［NCTUEE Talk］Overview of Beyond CMOS Research at imec
.
Invite you all to come if available. It will be a good opportunity to enhance our collaboration with imec.

Title: Overview of Beyond CMOS Research at imec
Speaker: Dr. Iuliana Radu
Time: July 7th, 10:30AM
Place: R528, Engineering Building 4, NCTU 交通大學工程四館5樓528室
.
Bio: Dr. Iuliana Radu is Distinguished Member of Technical Staff leading the Beyond CMOS activities at imec, Belgium. Prior to establishing the Beyond CMOS program in 2013, she was a Marie Curie and an FWO fellow at KU Leuven and imec. Her current research includes devices with 2D materials and new device concepts (such as majority gates and spintronics). During her postdoctoral work she has studied the metal-to-insulator transition and ionic and electronic transport in functional oxides for memory and logic applications.
.
Iuliana has received a PhD in Physics from MIT (Boston, USA) in 2009 where she worked on the Fractional Quantum Hall effect and searched for non-abelian quasiparticles. She has received an MSc and a BSc in Physics from the University of Bucharest. She has authored over 70 papers in leading peer-reviewed journals and conferences. She has given more than 20 invited talks at international conferences and seminars.
.
Abstract: We will give a brief overview of the research topics currently active at imec focusing on Beyond CMOS activities. We will discuss the progress we are making in the growth and characterization of 2D materials and report on device fabrication with these materials touching on key issues such as contact resistance and gate dielectric growth. The last part of the presentation will be dedicated to spintronic devices and interconnect and their benchmarking at circuit level with standard CMOS technology in terms of performance.
imec phd 在 [錄取] 大齡IMEC/KU Leuven ML PhD - 看板studyabroad 的推薦與評價
[前言]
我一直對科學研究有興趣，本科跟現在學的也轉了很多次
算是誤打誤撞，從大氣科學走到物理光電，現在又因緣際會到了ML的領域
最先開始是想做EUV來到這個組(2020-2021在IMEC實習跟寫論文)
後來想繼續往研究發展時，原本部門今年度開了兩個缺，一個是EUV光阻的研究
(算是跟以前做的比較相關) 另一個是用ML來研究製程的各種問題
由於，在台積做過短暫製程，深感AI如果能幫大家少撈一點資料，多一點自動化
該有多好，就向以前老闆表示想挑戰同部門另一個老闆的這個題目
(但我完全沒有data science或是CS背景)
真的很感謝未來的老闆願意相信我，以及前老闆的引薦。

[Recommendation Letter]
IMEC 前老闆*1
現任公司主管*1
[心得]
其實除了這個PhD我只有零星丟了幾個歐洲的研究計畫
主要是歐洲的博士通常被當作研究助理在聘用(像IMEC雖然是透過KU Leuven給錢)
KU Leuven的博士生基本上是比較研究助理的錢(獎學金不課稅，所以拿RA稅後的錢)
而IMEC更多的時間是在公司工作，本身有一個200mm及300mm晶圓廠(八吋/十二吋)
當然跟台積比起來，可能連一個Phase的規模都比不上
但是比起學校，進階的儀器是應有盡有
CD-SEM/TEM/AFM/Ellipsometry/....
甚至也有一台EUV Scanner做研究用 (雖然ASML的人表示: NXE3400甚麼古董XDD)
由於已經工作過了，我是想往產業的RD發展，而非學術發展，才選擇IMEC
很幸運的過去部門的小老闆跟大老闆幫忙，即便我的第一志願不是回到他們的麾下
我想還是受了一臂之力吧！
面試總共兩關
未來的Daily Supervisor先一面 (12月)
在二面前又被找來聊天一次(可能確定我志向，以及給定二面的paper)
(2月)
由於二面就是最終面，IMEC又是填志願(最多三個，我只填了ML 以及前老闆的題目)
即便我表示對ML比較有興趣，還是個收到一篇Paper請我報告
並在報告完問完問題後，被要求在口頭告知志願序(當著過去老闆面前XD)
3月收到IMEC Admission告知要申請KU Leuven博士
(對的，是公司先說要收你，再請你到KU Leuven的網站申請)
5月收到KU Leuven的Admission
6月收到獎學金證明，才可以辦簽證
預計8月開工
