Postdoctoral Researcher in Etching of Aluminides for Advanced Nano-interconnects
Research & development - Leuven | Just now
As a postdoctoral researcher, you will develop a subtractive etch solution for aluminide binary metal alloys by overcoming fundamental etch challenges.
What you will do
Nano-interconnects (IC) face multiple challenges, among which RC delay and therefore resistance scaling. Semiconductor industry is nowadays moving to pure ruthenium (Ru) as alternative current carrier metal, however, Ru itself is already facing limitations due to bridging formation and leakage at smaller pitch. Thus, binary metal alloys, based on Aluminum, are being explored right now as an alternative solution. You will be a part of Dry-Etch Team and the work will be performed in close collaboration with device and material scientists from IMEC, chemical and tool suppliers, partnering academics. Once the direct metal etch gets success, the study will then include the evaluation of nano-circuits allowing to extract electrical characteristics of the metal lines, such as line resistivity, leakage current, electromigration and dielectric breakdown performances, which will be benchmarked to conventional Cu damascene interconnects.
More specifically, you will
- Explore, investigate, and validate novel approaches, including but not limited to focusing on plasma-based reactive ion etching (RIE) and exploring different reactions paths and options for etching metallic alloys using suitable gas combinations and cyclic processes applied to selected representative compounds.
- Provide fundamental understanding on the physical and chemical processes that govern the etch mechanism of binary metal alloys on blanket substrates or patterned wafers. It is important to driving and understanding the interactions between the etch and other process steps.
- Write papers, patents and extend your network.
Type of work: 75% experimental, 25% modeling (wherever required), 10% literature
