Graduation assignment: Improve a nano-/micrometer particle wall Job Description

Introduction
This is a graduation internship for a master's student in Mechanical Engineering, Material Science or (Applied) Physics who has affinity with particle behavior and is interested in improving a model on the interaction between a wall and a particle.

Job Mission
Defectivity is a top concern for customers as they prepare to take EUV into high volume manufacturing. If a particle more than a few nanometers in size lands on the mask, it distorts the image, causing a so-called defect. The result will often be that the chip that the customer is manufacturing won't work.
To prevent this from occurring, certain measures are applied in the EUV scanners to stop particles from being able to reach the mask like suppressive gas flows and geometric shielding. Significant modelling is performed to develop and qualify these measures, where the way that particles bounce and stick on hardware is an important element. This involves particle adhesion and elastic-plastic deformation of the particle

Job Description
Within ASML a model has been developed where the interaction between a wall and a particle has been described which can be used in for instance CFD simulations. New data from experiments performed for ASML and from new literature has shown that there are inaccuracies in this model. Your task would be the following:Perform an extensive literature study on particle wall interaction, focusing on experimental data with which the model can be validated.Improve the model such that the there is a better agreement with experimental data.Documentation of the full process, way of working, model user guidelines and results

Education
We are looking for a master’s student in Mechanical engineering, Material Science or (Applied) Physics that has affinity with particle behavior and a passion for technology.  A must is that you have a proactive and progressive mindset and are able to work well within a team environment. Experience in programming (MATLAB, C) is a plus.
This is a graduation internship with a duration of a minimum of 6 months.  

Please keep in mind that we can only consider students (who are enrolled at a school during the whole internship period) for our internships and graduation assignments. 

Other information
What ASML offers
Your internship will be in one of the leading Dutch corporations, gaining valuable experience in a highly dynamic environment. You will receive a monthly internship allowance of 500 euro (maximum), plus a possible housing or travel allowance. In addition, you’ll get expert, practical guidance and the chance to work in and experience a dynamic, innovative team environment.

ASML: Be part of progress
We make machines that make chips – the hearts of the devices that keep us informed, entertained and safe; that improve our quality of life and help to tackle the world’s toughest problems.
We build some of the most amazing machines that you will ever see, and the software to run them. Never satisfied, we measure our performance in units that begin with pico or nano.
We believe we can always do better. We believe the winning idea can come from anyone. We love what we do – not because it’s easy, but because it’s hard. 

Students: Getting ready for real-world R&D
Pushing technology further is teamwork, and our R&D team is more than 5,500 people strong, with major sites on three continents. Dozens of diverse, interdisciplinary teams work in parallel to meet a challenging development schedule. 
In such an environment, your colleagues may be sitting next door, or they could be thousands of kilometers away in a different country, or even working for a different company.
An internship at ASML is your opportunity to get to know this world of industrial-strength R&D and get a feel for that excites you most. Will you design a part of the machine, or make sure it gets built to the tightest possible specifications? Will you write software that drives the system to its best performance, or work side-by-side with the engineers of our customers in a fab, optimizing a system to the requirements of the customer?

How will you be part of progress?
