Delft University of Technology, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics & Computer Science
Delft, (Zuid-Holland), 38 hours per week
Job description
Bipolar transistors are the active devices of choice for advanced radio-frequency applications, such as upcoming telecommunication generations, radar and advanced THz imaging systems. In these applications, most advanced bipolar transistors will be applied. The study of these advanced electronic devices opens a myriad of topics in semiconductor device physics. The focus of the research will be on understanding and modelling hetero-junction structures applied in advanced transistors, as well as on the consequences of downscaling the bipolar devices, which, thanks to progress in modern semiconductor device technology, are entering the domain of nano-electronics.
Requirements
Required education/skills:University Graduate
The candidate has an academic MSc degree in physics, electrical engineering, applied mathematics or the equivalent. The candidate has an affinity with semiconductor device physics and for the combination of experimental work with mathematical analysis and modelling.
Job type: Research / Advising
Workfield(s):
- Research trainees, non-tenured lecturers, researchers
Organization
Delft University of Technology
Electrical Engineering, Mathematics & Computer Science
Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is a multifaceted institution offering education and carrying out research in the technical sciences at an internationally recognized level. Education, research and design are strongly oriented towards applicability. TU Delft develops technologies for future generations, focusing on sustainability, safety and economic vitality. At TU Delft you will work in an environment where technical sciences and society converge. TU Delft comprises eight faculties, unique laboratories, research institutes and schools.
The Laboratory of Electronic Components, Technology and Materials (ECTM) is part of the Department of Microelectronics and offers a multidisciplinary research environment with strong industry interaction. The Semiconductor Device Modelling section focuses on physics-based modelling of semiconductor devices. A central activity is the support and development of the World Standard model Mextram for bipolar transistors. Mextram is widely used in the semiconductor industry to support electronic circuit simulations. In our group, starting from physical principles and experimental data, we are developing an understanding of how electronic devices work in order to explain and model their electrical characteristics.
