Job description: Vacancy

The Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) is the National Metrology Institute of the Federal Republic of Germany with scientific and technical service tasks. It furthers progress and reliability in metrology for society, economy and science.
For the Working Groups "Mask Metrology" and "Modelling Scanning Microscopy" of Department "Dimensional Nanometrology" in Braunschweig, we are looking for a
graduated physicist or graduated engineer
(electrical or mechanical engineering - or similar - Technical University)
to join us as soon as possible for a research project in the field of dimensional precision metrology. The post is limited to three years. The tasks are in compliance with the characteristics of Salary Group IIa BAT, the remuneration will be paid according to the regulations of the TVöD. It is possible to obtain a doctor's degree at a remuneration of 85%.
Our profile:
Working Group "Mask Metrology" deals with the investigation, development and application of measurement procedures and measuring instruments for high-precision linewidth and position metrology on lithography masks with electron-optical and scanning probe microscopic methods. Working Group "Modelling Scanning Microscopy" is responsible for the simulation of signal contrasts of high-resolution scanning microscopy for dimensional metrology and develops, e.g. for electron microscopy, optimised Monte-Carlo simulation methods and programmes. Due to the introduction of new lithography processes, the requirements on dimensional metrology with SEM have significantly increased so that experimentally, as well as for SEM modelling, new approaches must be pursued. We work in a dedicated team and have access to an excellent infrastructure.
Tasks:
You will be dealing with the development and systematic experimental investigation of high-resolution structure probing in the SEM for the determination of the width, shape and location of nanostructures on lithography masks as a function of different imaging parameters. Furthermore, these tasks require you to work on the simulation of the interaction of primary electrons in 3-D nanostructures as well as their electron-optical imaging in the SEM. Your tasks comprise independent, as well as team-oriented scientific work and the presentation and publication of the results within an international scope.
Requirements:
The tasks require completed university studies of physics or engineering (electrical or mechanical engineering, Technical University) with the grade "good" or "very good". Ideally, you have practical experience and extended knowledge of one of the following fields: electron microscopy, Monte-Carlo simulation methods or dimensional metrology. You are dedicated and able to work in a team; you have good knowledge of the English language and would like to work on a cutting-edge research topic within a project involving leading industrial partners.
Fitness for working in a measuring room and in a cleanroom is required.
