Are you interested in a PhD position at UNIBO, co-funded by IMEC Belgium, in “Reliability and performance optimization of the d-mode HEMTs and Schottky barrier diodes in a p-GaN HEMT based GaN-IC platform”?

Please apply at https://www.unibo.it/en/teaching/phd/2022-2023/electronics-telecommunications-and-information-technologies-engineering

Brief project description: To unlock the full potential of the fast switching GaN power devices, it is advantageous to monolithically integrate the drivers and the GaN-based power devices, to reduce the parasitic inductance. The PhD position aims at optimize the performance and reliability of d-mode HEMTs and Schottky barrier diodes to be integrated with p-GaN HEMTs in an extended GaN-IC platform. The activity will be based on TCAD simulations, electrical measurements of DC and dynamic characteristics, and on-wafer reliability tests. The investigation should not only be based on experimental results, but supported by device physics insight in the underlying mechanisms.
