PhD internship topic: TCAD Simulation, characterization & modelling of Germanium based photodiodes
Internship/thesis - Leuven | More than two weeks ago
Your chance to be part of the next generation of high quantum efficiency Ge photodiodes
Vertically illuminated Germanium based photodiodes can play a pivotal role in enabling next generation of sensor systems. Low leakage current and high quantum efficiency are essential towards achieving this objective. The leakage current in the current devices are a result of both bulk and surface recombination. Addressing the surface recombination would need the identification of the right surface passivation layer & integrating them in a device flow.
In this internship, you would be tasked with running TCAD simulations to identify the right device dimensions/parameters to minimize leakage current. You will also be required to do electrical characterization of devices (MIS CAP, Diodes) & share your findings with the project team. You may also be required to do optical characterization.
