Abstract: In this paper, we present the effect of different sub-mm and mm-wave probe geometry and topology on the measurement results of dedicated test-structures calibrated with on-wafer TRL. These results are compared against 3D EM simulation of the intrinsic test-structures. To analyze difference between the measured and intrinsic EM simulation results, onwafer TRL calibration performed on EM simulation results of a dedicated test-structure is also presented.

Ph D student scholarship about compact modeling at URV (Tarragona, Spain)

We offer one scholarship for a Ph D student position in the Department of Electronic Engineering in the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV), in Tarragona, Spain.

The duration of the grant will be for three years. The monthly salary will be about 1000 Euro/month, which is more than enough to live in Tarragona. The position will start between January and April 2019.

The candidate should have a Bachelor or Master degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering or Physics. A good background in Semiconductor Physics, Semiconductor Devices, or Integrated Circuit Design will be highly appreciated.

The work to be done by the candidate will be focused on the development of new techniques of characterization and modeling of novel advanced semiconductor devices, in particular nanoscale MOSFETs under cryogenic conditions for Quantum Computing.This work will be carried out in collaboration with a research team in IMEC in Leuven (Belgium).

The NEPHOS group at URV is one of the most powerful teams in Europe in the area of compact modeling of semiconductor devices.

Required documents for applicants

Applicants are required to send to the address specified below the following documents (in English or Spanish):

1) a full Curriculum Vitae (as complete as possible) with passport number

2) Copy of their diploma

3) copy of their passport

4) Academic certificate including their marks (it is important that the number of hours or credits of each subject appears). It is also very important that the document specifies what is the minimum mark for passing a given subject and what is the maximum mark that can be awarded.

Candidates are requested to send their documents by e-mail to:

Tarragona is a medium city (100000 inhabitants) with a Mediterranean climate and many recreation opportunities (nice beaches, theme parks, nature preserves, mountain hiking, touristic resorts and facilities). It is located 100 km Southwest of Barcelona, and it is very well connected by train, bus, highways and even low cost flights from its own airport.
