Are you a master student in Mechanical Engineering or Mechatronics, looking for an internship? Are you curious to learn more dynamic modeling and Finite Element Method (FEM)? Do you have an affinity with mechanical design and experimental techniques? Are you skilled in tooling like CAD? Then this internship opportunity might be exciting to you!Background informationThere is a trend of chips becoming cheaper and shrinking of the feature sizes on chips (Moore’s law). In lithography equipment for fabrication of chips, this means a trend of tighter accuracy specs combined with increased excitation levels due to higher throughput. This creates a challenge for the vibration isolation systems within the ASML scanners. Dynamic stiffness (frequency dependent stiffness) can be used as a measure to characterize the isolation performance of such an isolation system. In this regard, the System Dynamics group, within the Mechatronics & Measurement Systems department, defines the dynamics architecture of the scanner including the vibration isolation systems. System Dynamics also develops the hardware for vibration isolation systems, like air mounts and dynamic links.Your assignmentFoil bellows consist of a thin crumpled plastic foil clamped between metal rings. They are used to separate two different vacuum regimes within an NXE scanner. They are also a special type of dynamic link: they are a parasitic stiffness parallel to the isolation system of the scanner. To achieve good vibration isolation, it is important that the foil bellows have a low dynamic stiffness. Due to system layout changes in the new generation of scanners, a redesign of the foil bellow is needed. Therefore, this assignment will be about dynamic qualification, improvement and/or redesign of foil bellow.Your tasks may include:Make a dynamic model of the foil bellow;Validate the model based on a dynamic stiffness measurement: a generic dynamic stiffness test setup is available at ASML.Adapt the dynamic stiffness test setup to enable foil bellow measurements;Update the model if needed.Redesign the foil bellow including modeling and (experimental) analysis.The redesign also could be a different concept than the foil bellow, as long as the vacuum separation and dynamic link functions are realized.Your profileTo be a match for this internship, you:Are busy with your master's in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a similar study;Are proactive and have a hands-on mentality;Are skilled in tooling like CAD (preferably Siemens NX);Have knowledge of dynamic modeling and Finite Element Method (FEM);Have an affinity with mechanical design and experimental techniques (e.g. data acquisition, FRF measurements, modal analysis);Have good communication skills in English (verbal and written).This is an internship for 4-5 days a week with a duration of 3 to 9 months. The start date is around September.Please note that we can only consider students who are enrolled at a school for the entire duration of the internship.This position requires access to U.S. controlled technology, as defined in the United States Export Administration Regulations. Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to access such U.S. controlled technology prior to beginning work. Business demands may require ASML to proceed with applicants who are immediately eligible to access U.S. controlled technology.Change the world – one nanometer at a timeBecome an intern at a Dutch company that’s a global industry leader. You’ll gain valuable experience in a highly innovative environment – one that sparks your imagination and creativity. In addition to a monthly internship allowance of maximum €600 (plus a possible housing or travel allowance), you’ll get practical guidance from experts in the field and the chance to work in and experience a dynamic team environment.ASML - be part of progressASML is a high-tech company headquartered in the Netherlands. We manufacture the complex lithography machines that chipmakers use to produce integrated circuits, or computer chips. What we do is at the heart of all the electronic devices that keep us informed, entertained and connected. Every day, you use electronics that simply wouldn’t exist without our machines.Behind ASML’s innovations are engineers who think ahead. The people who work at our company include some of the most creative minds in physics, electrical engineering, mathematics, chemistry, mechatronics, optics, mechanical engineering, and computer science and software engineering.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&DWe’re a global team
40,000 people with
140 different nationalities and counting. Headquartered in Europe’s top tech hub, the Brainport Eindhoven region in the Netherlands, our operations are spread across Europe, Asia and the US. 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 the opportunity to get to know not only the world of industrial-strength R&D, but yourself – you’ll discover just what 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?Diversity and inclusionASML is an Equal Opportunity Employer that values and respects the importance of a diverse and inclusive workforce.
