Cathodoluminescence Analysis Specialist

Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Nederland AMOLF Voltijd
Role Overview

Are you aware that high-energy electrons can act as effective sources for the optical excitation of materials? Our research team has pioneered cathodoluminescence (CL) microscopy, utilizing 1-30 keV electrons within a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to stimulate nanomaterials. The oscillating electric field produced by the electrons serves as a comprehensive (0-30 eV) excitation source, achieving remarkable spatial resolution of 5 nm and temporal resolution of 5 fs. This capability allows us to investigate excitations and localized modes of plasmons, two-dimensional semiconductors, and a diverse array of optical metamaterials.

In this initiative, we will explore the potential application of CL spectroscopy within a scanning electron microscope (SEM) as a tool for semiconductor metrology. Our objective is to gather angle-, polarization-, and time-resolved CL spectra from intricate nanostructures composed of metals, semiconductors, and dielectrics, aiming to extract characteristic material properties and feature dimensions in three dimensions from the acquired datasets. The project encompasses investigations of simple model systems as well as complex structures such as nanosheet transistors, which are pertinent to semiconductor manufacturing, employing tomographic techniques alongside inverse design and machine learning methodologies. The goal is to ascertain the capabilities and constraints of utilizing CL in semiconductor metrology and to establish practical workflows for CL tomography.

Qualifications
  • A master's degree in physics, chemistry, materials science, or a related discipline.
  • Exceptional social, organizational, and communication abilities.
  • A preference for both independent work and collaborative teamwork.
Work Environment

AMOLF is part of NWO-I, engaging in leading fundamental research on the physics of complex forms of matter and the creation of new functional materials, in collaboration with academic and industrial partners. The institute is situated in a vibrant research community.
