Purpose of the role

Every chip we fabricate has to be inspected and probed before it can contribute to our research, and today each diced chip is handled and aligned one by one. As our nanofabrication moves from 2-inch to 4-inch wafers, this step weighs more and more on test time. In this internship, you will design and test the tools and procedures that make chip alignment faster and more reliable, and you will help the nanofabrication team scale up.

This internship will start in January 2027 and last for 4 to 6 months!

Responsibilities:

• Propose and design solutions to pre-align diced chips before visual inspection and probing
• Source and procure the hardware tools needed for chip pre-alignment
• Learn and put to use the automatic alignment procedures of our visual inspection microscope and probe station
• Test the complete visual inspection and probe testing workflow, and check that alignment works correctly
• Verify that test data flows to the repository without errors, and improve the process where needed
• Write specifications and document your results
• Present your findings to the nanofabrication community at Alice & Bob
• Write or update the related Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

Requirements:

• Currently enrolled in a Licence Pro in Microtechnology, Test or Nanofabrication
• Available for a 4–5 month internship, ideally starting in January 2027
• Proficient in English
• Some knowledge of clean room environments and microfabrication (semiconductors, superconductors) is plus

Benefits:

• 1 day off per month
• Half of transportation cost coverage (as per French law)
• Meal vouchers with Swile, as well as access to a fully equipped and regularly stocked kitchen
