As part of the DIADEM PEPR, the HIWAY-2-MAT targeted project is dedicated to the combinatorial deposition of thin films and high-speed characterisation. The job involves the sputter deposition of thin oxide layers for applications in the field of X-chromium materials (thermochromium and electrochromium) and their physico-chemical characterisation using tools that promote high throughput and, in particular, structural studies by X-ray diffraction.

Activities :

• Deposition of thin films by sputtering – optimisation of deposition parameters, in particular in co-sputtering mode and combinatorial mode
• Physico-chemical characterisation of the layers
• Formatting and presentation of results
• Organising and leading meetings associated with the project and drafting minutes
• Liaise with partners, in particular the CEA-TECH team
• Participate in scientific communication and dissemination activities

Technical and scientific skills:

• Training and experience in the deposition of thin films by physical means and, if possible, cathodic sputtering
• Physico-chemical characterisation of materials
• Data processing using Python codes
• Good scientific knowledge
• Demonstrate a high level of rigour and responsiveness
• A good level of comprehension and expression in English

Operational skills:

• Ability to adapt and communicate
• Ability to work as part of a team, particularly in a partnership context
• Ability to interpret and write scientific notes
• Initiative and open-mindedness
