Physik Jobbörse Göttingen / ZEISS Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology (SMT)
Thursday, 11.09.2025 / 12:45 - 13:30
In this talk, Nils and Sebastian will give an overview on how ZEISS is systematically pushing the limits of what is possible. They will give insights into the tools used in organizing this with respect to technology and business development. Further they will show, what the “life of a physicist” can look like at ZEISS.
Speaker:
Nils Haverkamp
Nils is a physicist with roughly twenty-five years of experience in scientific instrumentation, optical metrology and advanced manufacturing. He earned his Physics degree at the University of Heidelberg focusing on instrumentation for nuclear and neutron research. During his PhD from the University of Hannover, he worked on femtosecond lasers as clockworks for atomic clocks. At ZEISS he worked in production technology development at ZEISS Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology, multisensor coordinate metrology systems at ZEISS IMT, and in the last years at ZEISS Corporate Research Technology as an Innovations Manager for manufacturing innovations.
Sebastian Vauth
After studying physics and completing his doctorate at the University of Göttingen in the field of solid-state physics - structure formation on thin layers of metallic glasses, Sebastian Vauth joined ZEISS Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology in 2008. Here he works as a research assistant in the development of optical machining processes. His main area of work is the development of algorithms, modelling and software, which is used to translate processing specifications into optimized machine-compatible recipes. This activity covers various products from DUV to EUV and takes place in interdisciplinary teams from development and production.
