Master graduation internship - Detector sensors

Introduction

Are you a Master student in Electrical Engineering? Do you have an interest in image sensors and camera technologies, such as CMOS and CCD, and machine vision? Then this internship might be interesting for you.

Background Information

You will be working in the sector Development & Engineering (D&E) of ASML, which is responsible for the specification, design, and realization of the products in the ASML portfolio. Within the sector D&E, the department Electronics Development (EL) is responsible for the definition, realization, qualification and integration of electronic functions and modules. The department of Sensors and Light Sources that you will be part of, focuses on the design, development, qualification, and integration of different sensors and sensor sub-systems in our systems.

Your assignment

Within the Level Sensor function, we use a triangulation method to determine the height of the wafer. Machine vision can be used for the detection functionality. We are looking into image sensors that can be used for this application.

As an intern your assignment will be:

• An investigation on different CCD and CMOS cameras and the specifications of their image sensors.

For this assignment you will:

• Investigate the market possibilities and limitations of this kind of sensors.
• Investigate physical boundaries of the technology and define potential customized solutions.
• Link the image sensor limitations to system requirements.

• Write a report with the results found, conclusions and proposed way forward.

Your profile

To be the perfect match for this internship, you:

• Are a Master graduation student in Electrical Engineering or similar fields.
• Have an understanding of camera specifications (pixel size, sensor sensitivity, resolution…)
• Have knowledge or affinity to image sensors, CMOS/CCD technologies, machine vision and image data processing.
• Familiar with analytical software (e.g. MATLAB, Python...)
• Are motivated and eager to learn and look for ways to obtain information and data to perform the analysis: reach out to experts, read specifications, analyze datasheets, etc.
• Are proactive and a team-player.
• Have good communication skills in English, both written and spoken
   

Other requirements you need to meet:

• You are available for 4-5days/week for a duration of 6-9 months

Other requirements you need to meet

• You are enrolled at an educational institute for the entire duration of the internship. 

• You need to be located in the Netherlands to be able to perform your internship. In case you ‘re currently living/studying outside of the Netherlands, your CV/motivation letter includes the willingness to relocate. 

• If you are a non-EU citizen, studying in the Netherlands, your university is willing to sign the documents relevant for doing an internship (i.e., Nuffic agreement). 

This position requires access to controlled technology, as defined in the United States Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. § 730, et seq.). Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to access such controlled technology prior to beginning work. Business demands may require ASML to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible to access controlled technology.
