#WeAreIn to create tiny chips and big careers. Are you ready to take the first step in your career? Let’s shape the future together! Whether you join as a student, intern, or trainee, you’ll be part of something real – real projects, real impact, and real opportunities to grow. Are you in?
Your Role
Key responsibilities in your new role:
Infineon drives decarbonization and digitalization for a greener future with innovative semiconductor solutions. One important process in the production of semiconductors is plasma etching, in which active chemical species produced in a plasma are used to remove material from the wafer surface. You will be involved in the computer modeling of the many chemical reactions taking place in a plasma.
- Knowledge expansion: Acquire up-to-date knowledge on the numerical modeling of chemical reactions in silicon tetrafluoride (SiF4) plasmas in the presence of oxygen (O2)
- Experience research: Calculate electronic reaction rates using existing software (e.g. BOLSIG) and obtain computationally efficient analytical equivalent expressions
- Scientific work: Collect, analyze and compile relevant chemical reactions between heavy particles from the scientific literature
- Scientific experiments: Implement the time variation of space-averaged compiled chemical reactions using general-propose software (e.g. COMSOL Multiphysics). Furthermore, you execute sensitivity studies to analyze the development of chemical species in SiF4/O2 plasmas under different physical conditions
- Scientific writing: Document your results in writing and submitting your Master Thesis
Your Profile
Qualifications and skills to help you succeed:
- Study field: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or Engineering Master program, having already completed all of your exams
- Skills: Proven experience applying mathematics/physics/chemistry knowledge in computer numerical models (beyond course work)
- Interests: Strong ambition for computer simulation
- Experience: Solid programming (MATLAB, Python or other language) experience as well as ideally experience in COMSOL Multiphysics
- Personality: Very good communication skills and the ability to organize your work in a very structured way
- Language skills: Fluent English skills, both written and spoken, German would be a plus
Please attach the following documents to your application:
- CV in English
- Certificate of enrollment at university
