In het kort–In overleg38 uurWOGeplaatst op 09 december 2024Reageren kan t/m 29 januari 2025De link om te solliciteren staat in de vacaturetekst.DepartmentFaculty of Science and EngineeringOrganisationRijksuniversiteit Groningen, University of Groningen, V24.0323Job descriptionTopic of research: Friction-switchable surfacesComputer chips are the building blocks of all modern technology. The smallest structures on the most advanced chips are currently 5 nanometers. ASML’s EUV (extreme ultraviolet) scan technology enables the scale of the smallest feature to be reduced even further. Hence, wafer positioning becomes a crucial issue.In this PhD project we would like to study different alternatives to achieve switchable/controllable friction and develop wear-resistant smart-coatings with self-adaptive friction properties. The goal is to decouple the low friction WLG requirements and the high friction needed for the thermal load cases, with a greenfield investigation on options to make switchable friction coatings activated by different techniques.OrganizationSince its foundation in 1614, the University of Groningen has enjoyed an international reputation as a dynamic and innovative centre of higher education offering high-quality teaching and research. Balanced study and career paths in a wide variety of disciplines encourage currently more than 34,000 students and researchers alike to develop their own individual talents.
