About this position

Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) emission at 13.5 nm from tin plasma is essential for next-generation nanolithography in the semiconductor industry, but optimizing its conversion efficiency (CE) is challenging. Understanding how laser parameters, such as wavelength, pulse duration, and time structure, influence plasma dynamics and EUV yield is crucial for designing more efficient, compact, and robust EUV sources. This project aims to develop a 2D hydrodynamic-radiative model to simulate laser-tin interactions, taking into account laser absorption, plasma expansion, and EUV emission processes.

This model will use experimental parameters as input and will be validated using yield and spectroscopic data.

Context: Advanced packaging technologies are at the core of the microelectronics revolution and play a key role in areas such as artificial intelligence, aerospace, and high performance computing. Among these technologies, Fan Out Wafer Level Packaging (FOWLP) stands out for its high interconnection density and efficient use of space, enabling more compact and powerful systems. Hybrid bonding, combining polymer dielectrics with metallic interconnections, is a crucial enabling step. However, copper based approaches face challenges related to oxidation and high processing temperatures. This PhD
