Contexte et atouts du poste

The exploitation of nanostructuring in order to improve the performance of CMOS imagers based on microlens grids is a very promising avenue. In this perspective, numerical modeling is a key component to accurately characterize and optimize the absorption properties of these complex imaging structures which are intrinsically multiscale (from the micrometer scale of the lenses to the nanometric characteristics of the nanostructured material layers). The present PhD project is proposed in the context of a collaboration between the Atlantis project-team of Inria research center at Université Côte d'Azur and STMicrolectronics (CMOS Imagers division of the Technology for Optical Sensors department) in Crolles. A Cifre funding will support this project.

The objectives of the project are to design a fast electromagnetic simulation approach based on a model reduction technique, to characterize numerically the light trapping in digital imagers exploiting nanostructured pixels and, a multi-objective optimization strategy of the geometrical characteristics of the nanostructuring in order to simultaneously maximize the light absorption in a pixel and to minimize the crosstalk phenomenon between neighboring pixels. For the first time, in addition to the rigorous methods for solving Maxwell's equations, we will be able to benefit from an alternative simulation approach based on model reduction. This new approach can be used in an optimization process and the expected gain in total computation time would be between 10 to 1000.

Mission confiée

Atlantis is a joint project-team between Inria and the Jean-Alexandre Dieudonné Mathematics Laboratory at Université Côte d'Azur. The team gathers applied mathematicians and computational scientists who are collaboratively undertaking research activities aiming at the design, analysis, development and application of innovative numerical methods for systems of partial differential equations (PDEs) modelling nanoscale light-matter interaction problems. In this context, the team is developing the DIOGENeS [ software suite, which implements several Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) type methods tailored to the systems of time- and frequency-domain Maxwell equations possibly coupled to differential equations modeling the behaviour of propagation media at optical frequencies. DIOGENeS is a unique numerical framework leveraging the capabilities of DG techniques for the simulation of multiscale problems relevant tonanophotonics and nanoplasmonics.

The core of the present study is concerned with reduced-order modeling for time-domain electromagnetic wave propagation problems. In short, reduced-order models (ROMs) are simplifications of high fidelity, complex models. They capture the behavior of these source models so that one can quickly study a system's dominant effects using minimal computational resources. The starting point will consist on some preliminary works and contributions that the team has obtained during the recent years by considering a particular reduced-order modelling technique known as the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method.

In the POD approach, a reduced subspace with a significantly smaller dimension is constructed by a set of basis vectors extracted offline from snapshots that are extracted from simulations with a high order DGTD method. By doing so, a non-intrusive POD-based ROM has been developed for the solution of parameterized time-domain electromagnetic scattering problems. The considered parameters are the electric permittivity and the temporal variable. By using the singular value decomposition (SVD) method, the principal components of the projection coefficient matrices (also referred to as the reduced coefficient matrices) of full-order solutions onto the RB subspace are extracted. A cubic spline interpolation-based (CSI) approach is proposed to approximate the dominating time- and parameter-modes of the reduced coefficient matrices without resorting to Galerkin projection. The generation of snapshot vectors, the construction of POD basis functions and the approximation of reduced coefficient matrices based on the CSI method are completed during the offline stage. The RB solutions for new time and parameter values can be rapidly recovered via outputs from the interpolation models in the online stage. In particular, the offline and online stages of the proposed RB method, termed as the POD-CSI method, are completely decoupled, which ensures the computational validity of the method. Starting from these previous contributions, the present study will aim at two objectives: one one hand, the efficiency improvement, as well as the development of the proposed non-intrusive ROM methodology for three-dimensional (3d) parameterized time-domain electromagnetic scattering problems; on the other hand, the study of possible strategies for dealing with geometrical parameters.

Moreover, the recruited PhD student will also be exposed to alternative physics-based alternative numerical modeling in the framework of modal approaches developed at STMicroelectronics. These modal type methods are part of the reference simulation methods routinely in this industrial context.
