PhD Researcher in Compound Semiconductor Analysis

2 weeks ago

Teddington, Greater London, United Kingdom National Physical Laboratory Full time

About the Role

This innovative PhD project at Swansea University and NPL in London aims to develop new tools for analyzing semiconductor wafers and devices, focusing on compound semiconductors like SiC, GaN and β-Ga2O3.

Compound semiconductors are essential for the UK's semiconductor strategy and are used in various technologies, including electric vehicles, sensors and quantum technologies.

The project will create methods to inspect wafers more effectively, using machine learning to identify critical defects in the latest semiconductor materials.

This PhD work is crucial as low production yields lead to wastage and slow market growth.

The project is funded by an iCASE award to the National Physical Laboratory (NPL).

About You

Candidates must hold a UK bachelor's degree with a minimum of Upper Second Class honours in chemistry or a related subject, or an overseas bachelor's degree deemed equivalent.

Due to funding restrictions, this scholarship is open to applicants eligible to pay tuition fees at the UK rate only.

Please note that you may need to provide evidence of your English Language proficiency.
