This postdoctoral project at the University of Twente focuses on the physics of wafer-to-wafer bonding for future 3D chip integration . The work addresses an important challenge in semiconductor technology: understanding how surface properties and wafer morphology influence bonding quality, rather than relying on empirical optimization alone. You will develop and validate experimental methods to study wafer bonding in a quantitative, physics-based way. The project combines bonding measurements w...

This postdoctoral project sits at the intersection of experimental atomic physics, precision optics, and quantum technology. The work is embedded in the University of Amsterdam’s Institute of Physics and the Strontium Quantum Gases Group, led by Prof. Dr. Florian Schreck, and is carried out together with the group’s spin-off OpticsFoundry B.V. and in collaboration with the Nonlinear Nanophotonics group at the University of Twente. The project focuses on developing technology to robotically manuf...
