As part of the development of our technology, we are looking for a work-linked student to take part in improving the performance of our diamond-based devices for power electronics applications. 

To demonstrate the maturity of our technology, we are designing, among other things, Schottky diodes capable of delivering high current densities in on-state, withstanding high operating voltages in off-state, and without degradation at high temperatures (up to 300°C). 

In charge of electrically characterizing the fabricated diodes, you will extract their operating parameters both in forward and reverse bias. You will also be responsible for simulating the behavior of the Schottky diodes using TCAD-type software, based on the finite element method. The experimental parameters extracted will be used to calibrate the simulations. A better understanding of the operation of the diodes will result in higher current density and maximum voltage values than are already obtained. 

This work-study position offers you the unique opportunity to compare experimental data with simulation predictions, while developing a wide range of high-value technical skills.
