Doctoral Thesis: Dynamic Effects in Power MOSFETs (f/m/div)*
At a glance
The industrial doctorate at Infineon: Pursue a doctoral degree at a university and gain professional experience simultaneously - an ideal start for your career. Advance your research with us and profit from our vast network of doctoral candidates and the expertise of a university. Mentorship is handled by both professors and dedicated Infineon experts. In this doctoral thesis project, you will investigate the fast-switching behavior of MOSFETs, thus contributing to improving the performance and reliability of new and existing products. This is a great opportunity for a motivated graduate to become a power MOSFET expert and contribute to applied research in power semiconductors. Your PhD title will be granted by the University of Twente, the Netherlands. Your academic supervisors from the University of Twente have many years of experience in simulations, modelling and applications of power MOSFETs. They will support you with technical training and help you in the planning of the PhD milestones and in writing high-quality publications.

Job description
The tasks within the thesis will consist of:
* Development of test structures
* Identify the critical parasitic regions in the chip layout, with focus on the gate pad and edge termination regions
* Simulate the electrical behavior of the parasitic regions using electrical TCAD simulations
* Design a complete set of test structures for wafer level parasitic characterization
* Dynamic transmission line pulse (TLP) characterization of test structures
* Characterize the fast-transient behavior of the parasitic test structures on a TLP setup
* Convert the characterization data in a compact model for use in distributed SPICE and mixed-mode TCAD simulations
* Development/extension of virtual prototyping software
* Extend the MOSFET distributed model developed by the dynamic MOSFET team to include additional layout parasitics in the gate pad and edge termination regions
* Integrate measured and simulated data from different sources in the virtual prototyping platform
* Applications of virtual prototyping
* Predict the failure mechanism of power MOSFETs under different operating and load conditions
* Implement chip level design modifications to improve the dynamic behavior in target applications
Start: 01.08.2021 (or later)
Full-time employment: 38.5 hrs/week
Duration: 4 years
Profile
A doctoral student is a research enthusiast,
* whose interests are scientific research combined with the passion for Infineon's innovative products and applications.
* who enjoys working in an industrial environment in combination with an Infineon partner university.

Furthermore, we would appreciate:
* A background in semiconductor device physics
* Experience with semiconductor simulation software (TCAD, SPICE)
* Experience with layout tools, such as Cadence or KLayout
* Knowledge of design of experiment (DOE) methods, statistical data analysis and their application to real world problems
Please attach the following documents to your application:
* Your CV
* Motivation letter
* Copy of your master degree certificate if already available; ottherwise: copy of your latest study transcript
This position is subject to the collective agreement for workers and employees in the electrical and electronics industry. The salary for this position is EUR 2.865,00 gross p.m. (full-time basis).
About Us
Part of your life. Part of tomorrow.
We make life easier, safer and greener - with technology that achieves more, consumes less and is accessible to everyone. Microelectronics from Infineon is the key to a better future. Efficient use of energy, environmentally-friendly mobility and security in a connected world - we solve some of the most critical challenges that our society faces while taking a conscientious approach to the use of natural resources.
- Power & Sensor Systems (PSS) drives leading-edge power management, sensing and data transfer capabilities -
Infineon PSS semiconductors play a vital role in enabling intelligent power management, smart sensitivity as well as fast and reliable data processing in an increasingly digitalized world. Our leading-edge power devices make chargers, adapters, power tools and lighting systems smarter, smaller, lighter and more energy-efficient. Our trusted sensors increase the context sensitivity of "things" and systems such as HMI, and our RF chips power fast and reliable data communication.

At Infineon in Villach you shape the technologies of tomorrow and work in an international environment with more than 3700 colleagues from over 65 nations. Your personal contribution will be valued and appreciated as the cornerstones of our success. And all that in beautiful surroundings which guarantee a high quality of life.
The City of Villach is located in the center of Carinthia, Austria's southernmost province, in close proximity to the Italian and Slovenian border. Living in Austria has many social, health-care-related and economic perks. The country's social and health care system is among the best in the world and for decades numerous international surveys have singled out Austria as a particularly safe and wealthy country with a high quality of life. Villach itself benefits from its status as a "small town", offering everyday living at affordable prices in an outstanding setting.
