Visa / Relocation Details
We support relocation and immigration to make joining Lace as smooth and welcoming as possible.
This role is for a Computational Chemist/Physicist specializing in Beam-Surface Interaction at Lace Lithography, a company developing chip lithography technology. The main purpose is to simulate the chemistry involved in pattern creation, focusing on how resist materials interact with particle beams and how their electronic structure responds. The position involves modeling particle interactions and beam-induced surface modifications to optimize chip performance.
Key Responsibilities
Build a full resist simulation framework for various resist materials, integrating resist activation physics and etch-induced defect mechanisms into the Mask design ILT algorithm.
Model the interaction of a resist with metastable atoms to answer questions about physical models.
Relate the resist model and simulations to experimental data on resist characterisation and performance.
Work with the Patterning squad and external collaborators to optimise resist behaviour and performance.
Required Skills
PhD in Physics/Applied Physics or Computational/Physical Chemistry with a strong focus on quantum chemistry, surface science, including adsorbate layers, beam-induced surface modification and electron/molecule interactions.
Expertise in density functional theory (DFT), molecular orbital (MO) modelling, and related quantum simulation tools.
Strong coding skills in Julia, Python, C++, or scientific computing frameworks for integrating models into larger simulation pipelines.
Familiarity with professional software development processes such as Continuous integration and testing.
Nice-to-have Skills
Experience working with resists ideally in lithography R&D.
