What are the common responsibilities and collaborations in an atomic layer deposition role?

Professionals working in Atomic Layer Deposition are often responsible for operating and maintaining ALD tools, optimizing deposition processes, and conducting analysis to verify film quality. They routinely collaborate with research scientists, process engineers, and sometimes fabrication or quality control teams to integrate ALD processes into larger projects. Daily tasks may include tweaking process parameters, troubleshooting equipment issues, and documenting experimental results. This environment fosters cross-disciplinary teamwork, problem-solving, and ongoing learning as technology and applications advance.

What is an atomic layer deposition?

An Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) job involves working with thin-film deposition techniques used in semiconductor manufacturing, nanotechnology, and materials science. Professionals in this field operate and maintain ALD equipment, develop deposition processes, and optimize thin-film properties for specific applications. They may work in research and development, production, or quality control to ensure precise and uniform coatings at the atomic scale. Key responsibilities often include process troubleshooting, equipment calibration, and collaboration with engineers and scientists.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed for an atomic layer deposition position?

To thrive in Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) roles, candidates need a solid background in materials science, chemistry, or engineering, along with experience in thin film deposition and vacuum systems. Familiarity with ALD equipment, process automation software, and analytical tools like ellipsometry is typically required, and relevant industry certifications can be beneficial. Strong attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and effective teamwork enhance performance in this field. These hard and soft skills are vital to ensure precise film growth, maintain equipment reliability, and achieve high-quality results in research or manufacturing environments.

Job description

Post Doc Research Associate Department of Physics & Astronomy
City: West Lafayette
Job Description:
Job Summary
Quantum Device Fabrication
The Quantum Semiconductor Systems Group under the direction of Prof. Michael Manfra seeks a scientist with expertise in semiconductor nanofabrication to support several projects related to the development and characterization of semiconductor and semiconductor-superconductor hybrid devices used in the study of abelian and non-abelian phases of matter and the development of topological qubits. This position focuses on innovative device fabrication for quantum technologies. Strong interest in construction of novel devices is essential. The position is funded as a post-doctoral fellowship with a minimal term of two years. Extension may be possible contingent upon future funding.
Previous hands-on experience with semiconductor device fabrication is required. Experience working with high resolution e-beam lithography, optical lithography, atomic layer deposition; thin film metals deposition, and scanning electron microscopy are considered highly desirable.
Responsibilities
Responsibilities include development of semiconductor device fabrication processes utilizing the cleanroom facilities of the Birck Nanotechnology Center located at Purdue University. Accurate documentation and effective communication of all procedures and results to the larger research group are essential aspects of the position. The successful candidate may be required to assist with the training of less experienced personnel in the correct operation of equipment and 'best-practices' in semiconductor processing.
Qualifications
A successful candidate should have:
  • M.S. or PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or related Engineering discipline
  • Previous hands-on experience with semiconductor device fabrication, including e-beam lithography, optical lithography, atomic layer deposition, thin film metals deposition, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy.
  • Proven ability to develop new semiconductor process steps/flows leading to significantly improved device performance and/or enabling new device types.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills.
  • Strong attention to detail and good organizational skills.
  • Strong desire to work in a collaborative research program.

Interested candidates should email Professor Michael Manfra at mmanfra@purdue.edu and include a CV and a list of two potential references.
