Masterthesis: GaN-Based RF Power Devices

vor 2 Wochen


Freiburg im Breisgau, Deutschland Fraunhofer Vollzeit

Fraunhofer IAF is one of the world‘s leading research institutions in the field of III-V semiconductors and synthetic diamond developing technologies for use in communication, energy, mobility, industry and medicine. In our microelectronics department we assign a master thesis in the field of GaN power electronics.   What you do: Master’s thesis topics in the area of RF power devices and circuits are based on our in-house GaN HEMT technologies and reflect our research interests, which currently include the following areas: Packaged / integrated high-power amplifiers with output power levels in the kW-range. Integrated power amplifiers (e.g. Doherty PAs, Wideband PAs) for SatCom or 5G/6G. Multi-functional transceiver MMICs and their individual building blocks (e.g., LNAs, PAs, mixers, frequency multipliers, phase shifters, attenuators, power detectors, …). Design and optimization of active devices (diodes, HEMTs) for emerging applications and frequency bands. Characterization and thermal / electrical modeling of active and passive devices.   What you bring along: You are enrolled as a student in physics, electrical engineering or a comparable degree programme. You are interested in challenging scientific content from experiment and theory. You enjoy scientific work. The ability to work in a team, openness and motivation to work independently and purposefully round off your profile.   What we offer: A thesis at Fraunhofer IAF allows you to apply the knowlege you have acquired during your studies to specific research projects  With us, you can work scientifically and gain project experience at the same time We offer modern laboratory equipment, supervision by experienced scientists and a variety of opportunities for further education By organising your working hours flexibly to suit your studies, we enable you to manage your time freely and independently There is a Frelo station (bike hire system) and a car park with an e-charging station right next to the institute   We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity. Severely disabled people will be given preference if equally qualified. The position is initially limited to 6 months. The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft plays a central role in the innovation process by focussing on key technologies relevant to the future and on the exploitation of the results in business and industry. As a signpost and driving force for innovative developments and scientific excellence, it helps to shape our society and our future.  Have we piqued your interest?
