Applied Scientist (KTP Associate), Engineering
In collaboration with Test Incorporated Limited, we have an exciting opportunity at the University of Aberdeen, with the School of Engineering for a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) Associate.
Plasma Physicist (KTP ASSOCIATE), Natural & Computing Sciences
This 2.5 year (30 month) Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP), co-funded by Innovate UK and Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology (OIPT), will employ state-of-the-art numerical modelling techniques, in combination with experimental verification, to assess and optimise plasma-assisted silicon carbide (SiC) wafer polishing processes in an industrial context. The project aims to develop and validate a rapid, targeted, cleaning process for plasma processing reactor tools to reduce equipment downtime and use of environmentally damaging materials. The transfer of plasma chemistry, modelling and simulation capabilities, and the creation of a digital model, will directly facilitate process optimisation and increase company market share. The successful candidate, hereafter referred to as the Associate, will lead and manage detailed numerical assessments of complex plasma-surface interactions and subsequent carbon impurity generation, transport, and re-deposition in an OIPT plasma-assisted SiC polishing reactor. This will be facilitated by the creation, and verification, of plasma-surface chemical reaction mechanism and embedding it within an existing numerical framework.
