Interfacial interactions between 2D materials and dielectrics

Master internship, PhD internship - Leuven | More than two weeks ago

2D transfer without polymeric interactions
Enablement of 2D materials require a wholistic approach whereby physical characterization of process development need to be validated at par with electrical outcomes. In this project we will be looking into interaction of surfaces with 2D materials in the presence of water and develop methods or means to improve adhesion at the interface. The development is core to the feasibility of scaling up 2D materials on a 300mm scale, especially those that are grown epitaxially on sapphire substrates.

The project will require hands-on lab work, including but not limited to wet benches, deposition and patterning tools in IMEC cleanrooms. All outcomes will require subsequent analyses and statistical validation, reporting to direct reports and, in the event of a wholistic outcome, summarize into a peer-reviewed publication.

Type of internship: Master internship, PhD internship

Duration: 6-12months

Required educational background: Chemistry/Chemical Engineering, Electrotechnics/Electrical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Nanoscience & Nanotechnology, Physics, Mechanical Engineering

University promotor: Clement Merckling (KU Leuven)
