The Semiconductor industry is driven by transistor down-scaling that provides the end-user with ever faster and less power using computer chips resulting in richer featured consumer products at affordable pricing. Measuring these small dimensions which are in the order of nano-meter is a challenge, and is even more so because of new materials besides silicon that are needed in these transistors. Not only dimensional analysis is needed, also chemical analysis and defects analysis at the atomic level. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) of thin specimens is using a suite of techniques such as Scanning TEM (STEM,) Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) and x-ray energy dispersive analysis (EDS) allowing to study materials properties at the level of the atomic scale.
Your task will be to support – and depending on your level of expertise – to guide process development teams by executing and interpreting TEM measurements. You will prepare the samples starting from single dies, using focused ion beam resulting in a thin specimen, observe these in the transmission electron microscope, analyze critical dimensions features, materials defects, and determine chemical composition of stacks. You will generate a comprehensive report that allows the process teams to use these observations to advance their development work.
All these tasks will need to be done, after a period of training depending on your initial level of expertise, in an accurate and independent way, working in a rotating shift regime to assure an optimal use of the equipment resources.
You obtained a master or PhD in materials sciences, physics, chemistry or bio-physics, and having one or more years of relevant experience in transmission electron microscopy in a university or industrial R&D lab environment is an asset. You are a good communicator, team player, and eager to learn. Your tasks are TEM sample preparation by focused ion beam, TEM observation, analytical STEM, EDS mapping analysis. Good report writing skills, good analytical skills and desire to learn more about new semiconductor materials and advanced structures are essential for a successful implementation of this role. Depending on the level of experience, you will also have a broader role in analyzing the incoming TEM requests and reviewing characterization reports prepared by other researchers / engineers. Specific trainings with the available configuration of TEM/FIB tools at imec is foreseen at the start of your assignment.

The aim of the APODISE project is to develop "Autonomous Portable Digital Secure Elements".
Indeed, secure elements as for instance smart cards require a greater portability, contactless uses, increased autonomy and significant extension of the life cycles.
The teams involved in this project will work on different steps of the fabrication as energy harvesting, protection against the environment and reliability of the components along the time. One of the main goal will be to harvest the surrounding energy to obtain completely autonomous cards. Different energy harvesting solutions will be developed in function of the nature of the energy (light, heat, movement or electromagnetic waves - especially radio-frequencies). Once the best solutions will be clearly identified, the next step will be to fabricate a prototype of a long life autonomous contactless smart card.
The young researcher will be involved at each step of the project.
The aim of the postdoc will be to characterize the chemistry and the structure of various components implemented in smart cards, their reliability and their ageing. He/she will need to formulate the best characterization strategy by combining the appropriate microscopy techniques depending on the chosen energy harvesting solutions like rectifying antennas, silicides and germanides and photovoltaic solar cells based on organic components, perovskites or amorphous silicon at the appropriate scale from a macroscopic down to an atomic level. Thus, the candidate will work in the microscopy centers of the University (CP2M and CIMPACA) where many equipments at the cutting edge of technology are available (SEM, FIB, TEM). Therefore, he/she will need a strong experience in various advanced techniques of electron microscopy. His/her time will be at 80% in the laboratory to prepare samples, perform electron microscopy studies and analysis. He/she will spend 20% of his/her time in Gemalto especially
at the end of the project to work in close collaboration with the company on the fabrication of the final prototype.

Delft University of Technology
Quantitative Imaging Group, Department of Imaging Physics, Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands
Postdoc position: Forward modeling and model validation for STEM tomography of semiconductors
Announcement date: 29 July 2014
Research description
The features in integrated circuits (IC) become so small that instrumentation with atomic scale resolving power is required for metrology and fault detection. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is the instrumentation of choice for the sub-22 nm generation IC. For identification of the atom type an energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) image is recorded at the same time as the Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) image. From both modalities together a fast inspection of the semi-conductor material should be made available.
The postdoctoral researcher will develop and validate a forward model for the simulation of both the electron and the element-specific X-ray images in STEM. Since the total inspection time is the most critical factor for IC device characterization, this model will be used to optimize the acquisition protocol based on IC blueprints. These simulations are also used to test and evaluate the advanced image reconstruction and analysis schemes developed by others in the project. The postdoc acts as the application specialist, integrating knowledge from electron imaging and semi-conductor applications. As such he/she should steer the development of acquisition and reconstruction schemes for fault detection in sub 22-nm IC's.
The research of this Postdoc position will be performed mainly at the Quantitative Imaging Group in the department of Imaging Physics of the Delft University of Technology. Here also a Ph.D. student will work on the image processing aspects of the 3D fault detection. Exchange and collaboration will take place with a second PhD. student and another Postdoc working at the center for mathematics and computer science (CWI) in Amsterdam under the supervision of Prof.dr. Joost Batenburg. The industrial partners FEI in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, and IMEC in Leuven, Belgium, will be strongly involved during the project as leaders in tools for nanotechnology.

