Project Description
The fellow is a part of the听Quantum Nanophotonics Group at NIST Boulder, and works to听develop听advanced integrated technologies in support of the CHIPS Act. The group uniquely combines expertise in superconducting electronics, integrated photonics, and semiconductor devices. Some of the fellow's key responsibilities are, but not limited to, conducting advanced fabrication processes to realize chips that integrate superconducting electronics, integrated photonics, and semiconductor devices, developing new fabrication processes as the need emerges during a fast-paced R&D program, working primarily in a cleanroom environment while learning and using a wide range of fabrication technologies, skills, and techniques including electron beam lithography, photolithography, semiconductor device processing, thin film deposition and etching, and more, performing in-situ process metrology/measurements to improve yield, performance, and reliability of devices (scanning electron microscopy, ellipsometry, atomic force microscopy, and more), and performing听detailed characterization of devices in the groups laboratory space that is specially designed for superconducting and photonic measurements.
