Jülich, Deutschland Forschungszentrum Jülich Vollzeit

**Your Job**:
This position focuses on the deposition and characterization of 2D materials and layers stacks by metal organic chemical vapor deposition using a commercial MOCVD system from AIXTRON SE. The understanding of the growth processes and the layer interaction is crucial for a successful transfer of a full layer stack from the growth substrate to the silicon chip. Your tasks in detail are:

- Growth studies of 2D layers and layer stacks built from graphene, hexagonal boron nitride and transition metal dichalcogenides by metal organic chemical vapor deposition on sapphire and related substrates
- Characterisation of the different stages of growth and careful analysis of the layer quality by means of nanoanalytical techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, Raman and photoluminescence, and photoemission spectroscopy
- Analysis of the intra
- and interlayer interactions
- Optimization of growth towards 2D heterostructures formed from continuous layers with well-controlled interfaces
- Active exchange with collaboration partners
- Publication of results in peer-reviewed scientific journals and presentation on project meetings and at conferences

**Your Profile**:

- Excellent Masters degree in Physics, Chemistry, Material Science or Electrical Engineering with focus on nanoelectronics technology
- Profound knowledge on solid state physics, semiconductor physics and chemical vapor deposition technology
- Team-oriented and highly motivated for learning and working in an experimental laboratory
- Independence and a willingness to make a major commitment, characterised by a very reliable and conscientious working style and a strong ability to work in a team
- Experience in laboratory work, preferably working in a clean room
- Experience in programming, preferably with Python
Fluent speaking and writing skills in English and German
To apply, please submit a complete CV, letter of motivation and university degree records (both Bachelor's and Master's degree).

**Our Offer**:
We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change We offer ideal conditions for you to complete your doctoral degree:

- Access to a strong research network at FZJ, such as the Helmholtz Nanofacility (HNF), electron microscopy at the Ernst-Ruska-Zentrum, and the Jülich Supercomputing Centre
- Access to a strong research consortium of NeuroSys (Phase II) built by FZJ, RWTH Aachen University, AMO GmbH, AIXTRON SE, and other partners
- The opportunity to help shape the future within the Cluster for Future NeuroSys II
- Optimal conditions for balancing work and private life as well as a family-conscious company policy
- 30 days of annual leave and provision for days off between public holidays and weekends (e.g. between Christmas and New Year)
- The opportunity to work flexibly (in terms of location), e.g. partly remote work
Targeted services for international employees, e.g. through our International Advisory Service
