Missions
This postdoctoral position is part of the Carnot project. The aim of this project is to develop an innovative method for growing and transferring thick layers of gallium nitride (GaN) onto metal substrates for applications in power electronics
Activities
The growth of GaN on Al₂O₃ or Si substrates results in highly strained layers containing numerous defects. Consequently, a different approach is proposed, consisting of using hBN/Al₂O₃ pseudo-substrates for the growth of thick GaN layers and their transfer onto metal substrates. The objective of this position is to study the growth of thick GaN layers by metal organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) on hBN/Al₂O₃ pseudo-substrates. The candidate will examine different growth parameters as well as the stress in the epitaxial layers.
Skills
The ideal candidate should hold a PhD in engineering, physics or materials science, with experience in MOVPE epitaxy and characterisation
