Berlin, Deutschland Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung Vollzeit

The Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung is currently looking for a

**PhD student (M/F/d)**

for the BMBF NanoMatFutur funded project “**All-GO-HEMT**” with the topic:
**“**In-Situ **Transmission Electron Microscopy of modulation-doped β-(Al**x**Ga**1-x**)**2**O**3**/Ga**2**O**3** heterostructures with high electron mobility for highly efficient power transistors”**

Starting time: January 2025

As a PhD student, you will contribute to the project by the structural investigation and analysis of bulk crystals, epitaxial layers and devices. The focus here is on in-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the determination of internal electric fields and, above all, the evaluation of interface quality. By doing so, we aim to provide valuable insights to material growth and device fabrication to improve the efficiency. The selected student will mainly work with the newly installed Thermo Fisher Helios Hydra UX dual beam and state of the art TEM Thermo Fisher Spectra Ultra with Thermo Fisher Illiad EELS sys-tem in IKZ’s Application Lab for In Situ Electron Microscopy (ALISE).

**The key responsibilities of the PhD student will include**:

- Developing and standardizing the workflow on sample preparation via focused ion beam
- In-situ TEM characterization including investigations of the structural/interface quality, chemical composition, phase homogeneity, band alignment and internal electric field
- Foster strong collaborations with scientists from epitaxial growth and electrical characterization to promote interdisciplinary research
- Develop an international reputation and broaden your experience and skills to prepare for your future career inside or outside academia on the one hand and to strengthen the experimental expertise of IKZ on the other

**The applicant must have the following minimum qualification**:

- A master’s degree and strong knowledge in physics, chemistry, crystallography, materials science, or a related discipline
- Basic knowledge of fundamental and solid-state physics
- Ability to work within an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and students
- Exceptional communication skills both verbal and written in English
- Effective analytic and problem-solving skills

**In addition, some of the following skills and qualifications would be preferred**:

- Experience in FIB sample preparation
- Experience in TEM characterization
- Experience in semiconductor physics with respect to electrical transport
- Experience in experimental work, sample handling and preparation
- Distinctive programming skills, preferably in Python, Matlab or C++

**What we offer**:
The position is embedded in the BMBF NanoMatFutur project “**All-GO-HEMT**”. Within this project, the position is available from January 1, 2025 and is limited to three years with the possibility to be extended by one year. Payment is according to TVöD Bund (E13 75%) (Collective agreement for the public sector). The contract includes the usual social benefits (30 vacation days in a 5-day week, flexible working hours). The Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung actively promotes the development of young scientists and follows the guidelines of the Leibniz Association.
