Graduate Research Assistantship Opportunity:
Deposited Gate Oxides for SiC MOSFETs
Graduate research assistantships are available in the area of silicon carbide metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) devices. SiC is a wide bandgap semiconductor with a high critical field, making it an exciting material for power electronic devices. SiC MOSFETs are
now commercially available, but do not yet achieve their full potential. Our group is approaching this problem from several directions, including a new device trench MOSFET geometries inspired by modern FinFETs and alternative gate insulator fabrication methods.
Research activities will include fabrication and characterization of SiC MOS capacitors and MOSFETs with gate oxides formed by thermal oxidation, atomic layer deposition (ALD), and other methods. The student will gain a detailed understanding of the physics
of the MOS interface and will learn various methods of characterizing devices, including MOS CV analysis, interface state density and carrier mobility.

RA Position at Birck
FIB training and assistance and EM maintenance support
The Birck Nanotechnology Center is looking for a Grad student with experience in scanning electron microscopy and focused ion beam to assist 20 hrs a week with the FIB at BNC - Helios 4G UX
The responsibilities will be but not limited:
1. Provide FIB services - TEM sample preparation, patterning, cross section imaging and EDX chemical analysis - to BNC and industrial users using the FIB Helios 4G UX
2. Manage the reception of samples and analysis instructions from Birck users
3. Training new users in the FIB Helios 4G
4. Align the FIB monthly and make sure the system is working properly.
5. Provide assistance to users remotely in case an issue arises.
6. Manage the training and services request for FIB in Ilab and provide metrics every week.
7. Training new users in the Nanomill ion polisher, PIPS, and mechanical polisher.
8. Have great disposition, excellent communication skills, and ability to solve problems when providing services or trainings
9. Provide maintenance and support to the EM instrumentation
10. Prepare material for promoting the EM core in social media.
Because of the nature of our Industrial clients, the successful candidate needs to have export control clearance. Also, hours could be negotiable but the successful candidate needs to be available from Tuesday until Saturday to work
at BNC.
Please send your resume and two letters of recommendation to
rdiazri@purdue.edu.
