become part of a global team of over 40,000 people with over 140 different nationalities and counting. Headquartered in Europe's top tech hub, the Brainport Eindhoven region in the Netherlands, our operations are spread across Europe, Asia and the US. In such an environment, your colleagues may be sitting next door, or they could be thousands of kilometers away in a different country – or even working for a different company.
