Model tin plasmas computationally at INRS in Varennes, Québec, developing 2D hydrodynamic-radiative simulations for EUV sources at 13.5 nm.

This PhD position focuses on computational physics within the Centre énergie matériaux télécommunications. The project examines laser-tin interactions, plasma dynamics, and EUV emission processes. Experimental parameters will inform simulations, with validation using yield and spectroscopic data.

Key Responsibilities:

- Develop a two-dimensional hydrodynamic-radiative model
- Simulate laser-tin interactions and plasma expansion
- Model laser absorption and EUV emission processes
- Investigate wavelength, pulse duration, and time structure effects
- Validate simulations using yield and spectroscopic data

Requirements:

- Master degree or equivalent in physics
- General background in physics
- Interest in computational modeling of physical phenomena
- Preferably knowledge of plasma physics
- Valuable English language skills

Apply computational physics and plasma modeling to optimize tin-plasma EUV sources for next-generation nanolithography.
