What are the responsibilities and job description for the Neuromorphic materials and computing Devices and platforms position at Zintellect?
About the Research
This research position focuses on low power electronic devices and circuits. As the challenges with computing reaches its limits, due to power scaling challenges of today's transistor technologies, a desperate need for development of new approaches to high performance computing is needed. In this research program we attempt to develop neuromorphic devices based on ferroelectric FETs and electrochemically gated devices. To achieve the objectives of this research program we seek to select motivated, competent, and skillful candidate that can move this project forward. This opportunity will expose the candidate to a multidisciplinary research program that spans materials development, device design and integration, and circuit development. The candidate is expected to have an in-depth knowledge of device physics and basic circuit design. The basic Qualifications for this position include experience with fabrication and characterization of FETs and memory devices, experience with electrical and material characterization techniques, experience with material growth and device integration techniques (e.g. ALD, sputtering, and UHV deposition).
Keywords: FeFETs, Embedded memory devices technologies, brain inspired computing, Device physics, electrochemical RAMs
