INTERNSHIP:
Air-Bearing dynamic calculations in Comsol
Background information
Air bearings operate by isolating two solid structures
using compressed layer of gas. They are frequently
used in ASML machines, due to the advantages
such as clean technology, high operational speeds,
zero friction and no wear. The performance of air
bearing is commonly judged by its load-bearing
capacity and stiffness. Another key factor in air
bearing performance is its stability under external
dynamic loads. During this so called frequency
dependent loads, the air bearing behavior cannot be
accurately predicted using static calculations.
Your assignment
You will provide ASML with a better understanding
of dynamic behavior of air bearings and rules for
robust designs. You will:
Convert, extend and verify the existing
static Comsol model into a corresponding
dynamic model.
Include the verified model in an available
application builder of Comsol.
Extend the model/application to include
Porous based air bearings.
What ASML offers
Internship allowance of 500 euro (maximum) plus a
possible housing allowance of 250 euro. In addition,
you’ll get expert, practical guidance and the chance to
work in and experience a dynamic, innovative team
environment.
Join ASML
ASML is leading in the worldwide development,
production and sales of high-end lithography systems for
the semiconductor industry. Almost 10,000 people
worldwide work at ASML at offices in the United States,
Asia and at the corporate headquarters in Veldhoven.
ASML employees share a passion for technology with a
customer focus. At ASML, we work collectively to further
develop and implement complex and high-quality
technological systems. Working at ASML is therefore
challenging and dynamic, with ambitious objectives and
high standards key to our continuing success. But hard
work here pays off: ASML invests in the development of
its people and successes are shared. ASML promises
mutual commitment to our growth and yours.
Join ASML’s expanding multidisciplinary teams and help
us to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s
possible.
Your profile:
You are a Bachelor or Master Student in Mechanical
Engineering (solid mechanics), Physics or a related
discipline. You have interest in programming and are
familiar with finite element software like Comsol. You
have good communication skills and a hands-on
attitude. You have good knowledge of English, as
well verbal as written. This is a graduation
assignment with duration of 6 months, for 5 days a
week. The start date is as soon as possible.
Please keep in mind that for doing an internship at
ASML you have to be a student the entire period.
