Graduation assignments at IDS
All BSc and MSc graduation assignments in our group are directly related to our research. There are some assignments published on our intranet. But since our research is developing faster than our website, it is better to contact us directly for an assignment that fits both your and our ambitions.
Working at IDS
For general information regarding working and studying at the University of Twente and for specifics of Dutch immigration procedures and the like, please visit at the official information site of the University of Twente. If you want to know more about what it is like to be a PhD student at the UT please read this booklet by the PhD Network University of Twente. For students outside the EU, please have a look at the immigration procedures.
APPLYING IN GENERAL
Since PhD students are employed, we can only hire on open positions, of which we have 1 to 3 each year. If you want to apply in general for any upcoming PhD position, please send to our secretary:
- A brief letter of interest and motivation, including the date from which you will be available.
- Curriculum Vitae (listing the time of education/degrees and work experience and any relevant scientific publications).
- If English is not your native language, a document stating a overall band score of 6.5 in an academic IELTS-test (International Language Test) or TOEFL, internet based (TOEFL-iBT) of at least 90.
- The e-mail addresses of two references that we may contact, who are familiar with your academic work and can judge your potential to be a PhD student.
- Copies of exam results (both bachelor and master) and certificates.
- Copies of (up to 5) scientific works, including master thesis.
Current vacancies (IDS group and UT)
If there are open vacancies, they will be listed below:
full scholarship
The group IDS is open to prospective Ph.D. students who have secured a full scholarship to conduct research on the application of new materials into (CMOS) integrated circuits. Not only Electrical Engineering students, but also (Applied) Physics, Chemistry and Nanotechnology students with an M.Sc. degree are welcome.
We require good proficiency in English. Normally we require a certain minimum score on TOEFL or IELTS tests, which is essential for good cooperation in the research team. Further, we only accept students from highly-ranked universities with proven interest in our research domain. International experience is highly valued but no prerequisite.
Topics of research that we can facilitate in our group include, but are not limited to:
- Semiconductor device physics
- Semiconductor device modelling (TCAD, compact modelling)
- Novel transistor and diode ideas
- GaN, AlGaN, SiGe, Ge, ZnO, InGaAs transistors
- Above-IC technology
- CMOS post-processing
- Chemical Vapour Deposition: experimentation, equipment, modelling
- Atomic Layer Deposition: experimentation, equipment, modelling
- Plasma modelling
- Transport in nanometer-size conductors and semiconductors
- Characterization: Capacitance-Voltage, RF, current-voltage, optical, infrared
- Mechanical microsensors, especially high resolution force and acceleration sensors
- Microfluidic handling systems, i.e. micro flow sensors, multiparameter sensors and micro control valves
We have many plans, but we also welcome your own proposal for a research topic!
To apply, send us your motivation letter, CV, academic transcripts, TOEFL or IELTS score, and evidence of secured scholarship by e-mail.
