Clement Merckling

Principal Member of Technical Staff, imec

Clement Merckling obtained, in 2004, a Master degree in Microelectronics from the Higher Institute for Electronics and Digital Communication (ISEN) and a second Master degree in Material Sciences from the University of Lille. He obtained in 2007 a PhD in Material Sciences from the Ecole Centrale de Lyon. His PhD thesis between INL/CNRS laboratory and ST Microelectronics company was focused on the Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) of oxides on Si substrates for high-k gate dielectrics in advanced CMOS devices. Afterward, as postdoctoral research associate from the University of Leuven (KU Leuven), he joined the IMEC Ge/III-V exploratory program working on MBE gate dielectric. During the period 2008 - 2013, he worked as scientist and then as senior scientist, driving the Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) activities including III-V semiconductors heteroepitaxy, high-k oxide growth and passivation studies for high-m channels (III-V & GeSn). In 2013, as a principal member of technical staff, he took the technical lead of III-V epitaxy activities for the IMEC Logic and Photonic programs, focusing on the selective area growth of III-V compounds on Silicon by Vapor Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE). Through the fundamental understanding of the heteroepitaxial processes, world-first III-V FinFET devices and III-V Laser devices monolithically integrated on Silicon were demonstrated at IMEC. Since 2018, he is focusing on exploratory materials grown by MBE and Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) for beyond CMOS devices.
