• Job Description

  Req#: R2410259

  Applied Materials is the leader in materials engineering solutions used to produce virtually every new chip and advanced display in the world. Our expertise in modifying materials at atomic levels and on an industrial scale helps our customers – who make smartphones, supercomputers, virtual reality headsets, autonomous vehicles and more – transform their ideas into reality. Our innovations Make Possible® a Better Future.

  Inside our company, we apply the idea of make possible as we work together. We value our people and teams who turn possibilities into reality by advancing our strategy, accomplishing great things and empowering others. We are deeply committed to fostering a Culture of Inclusion where every person knows they belong, feels empowered to bring their whole self to work, and is inspired to grow.

  Applied's Semiconductor's Products Group is looking for a Modeling Intern to join our team this summer in Santa Clara, CA. We are looking for someone with in-depth knowledge and experience in fundamentals-based modeling of atomistic processes.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Use molecular dynamics simulations to investigate leading-edge plasma etch and deposition processes or relevance to microelectronics fabrication.

  • Develop a quantum-chemistry framework to model processes where energetic ions and neutral radicals interact with surfaces, especially within nanometer-scale features.

  • Atomistic modeling of atomic layer etch and deposition. Interface with experimentalists (process engineers) to understand the highest value problems that can be understood using fundamental computational modeling.

  • Interface with modeling engineers to understand what species are generated in plasmas used for etching and deposition and their characteristics.

  • Interface with modeling engineers to understand how data from fundamental modeling can be used in Monto Carlo feature scale simulations.

  • Present results in group meetings.

  Requirements

  • Pursuing an advanced degree (MS or PhD) in Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical, Physics, or Chemistry

  • In good academic standing with a preferred GPA of 3.0 or above on a 4.0 scale

  • Ideally have used molecular dynamics or ab initio methods to investigate phenomena within materials or at surfaces at the atomic scale

  • Familiarly with plasmas, plasma – surface interactions, and ion interactions with materials is useful but not required

  • Familiarity with molecular dynamics modeling would be helpful

  • Ability to collaborate with other modeling engineers and experimental colleagues

  Compensation

  $41 - $52 per hour

  The salary offered to a selected candidate will be based on a number of factors including location and education level and will vary depending on confirmed job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