Is sofa that reeks of mothballs making family sick?
People's Pharmacy on the dangers of mothballs, antibiotics for asthma and hand sanitizer as deodorant.
Syndicated columnists
Q: I picked up a couch of my Grandma's from my uncle. He'd kept it in the garage with a ton of mothballs.
I notice I've been feeling weird lately. My eyes are bothering me, and I have a headache, breathing problems and feel nauseated and dizzy. The aroma of mothballs is noticeable.
My wife also is feeling bad, and I am worried about the kids. Could that old sofa be making us sick?
A: It is possible. Most mothballs contain para-dichlorobenzene (p-DCB), a pesticide that goes from the solid mothball form to a gas that is toxic to moth larvae.
Exposure to the vapor can trigger irritation of the eyes and nose. High concentrations may lead to fatigue, headache, nausea and vomiting. P-DCB fumes can even affect the nervous system, causing weakness and a lack of coordination. This compound has some estrogenic activity and is considered an endocrine disruptor.
If children or pets swallow mothballs, they could be poisoned. It sounds like the free couch was no bargain.
Q: I had hard-to-treat asthma and was referred to an allergist who prescribed the antibiotic azithromycin. After I finished the first course, with some improvement, he prescribed another round. When I finished the second course, my asthma disappeared. I no longer have to use an inhaler.
A: Some cases of hard-to-treat asthma may result from a persistent lung infection (Current Allergy and Asthma Reports online, Oct. 3, 2013). Certain bacteria that are hard to diagnose or treat can cause wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing and other symptoms of asthma.
We have just published a book about using azithromycin for asthma treatment. The book, "A Cure for Asthma? What Your Doctor Isn't Telling You — and Why," is available at our website.
Another reader offered this report: "I heard about the extended use of antibiotics for asthma and convinced my doctor to try it. I improved my lung function dramatically and now, 18 months later, I only need my corticosteroid inhaler if I hang out with smokers. My doctor was amazed at the results we achieved with the antibiotic."
Q: I can't stand the smell of most deodorants, so I tried a hand sanitizer. It works very well. I had no odor at all, even by the end of the day.
The main ingredient is ethyl alcohol. Is there any reason I should not use it?
A: Many other readers have found that alcohol in one form or another can control underarm odor. One person wrote: "I've tried rubbing alcohol under my arms. It kills bacteria and works well, but I was not sure using it daily would be good for my skin. I now am trying vodka! It also kills bacteria. The smell is milder than the rubbing alcohol and is gone by the time it has dried, which is very quickly."
Our only concern about people using hand-sanitizing gels on their armpits is the other ingredients that might be included. Fragrances and benzophenones may have hormonal activity. Tocopherol (vitamin E) can sometimes be irritating to the skin.
Some readers also report that milk of magnesia makes a good, low-cost underarm deodorant without any aroma.

Good morning commuters.
I'll be keeping tabs on the roads and rails this morning and letting you know where you will encounter delays and problems. I could use your help, too.
If you see any congestions, delays, accidents or issues on the roads, send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or a tweet to @stribdrive.
Right now we have one accident on the system. That's on the ramp from Hwy. 61 to westbound 494. One vehicle remains on the ramp.
Weatherwise, we have no issues on the roads, and highways and freeways are in good winter driving condition. But it's cold out there with temperatures in the teens. Look for a mix of clouds and sun today, with a chance of snow tonight.

Lousy Tippers called out..
by Heather's Thingies
posted Oct 13 2011 7:25AM
A story about a bartender who got stiffed a tip, but had a note written on the receipt that she could lose a few pounds is the rumbles today. This is clearly not right. It's mean and hurtful. Unfortunately there are just some unhappy people in this world, who just want to bring others down. With the holidays coming, it's always good to brush up on what is considered a good tip for good service. There's a website www.lousytippers.com that has all the 411. This site suggests that you tip 20% or more for Good/Great service... 15% for average.. if it isn't that great, well not a big tip and a note why you didn't spread the money love to them. Only problem I have with the last one, should someone who gave you really crappy service get a tip at all? That is the drama you can have when presented the check.
Here's a a recommended tipping chart: I have found the bathroom attendant to be the most awkward. You may not have cash on you, but you need to use the restroom. Do you avoid going to the bathroom? Or stiff the attendant, who could make your next trip miserable? HHHMMM.. What do you think?

Ever heard that old saying that if your dog is fat, you need to get more exercise? I wonder if the dogs have a similar saying�.If your human is fat bring her your leash more often! I have 4 dogs and amazingly none of them are overweight, I work hard on getting them enough exercise and feeding them right but it doesn�t always include exercise on my part. So why don�t I do that for myself? Because failing myself doesn�t feel nearly as bad as failing them. They can�t take care of themselves. If I don�t fill the water bowl they go thirsty, if I don�t fill the food bowls they go hungry, if I don�t give them a bedtime treat�.they stare at me with big sad doggie eyes until I feel I should apologize for being such a failure as a parent!
So, here�s my challenge�can I treat myself like I do my pets? Love myself enough to eat the best food, get plenty of exercise and find those sunny patches on the floor to take a nap now and then? I�m going to give it a shot. And I know I�ll have at least 4 partners who will be ecstatically supportive about my new walking regimen!
