*Nanoscale Device Modeling Research Positions*

*IBM India Semiconductor Research and *

*Development Center, Bangalore, India.*


 The IBM India Semiconductor Research and Development Center invites
applications from outstanding scientists/engineers for multiple positions in
the area of nano science and technology at IBM, Bangalore, India. The
candidates are expected to contribute to the design, theory, and modeling of
next generation semiconductor nanodevices. The research and development work
involves atomistic modeling and Technology-CAD of nano devices.


 *Atomistic/Quantum Effects in Nanodevices :*


 This work involves theoretical understanding of quantum effects in 22 nm
scale devices; these include carrier transport, geometry and material
dependent bandstructure calculations, role of metal and high-k material
interfaces, role of high-k on bandstructure and related phenomena to enable
development of 22 nm scale devices.


 Candidates to be considered for this area are required to have a strong
understanding of semiconductor physics and quantum effects in nanodevices.
The candidates are also expected to have a strong background in devices
physics, electronic structure methods, numerical programming, hands on
experience with ab-initio modeling tools, and computer programming in mixed
language environment.


 *Technology – CAD : *


 This work involves the improvement and development of an IBM proprietary
tool for the simulation of leading edge semiconductor devices. In
particular, physical and numerical models for carrier transport influenced
by *e.g.*, channel materials, strain, high-k materials, and crystallographic
orientation on device performance will be developed and implemented.


 A comprehensive knowledge of modern device physics is essential to this
position, including both FET and BJT device operation, as well as bulk and
SOI device structures. Also, a good background and understanding of quantum
phenomenon relevant to semiconductor nanodevices is essential.


 *Computer/Software Skills* – Demonstrated proficiency with C++, C, and Tcl
are required, and experience with team-based large scale software design is
desired. Familiarity with concepts related to numerical solution of PDEs,
and the ability to realize robust numerical implementations of
semiconductor-related physical models in discretized form, are highly
desired. Experience with scientific computation on massively parallel
computer architectures is a plus. Familiarity with the Linux and/or AIX
operating systems, as well as the AFS file system, would be an added plus.


 *Qualifications :*


 Interested applicants for the above regular research positions should have
a Ph.D/MS in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Computer
Science, or Theoretical Materials Science. Please send your resume to,

kotamurali at in.ibm.com
