Abstract:
A funded PhD position is currently available to prepare and test high frequency transistors using GaN based materials. The position is co-sponsored by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and Technology (IRCSET) and would start in October 2010.
Description:
The student will be involved in the growth of the GaN layer structures using a brand new epitaxy tool at Tyndall, and in the fabrication of the devices using the cleanroom facilities. Devices will be tested for their performance both using the laboratories at Tyndall, and in collaboration with senior engineers at the ESA. The student will have the opportunity to spend extended periods in the Netherlands on the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) Campus as part of the programme.
