Open PhD Position
Compact Modeling of Reconfigurable Transistors
(full-time)
Payment depending on qualification up to salary group 13 TV-H
(approx. 60k€ … 65k€ per year)
The position in Prof. Dr. Alexander Kloes' Research Group Nanoelectronics/Device Modeling at Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM), University of Applied Sciences, Campus Giessen, is expected to be filled from May 2024 for a duration of 3 years. It is intended to enable the successful candidate to obtain a doctorate degree in a cooperative doctorate procedure between the THM University of Applied Sciences and the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV, Spain).
The project in the research field of microelectronics aims at compact modelling of reconfigurable MOS transistors. The goal of the project is the development of a DC/AC Verilog-A compact model for standard design tools to be used for new circuit design concepts in the field of hardware security. Starting point is a physics-based analytical compact current model for Schottky Barrier Transistors which has already been published by the research group at THM. The task is part of a joint project with academic and industrial partners in areas from device technology to logic synthesis. Beside TCAD simulations, for verification by measurements, the project is in close collaboration with a global company for the fabrication of test structures.
Your Tasks:
- Research in the field of microelectronics and physics of semiconductor devices
- PhD project on the development of a compact model for reconfigurable MOSFETs
- Implementation in standard design tools in close collaboration with partners
- Participation in teaching and general tasks of the group is expected
- Master’s comparable degree in Electrical Engineering or Physics
- Excellent theoretical knowledge and practical expertise in the field of solid-state electronics and physics
- Good knowledge in mathematics
- Good programming skills
- Good English language skills are necessary, basic German language skills are desirable
- A stimulating and interdisciplinary research environment with very good infrastructure
- Flexible working hours
- Offers for the compatibility of family and career
- Attractive advanced training opportunities
- Free use of public transport within the scope of Hessian state
