Project Description

Context :

The University of Sherbrooke, and particularly the Interdisciplinary Institute of Technological Innovation (3IT), has expertise in numerous cutting-edge fields of micro, nano, and optoelectronics. A 750 m² clean room, along with numerous specialized equipment, is available to research teams. Additionally, the 3IT hosts an international joint unit of the CNRS, the Laboratory of Nanotechnologies and Nanosystems (LN2), in partnership with several CNRS laboratories in France.
The internship work will be conducted within Professor Gwenaëlle Hamon's research group, which specializes in micro-fabrication processes and the characterization of optoelectronic devices such as solar panels, photodetectors, lasers, and more.



Main tasks :

Clean room work
Microfabrication including photolithography, plasma etching, thin film deposition etc.
Advanced characterization: SEM, AFM, profilometry, etc.
Electric measurements of optoelectronic devices
Weekly follow-up meetings with the research group



Your profile :

Ongoing master/engineering degree in physics, materials science, nanotechnology or a related field
Motivation to work in field of microelectronics and optoelectronics
Ability to work autonomously 
Interpersonal skills and ability to work in a team with individuals from diverse backgrounds
Assets: 
Knowledge of photonics, optoelectronics and semiconductor physics
Knowledge of microfabrication and advanced characterization methods
