Job title:
Design Technology Co-Optimization Researcher
Company
Job description
Offer DescriptionAs a design-technology co-optimization (DTCO) researcher, you will explore and define the technology for sub-nm devices at the cell level through process- and layout-aware modeling and benchmarking.What you will doIn this position, you will be part of the imec department leading pathfinding of next generations semiconductor technologies, modelling and innovating with the most advanced CMOS devices and systems. As Design Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO) Researcher, you will be part of the device modelling (DEMO) team. This team takes a device-centric approach to pathfinding for future CMOS technologies in logic and memory. In this role, you will help the modelling of logic standard cells and memory bit cells: based on the layouts and integration schemes, 3D structures are simulated in TCAD then used to produce electrical compact models for both the device and the and RC parasitics due to the metal interconnects. These models are then used in circuit simulations to drive the optimization of future technologies through device-level Power-Performance-Area benchmarking. In this role, you will thus interact closely with TCAD modelling experts, integration engineers, technology and design experts. In addition, you will work closely with colleagues doing block level to full place-and-route evaluations of these technologies, working together to find multidisciplinary opportunities for improvements across design and technology.Where to apply WebsiteRequirementsResearch Field Physics » Electronics Education Level PhD or equivalentResearch Field Engineering » Electronic engineering Education Level PhD or equivalentResearch Field Engineering » Electrical engineering Education Level PhD or equivalentResearch Field Physics » Other Education Level PhD or equivalentSkills/QualificationsWho you are
