Research Engineer Elaboration of thin films under vacuum by PVD

Typical job

Research engineer in materials science / development

Missions

The agent will be responsible for ensuring the development and proper operation of physical vapor deposition (PVD) equipment. The primary mission will be to develop materials on sputtering equipment. His secondary mission will be to work on electron gun and joule effect evaporation equipment. In collaboration with the IEMN research teams and the technical staff of the pole, he will have the task of developing, guaranteeing the durability and valorizing innovative processes in the flagship fields (sensors, IoT and microenergy, micro-nanoelectronics, MEMS/NEMS) of the laboratory. He will also ensure the safety of a specific environment (gas, RF, HT...).

Activities

Ensure the installation of the new sputtering equipment in collaboration with the project actors
Assist the existing technical staff in the management of the PVD (sputtering and evaporation) equipment in the clean room and its maintenance
Deposition and development of materials by PVD in collaboration with the cluster's IT and the laboratory's researchers
Characterize repositories with CPER actors
Create a process database accessible to users
Train the laboratory staff on the PVD equipment
Produce basic devices using the micro-nano-fabrication techniques available in the laboratory (lithography, deposition, etching)
Make presentations and reports on the progress of the work

Qualifications:

To fulfill this mission, this engineer will have :

General knowledge of materials science
Specific knowledge in the elaboration of PVD thin films (reactive sputtering, evaporation by electron gun and by Joule effect)
General knowledge in the field of characterization (SEM, ellipsometry, profilometry, EDX, DRX, AFM, XPS)
Basic knowledge of micro-nanofabrication
Knowledge of the risks and health and safety rules relating to the equipment and materials used (gas, chemicals, RF, HT)
Knowledge of vacuum techniques (primary vacuum, secondary vacuum)
Handling of gases under pressure
Mastery of the English language: oral and written expression and comprehension. Minimum level B1

Context:

The Institute of Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnologies is a laboratory whose core activities are focused on micro and nanotechnologies and their applications in fields such as information, communication, transport, energy and health. Under the aegis of three main supervisory bodies (CNRS, University of Lille, UPHF), the IEMN is located on different sites in Villeneuve d'Ascq, Lille and Valenciennes with a staff of 450 people (170 researchers and teacher-researchers, 65 engineers and permanent technicians, 140 theses in progress).

The Micro and Nanofabrication Center (CMNF) of the IEMN is a platform of the national network of large technology centers of the CNRS, RENATECH. It is open to internal and external academic and industrial users.
The agent will be assigned to the "Deposit and Epitaxy" division of the CMNF, under the responsibility of the division manager, Mrs. Isabelle Roch-Jeune.
