Abstract: The Spiro-OMeTAD is an excellent candidate for application as hole transport material (HTM), but its high hygroscopicity, inclination to crystallize, and fragility to moisture and heat make it unsuitable for solar cells. Thus, it is of interest to inves-tigate other HTM candidates. In this paper, the use of p-type InGaAs as hole transport material (HTM) has been suggested to enhance the performance of perovskite-based solar cells (PSC). The simulation of a hybrid CH3NH3PbI3/InGaAs planar heterojunction perovskite solar cell is performed using the Silvaco ATLAS simulator. In order to confirm the predictability of the proposed simulation methodology, the conventional ITO/TiO2/MAPbI3/Spiro-OMeTAD structure is simulated, and shows good coherence with experimental results. The proposed design using InGaAs as HTM outperforms the conventional device in terms of short-circuit current density (JSC) of 37.2 mA/cm2, open-circuit voltage (VOC) of 1 V, fill factor (FF) of 80% and high value of efficiency. In addition, the findings show that with In content of x = 0.7 the efficiency will improve to reach a value of about 30%.

Ph D scholarship about semiconductor device modeling in Tarragona (Spain)

 We want to get one scholarship for a Ph D student position in the Department of Electronic Engineering in the Department of Electronic Engineering in the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV), in Tarragona , Spain. The subject of the Ph D would be o the development of new techniques of characterization and modeling of nanoscale semiconductor devices, in particular two-dimensional semiconductor devices, (which are one of the most promising device structures for downscaling to 1nm), in particular transistors or memristors. It will be related to funding research projects in which the hosting group participates.

The duration of the grant will be 3 years.

The candidate should have a  Master degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering or Physics, obtained between January 1 2020 and October  2022. A good background in Semiconductor Physics, Semiconductor Devices, or Integrated Circuit Design will be highly appreciated.

Applicants must send to my e-mail address (benjamin.iniguez@urv.cat), and by November 9 2022, a CV together witha copy of the academic certificates indicating the grades obtained for all subjects during their studies (both Bachelor Degree and Master Degree).

Tarragona is a medium city (100000 inhabitants) with a pleasant Mediterranean climate and many recreation opportunities (nice beaches, theme parks, nature preserves, mountain hiking, touristic resorts and facilities). It is located 100 km Southwest of Barcelona, and it is very well connected by train, bus, highways and even low cost flights from its own airport.

My research group in the Department of Electronic Engineering, Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) is one of the strongest groups in compact modeling in Europe. We have led or are leading several national and European projects targeting semiconductor device characterization, physics and modeling.
