Offer Description

NaMLab gGmbH is a research organization and associated institute of the Technical University Dresden. NaMLab provides industry-oriented and basic research in material science for electronic devices. Based on its key expertise in dielectric materials for semiconductor devices NaMLab focuses on the integration and application of materials applied to reconfigurable and energy efficiency devices. NaMLab‘s approach of placing the device rather than the material system itself into the center of its research activities differentiates it from other world-class material research activities in the Dresden area. Additionally, it allows taking full advantage of the already existing expertise by forming orthogonal consortia. It therefore fills the gap between basic materials research and its application towards electronic circuits and systems.

 

One major research area at NaMLab is materials development of GaN for microelectronic applications. NaMLab is looking for a PhD student/ scientist in the field of doping of GaN-crystals grown by Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy (HVPE) to strengthen our activities in this research field. Together with an industrial partner NaMLab is pushing this concept since 2012 and running research on fundamental materials properties and investigating scalability and industrial potential. The research will focus on investigations on the effect of templates and doping on the growth of GaN-crystals. It will include the analysis of the crystal morphology and internal stress. Additionally, topics of scalability of wafer diameter and crystal thickness have to be investigated. The research will be conducted in our research lab in Freiberg in close co-operation with our research partner. The results of the scientific work shall be used to obtain a PhD in Electrical Engineering at the TU Dresden.
