NIST Metrology for Semiconductor Manufacturing

Due: May 1, 2025

$82,764

Description

Research opportunities are available to develop and advance measurement methods required for current and future semiconductor manufacturing processes. Areas of particular interest include the following:(1) optical metrology for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography with an emphasis on the optical properties of EUV materials and the quantification of surface damage due to EUV-induced chemical reactions involving residual vacuum gases, (2) determinations of the outgassing rate of water vapor and other molecules from surfaces, (3) d...

Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
