🎓 PhD scholarship on the “Development of student’s competences in semiconductor education” available with Rinn Semiconductors and based at Dublin City University

🔎 Rinn Semiconductors is part of a constellation of seven major new centres funded by Research Ireland, which collectively represent an investment of €460M in advanced research by the Government of Ireland. Rinn Semiconductors aims to lead Ireland’s response to the end of Moore’s Law scaling, the point where traditional improvements in computer chips slows down or ends, by pioneering modular integrated circuit-based (chiplet-based) semiconductor design and integration. With deep expertise in the areas of Heterogeneous Integration and Advanced Packaging, the Rinn Semiconductors team propose to enable transformative advances in these technologies and to apply them in three main application areas: Future Internet, Sustainable Energy and Environment, and Digital Healthcare. A key objective of the Rinn is to foster deep collaboration across the seven universities and institutions involved, by leveraging the semiconductor fabrication facilities at Tyndall, ultimately creating a cohesive “atom to systems” value chain in Ireland, connecting everything from basic materials research through to complete technology solutions. The Rinn will operate in close collaboration with Ireland’s vibrant semiconductor industry sector which supports 20,000 high skilled jobs and includes world leading multinational companies, small and medium sized enterprises and start-ups.

📝 This PhD project is aligned with RINN Semiconductor’s commitment to engaged research, with a vision to raise awareness of the critical role that semiconductor technologies and applications have for today’s society towards addressing global challenges such as energy, climate, sustainability, healthcare.
