Fraunhofer IAF is one of the world‘s leading research institutions in the field of III-V semiconductors and synthetic diamond developing technologies for use in communication, energy, mobility, industry and medicine. In our microelectronics department we assign a master thesis in the field of GaN power electronics.
The Masterthesis includes:
* RF-characterization of our proprietary GaN based HEMT technologies.
* Scalable compact device modeling of advanced high-power RF-HEMT-devices.
* Technology Computer Aided Design (TCAD) simulations of GaN HEMTs to improve output power and efficiency.
* Thermal simulation and estimation of thermal budget of high-power GaN RF-HEMTs.
* Design and characterization of high power HEMT evaluation circuits based on extracted model data.
* Literature research.
What you bring along:
* enrolled as a student in physics, electrical engineering or a comparable degree programme
* interested in challenging scientific content from experiment and theory
* enjoy scientific work
* ability to work in a team, openness and motivation to work independently
What we offer:
* A thesis at Fraunhofer IAF allows you to apply the knowlege you have acquired during your studies to specific research projects
* With us, you can work scientifically and gain project experience at the same time
* We offer modern laboratory equipment, supervision by experienced scientists and a variety of opportunities for further education
* By organising your working hours flexibly to suit your studies, we enable you to manage your time freely and independently
* There is a Frelo station (bike hire system) and a car park with an e-charging station right next to the institute
We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity.
