Offer Description
Developing magnetic tunnel junctions on magnetic vias produced using microelectronics technologies
- Develop, carry out in a clean room, and monitor the nanofabrication of electrical contacts for individual memory points
- Carry out and analyze magnetic and electrical characterizations of memory points or their subcomponents. Techniques will include, for example, magneto-optics, vibrating sample magnetometry, magnetic force microscopy, or electron holography, manual or automatic point testers
- With the assistance of simulation experts, perform spintronic micromagnetic simulations of memory points and analyze them
- Write reports, draft publications, and give oral presentations
The SPINTEC laboratory has 120 staff members dedicated entirely to spintronics. The position will be assigned jointly to the Spin Textures and MRAM teams, under the supervision of Olivier FRUCHART and Kevin GARELLO. The position will interface with the theory team and the technical teams. The mission will be part of the ANR M-bed-RAM project work program, interfacing with a CEA project conducted jointly with CEA-LETI, which is in charge of and will supply the lower part of the magnetic memory points on 300mm silicon technology. The project duration is one year with the possibility of an 18-month extension.
- Significant experience in experimental nanomagnetism and spintronics
- Experience in cleanroom technology
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team
- Good command of English and scientific English, both spoken and written
- Ability to supervise doctoral students or interns
