Working Student in advanced electrical and magnetic characterization of novel spintronic materials

Developing innovative technology solutions and bringing them to application - that is our goal at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS. With our expertise in the development of photonic microsystems, related technologies including nanoelectronics and wireless communication solutions, we create - in flexible and interdisciplinary teams - technologies for innovative products in a wide range of markets such as automotive, industrial and aerospace.

The Spinbased Concepts (SBC) group develops new concepts based on the magnetic spin of particles. Novel non-volatile data storage devices such as STT, SOT, VCMA-MRAM and Racetrack are the focus of current research and development. In addition to the integration of the components described above, the group's core competencies are the deposition of Angström-thin layers to form a magnetically functional stack with approx. 40 individual layers and magnetic analysis at film and device level.

What you will do

• Electrical Characterization of transport measurements in advanced material stacks and magnetic tunnel junctions via CIPT
• Magnetical Characterization of film stacks for various devices via VSM
• Support for Wafer level metrology (particles, film thickness, resistivity) and lab analytics (SEM, TEM, XRD, …)
• Literature study on recent realizations of spintronic devices like STT, SOT or spintronic sensors
• Summary of data, correlation of measurement to process variations

What you bring to the table

• Studies in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Microsystems Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience in magnetic and electrical characterization and/or semiconductor manufacturing is a plus.
• Willingness to engage in constructive team collaboration.
• Strong commitment, reliability, self-motivation and the ability to work independently and in an organized manner.
• Proficient in English communication skills, both verbal and written

What you can expect

We offer you an exciting topic and individual support in the preparation of your thesis by experienced employees. A motivated and dynamic team awaits you in a very well equipped, research and development environment. In addition, we offer you connecting points within the framework of your studies or your career entry, e.g. a topic for your thesis or the beginning of your career at Fraunhofer IPMS. We support you!

The weekly working time is a maximum of 20 hours and is to be coordinated flexibly. The position is initially limited for 1 year. A long-term collaboration is strived.  We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity. Severely disabled persons are given preference in the event of equal suitability. Remuneration according to the general works agreement for employing assistant staff.

With its focus on developing key technologies that are vital for the future and enabling the commercial utilization of this work by business and industry, Fraunhofer plays a central role in the innovation process. As a pioneer and catalyst for groundbreaking developments and scientific excellence, Fraunhofer helps shape society now and in the future.
