Embedded in the Leuven Chem&Tech and Leuven Nanocenter facilities, the Ameloot group (http://amelootgroup.org/) studies different flavors of materials and applications and has been awarded ERC Starting and Consolidator Grants. The group is one of the founding members of the Leuven Institute for Micro- and Nanoscale Integration (LIMNI, https://limni.kuleuven.be/). Our research is focused on enabling applications through a fundamental understanding of material formation processes and properties. KU Leuven (University of Leuven) has been a center of learning for nearly six centuries. Today, it is Belgium's largest and highest-ranked university and, founded in 1425, one of the oldest and most renowned universities in Europe. The university caters to over 60 000 students from more than 140 countries. KU Leuven's three doctoral schools provide internationally oriented PhD tracks for more than 4 000 doctoral students. KU Leuven and affiliated knowledge institutes provide fertile ground for innovation and high-tech entrepreneurship in the Leuven region. This favorable climate for knowledge-driven entrepreneurship and innovation makes the Leuven region an attractive location for many high-tech companies. More info: http://amelootgroup.org/positions/
ResponsibilitiesWe are looking for a motivated postdoctoral research fellow to work on the vapor-phase deposition of novel resist materials for Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, starting from the insights from our exploratory study using metal-organic frameworks (see https://www.nature.com/articles/s41563-020-00827-x). This novel type of lithography is deemed to be the future of the semiconductor industry but requires novel materials to reach optimal performance in nanometer-scale patterning. Conventional chemically amplified resists that worked well in the past do not provide high-resolution patterning through EUV lithography. This limitation is mainly due to their multi-component chemistry and acid diffusion mechanism. ProfileWe are looking for:
