RAP opportunity at National Institute of Standards and Technology - NIST EUV Photoresist Chemistry and Structure

Due: May 1, 2025

$82,764

Description

Euv lithography has become a primary manufacturing tool for the semiconductor industry, but new challenges in the development and characterization of EUV resists have emerged as the technology continues to push patterning to new limits. There are significant needs to understand how the components in these resists are distributed, and critically whether there is aggregation that could contribute to roughness. Vertical segregation is also becoming a challenge, where surface energy differences drive resist components to a non-unifor...

Grantor Contact InformationDaniel Sunday, Phone: 301-975-4921Grantor Emaildaniel.sunday@nist.govOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. 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.
