Description:
We focus on the development of nanopatterning processes for electronic device applications using innovative lithographic methods. Multilayer patterning based on advanced optical principles is of particular interest for achieving high-speed, large-area nanofabrication. This work aims to understand material characterization during the lithographic process and the associated light-matter interactions. Process optimization is an integral part of the topic to ensure high-quality pattern formation on samples. During the training period, hands-on experience in lithography as well as metrology for optical characterization will be acquired.

Responsibilities:
• Prepare samples and receive training in lithographic patterning processes.
• Perform optical simulations for lithography.
• Support the design and fabrication of metasurfaces.
• Document experimental results and contribute to reports and presentations.

Type of internship: Master internship, PhD internship
