PhD candidate for 300mm CMOS compatible quantum technologies

Developing innovative technology solutions and bringing them to application - that is our goal at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS. With our expertise in the development of photonic microsystems, related technologies including nanoelectronics and wireless communication solutions, we create - in flexible and interdisciplinary teams - technologies for innovative products in a wide range of markets such as automotive, industrial, aerospace and defense.

The conducts research on 300 mm wafers for microchip producers, suppliers, equipment manufacturers and R&D partners in clean room and laboratory areas at the "An der Bartlake" site. The CNT offers process and technology developments as well as services at Ultra Large Scale Integration (ULSI) level in the FEoL and BEoL area of various CMOS technology nodes.

group pursues the enablement of CMOS-related quantum technologies using a lab-to-fab approach. Promising concepts from basic research are examined with regard to their technological transferability to the 300mm tool platform of the IPMS-CNT and implemented as required.

Calling all Junior scientists in quantum technologies! Are you looking for the possibility to apply your curiosity and academic knowledge to the fast evolving field of quantum technologies?
