PhD in a project called Advanced Laser Induced Subsurface Separation ALISS

The University of Twente is an entrepreneurial research university. It was founded in 1961 and offers education and research in areas ranging from public policy studies and applied physics to biomedical technology. The UT is the Netherlands’ only campus university.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering within the faculty of Engineering Technology is one of the largest departments of the university, with an enrolment of more than 300 students per year. The main ambition of the research of the department is the generation and advancement of scientific knowledge, applicable in Mechanical Engineering and other fields of engineering. This orientation on applicability naturally leads to collaborations with other departments and industry.

The Chair of Applied Laser Technology is part of the Mechanical Automation group and is dedicated to research in, as well as application of technology for high power Laser materials processing. The Laser material interaction is studied and process results are improved by sensoring and automation. New processes are developed for micromachining using ablation by femto- and pico second Laser pulses. Improvement of processes and process control are the objectives for laser processes such as cladding, welding and other processes.

Chair

The chair of Applied Laser Technology at Twente University is focusing on machines for the lasering of Materials. The physical aspects of laser material interaction with ultra short pulses are studied and processes are improved by sensoring and automation. The production of micro- and nano-structured surfaces with femto- and pico-second pulsed laser ablation is an emerging and promising technique for which continuously new applications are encountered that may result in completely new devices. It is e.g. applied to metal master surfaces that are subsequently reproduced by injection moulding, rolling or imprint methods. In general the results will contribute to bridging the micro-nano manufacturing gap. In addition to processes for material removal, mainly by ablation, attention is given to laser assisted material deposition of layers on a micro-scale.

Within this group there is a position for a

PhD in a project called Advanced Laser Induced Subsurface Separation ALISS

Background

As electronic packages shrink in size, integrated circuit packaged devices must be reduced both in footprint and thickness. The main motivation for the development of smaller packages is the demand for portable communication devices, such as memory cards, smart cards, cellular telephones and portable computing. One of the aspects of this tendency is that semiconductor dies and consequently wafers will be thinner, down to 20 µm. Below 200 µm separation introduces so much mechanical and thermal stress that the yield reduces to below economical acceptable levels. For efficiency of the use of silicium the sawing kerf-width should be reduced to 10-20 µm, a requirement that cannot be met by mechanical separation technologies. A possible direction for solving these problems is the use of laser modification of the semiconductor material in such a way that internal material modifications will act as breaking lines for the actual separation of the dies in the wafer. The first experiments in this direction have been done by industry and have shown that active laser control and focus control is essential to achieve precisely located material modifications. To further diminish the thermal and mechanical stress the use of ultra short laser pulses must be developed and the separation of the single dies must be developed to obtain good die strength and kerf edge quality

Project

The project focuses on research of a new cutting machine for cutting silicium with laser beams. The project is a cooperation between the University of Twente, Philips, TNO, CCM, Sioux, ALSI and VDL. The research of the group is mainly aimed at the possibilities of ultra short laser pulses. The ALISS project will develop the necessary technologies to make internal modification by multiple laser beams an enabling technology for the use of very thin and low–k wafers. As such the project will deliver a breadboard environment that will show that laser dicing is possible and that the technology can be transferred to an industrial production environment. The required laser and breaking processes will be developed as well as pre-prototypes for the execution of the processes

The ALISS project will show that material modification in semiconductor material can be effectively done with a multi-beam approach. This is essential as this unique feature will have a one on one relation with the productivity of the final system. Current approaches only use single beams and need to process dicing streets several times. The possibility to align dicing streets on the dice in stead of on the global wafer markers will make the ALISS concept robust to cope with the developments in assembly.

Profile

You have completed a master study in mechanical engineering, materials science, physics or equivalent You are proficient in spoken and written English. Background in laser technology is a plus. You have well developed social skills to co-operatively work in our research group as well as with the other partners in the project

Appointment and salary

We offer a challenging position at the interface between Applied Laser Technology and Mechanical Automation. You are offered a position for a period of 4 years. Your salary will be €2042.- gross per month for the first year, leading up to €2612,-gross per month in the 4^th year, according to the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. In addition, we offer our employees a broad package of secondary benefits.

2. Phd in symmetry, reduction and stability of mechanical systems
Description of the project:
The role that symmetry properties of a dynamical system play in its reduction to a (possibly) simpler system, and in the stability properties of certain of its solutions, is an important field of research. Whereas this topic has already been extensively dealt with in the case of Hamiltonian systems in a symplectic or, more generally, a Poisson context , the Lagrangian side of the story has always received much less attention in the literature.
The goal of this project therefore is to restore this balance in some sense by analyzing symmetry and reduction aspects in the context of Lagrangian dynamical systems. In particular, attention will be focused on so-called Routh reduction and Routh reduction by stages for invariant and quasi-invariant Lagrangian systems. The techniques will be illustrated on some concrete mechanical systems such as, for instance, a rigid body submerged in a fluid. The stability of relative equilibria will also be investigated in a Lagrangian setting. Finally, the extent to which the symmetry and reduction techniques for Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems can be modified or generalized in order to apply them to systems with non-holonomic constraints and to (non-Lagrangian) systems with dissipation, will also be investigated.

3. Phd position in process engineering of pharmaceutical production processes
This PhD project aims at developing mechanistic (and also empirical) process models for innovative pharmaceutical production processes (e.g., continuous processing, hot-melt extrusion, freeze-drying,…), and to exploit those models in the development of advanced process control systems. The research will be conducted in close cooperation with pharmaceutical companies. The ultimate goal is to develop processes that are continuously under control and hence allow real-time release.

During this initial period the student will meet with the GHRG periodically to be kept abreast of current projects but will have limited responsibilities in addition to full time study. Upon successful completion of this first term, the intern will begin work with the GHRG on a part-time basis. In addition to working with the GHRG the intern will begin working on his/her thesis and take a modified course load, satisfying all requirements for the Masters Degree by May of the following year. The timeline below provides an example of how the intern's time will be divided between activities.

Coverage

The internship program covers the full cost of tuition, administration fees, and books for the ZLOG program (approximately €22,000). In addition, the student will receive a monthly stipend of €1,050 upon successful completion of the first term.

Eligibility

This is a highly competitive position. The candidate must, at a minimum, fulfill all of the ZLOG admissions requirements (found at the end of this document) in order to be considered.
