Enschede, Overijssel, Nederland University of Twente Voltijd

Position Overview

We are seeking a dedicated PhD researcher to enhance our dynamic and interdisciplinary research group, focusing on laser-driven manufacturing methods for integrated electronic and photonic circuits. This role is part of a significant Dutch initiative aimed at pioneering advancements in next-generation high-tech equipment, supporting the growth of vital sectors within the Dutch high-tech landscape.

Project Background

The increasing complexity of electronic and photonic circuits necessitates advanced techniques for connecting these systems to external interfaces. Laser-based methodologies offer innovative solutions for achieving the intricate structuring required for the bonding and assembly of these components. One such method, Laser-Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT), represents a cutting-edge additive manufacturing process that enables the transfer of minuscule volumes of donor materials onto substrates using laser energy.

For insights into recent advancements in this research area, please refer to the following publications:

Your Research Challenge

In the context of chip bonding, the characteristics and dimensions of the bond, along with the conductive structures, are significantly influenced by the properties of the metallic solder and the soldering technique employed. For the integration of various chips within a single system, the density of these connections is crucial for optimizing the overall system footprint and cost. The precision offered by laser technology allows for the transfer of solder materials with enhanced accuracy and potentially superior material properties, all while operating in a contactless manner that does not necessitate a cleanroom environment.

In this project, you will explore innovative techniques for laser-assisted soldering of circuit elements, aiming to enhance the assembly of heterogeneous systems comprising electronic and photonic chips. You will design a setup to facilitate laser-assisted material transfer and conduct analyses of printed materials at the Chair of Laser Processing, contributing to the integration of these materials into real circuit systems to minimize feature sizes. This work will be conducted in collaboration with academic institutions and industry partners within the project consortium.

You will engage closely with researchers from other departments at the University of Twente and collaborate with industrial partners involved in the project. Access to the esteemed research facilities at the University of Twente will be provided.

Your Profile

  • A Master's degree, preferably with distinction (or equivalent), in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Physics, Photonics, Electrical or Materials Engineering, or a related field.
  • Strong understanding of the fundamental principles of laser-material processing, with applied knowledge in laser micromachining considered an asset.
  • Experience with various surface characterization technologies/techniques, such as SEM, EDX, AFM, etc., is advantageous.
  • Ability to conduct experimental research in a laboratory setting.
  • Good knowledge and awareness of (numerical) modeling techniques.
  • Exceptional analytical skills and a strong analytical mindset, along with excellent communication abilities, both written and verbal.
  • Proficiency in English is required. Candidates who have not graduated from an English-speaking country must demonstrate their English proficiency through IELTS or TOEFL scores, with a minimum overall score of 6.5 and no component below 5.5.
  • A high degree of responsibility and independence is encouraged, while maintaining close collaboration with colleagues, researchers, and other staff.

Our Offer

  • A four-year full-time PhD position.
  • A stimulating and modern research environment equipped with world-class facilities, alongside excellent mentorship to foster your professional and personal development.
  • A starting salary of €2,770 gross per month in the first year, increasing to €3,539 gross per month by the fourth year.
  • An annual holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary, along with an annual year-end bonus of 8.3%.
  • A robust pension scheme.
  • A minimum of 40 leave days per year for full-time employment.
  • A tailored training program as part of the Twente Graduate School, where you and your supervisors will collaboratively develop a suitable education and supervision plan.
  • The University of Twente is located on a vibrant green campus with numerous facilities for sports and recreational activities.
