PhD Position: 3D Interconnects for Quantum Processor Units
Develop advanced 3D integration technologies to scale quantum processors and improve their performance.
Best for:Best for candidates with a strong background in physics, materials science, or microelectronics interested in quantum hardware.
Overview
This PhD position at Université Grenoble Alpes, hosted within the CEA-LETI laboratory, focuses on developing 3D interconnect technologies for next-generation quantum processors. The research aims to address critical scaling challenges by utilizing techniques such as flip-chip bonding, multi-layer wiring, and through-silicon vias (TSV). The successful candidate will work at the intersection of materials science, technology, and physics to characterize the electrical and radiofrequency properties of these interconnects. The role involves designing test vehicles, managing fabrication processes, and conducting low-temperature measurements to assess their impact on quantum device performance.
