    Position summary

    CD is an essential metrology technique that leverages geometric RCWA simulations to map process parameters for micro- and nano-structured elements. This project provides an excellent opportunity to contribute to a high-impact program while gaining hands-on experience with advanced optical metrology and simulations.

    Description

    • Develop RCWA-based OCD modeling methodologies for diffractive nanostructures. - Identify critical degrees of freedom (DOF) and fitting parameters required for optimize diffractive element process maps - Explore and propose techniques to enhance the accuracy of model fitting compared against ground truth experimental data - Assess the Gauge Repeatability and Reproducibility (GR&R) of OCD equipment. - Integrate RCWA findings and improve models for supporting design validation simulations and process control recommendations

    Minimum Qualifications

    • Strong academic background in optical physics, optical engineering, or a related field.

    • Experience with OCD metrology, RCWA simulations, or similar optical modeling techniques.

    • Analytical mindset with a focus on accuracy and detail in synthesizing simulated and experimental data

    • Ability to work independently on complex, research-driven tasks while effectively communicating findings to the team.

    • Must hold relevant work permit in Japan for the duration of the internship.

    • Currently enrolled in a PhD Program

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Verbal and written communication skills in English.
