Post-doc
Novel vertical power diode :
The post-doc position is funded by GOSPELS ANR project which aims to design a novel vertical p-MgNiO/n-AlGa2O3 power diode, optimized for high power electronics. Whitin GOSPELS the candidate will investigate the fundamental materials properties of β-(Al)Ga2O3 & (Mg)NiO. The activities will be focused on theoretical and numerical modeling and simulation that will be then shared with the experimental partners. Density Functional Theory and/or Many-Body Perturbation Theory will be used to provide the band-structures and dielectric functions for the bulk semiconductors (Ga2O3 and NiO), successively the same approach will be used to investigate MgNiO and AlGa2O3. AlGa2O3/MgNiO heterojunctions at the device level will be investigated using COMSOL Multiphysics and SILVACO.
