Industrial PhD in Advanced packaging for high voltage and high temperature applications (m/f/d)
Description of the Activities
The PhD candidate has a great opportunity to participate in top of the line research and development activity in new advanced packaging area of power electronics.
This research activity is focusing on the development and characterization of component embedding concepts for high voltage and high temperature applications. The target is to develop and verify the long-term reliability of new and innovative packaging concept that can be used with silicon and wide band gap components. The concept should be capable to be used with various different types of prepackaged power dies e.g. SiC, GaN, IGBT, etc (up to 1200V, 160/180/200 °C junction temperatures). The main idea of the concept is the prepackage the power die or several dies inside a molded or other type of prepackage that is after wards embedded inside a multilayer PCB board
The main topics of the work are to research, evaluate and characterize prepackage and prepackage embedding concept. The work includes material research, simulation, electrical and thermal characterization of the new package concept and reliability verification of the manufactured samples.
Characterization of the concept e.g.
- Test vehicle definition including test structures for relevant parameters
- Electrical and thermal characterization of the embedding concept
- Electrical and thermal simulations
- Material research and characterization methodology
- Material testing and characterization in high voltage and high temperature applications (PCB material, TIM and isolation material)
- Dependence of reliability from manufacturing/process parameters, material quality (e. g. from curing temperature, pressure, time; ionic contamination of material, moisture uptake of material, etc.)
- Lifetime prediction based on accelerated dielectric stress tests, or combined dielectric stress tests, deducted from mission profile. Allowing fast and effective screening of materials respective optimization of process parameters
Reliability and lifetime prediction e.g.
- Verifying the long term reliability and time depended dielectric breakdown (TDDB)
- Define the possible failure mechanisms
- Dielectric degradation mechanisms and models: partial discharge (PD), CAF (conductive anodic filament), surface isolation resistance (SIR)
Activities will be mainly performed at Huawei Nuremberg Research Center Power Device lab in Nuremberg, Germany and in the selected manufacturing location. Regular meetings will be held with the University with the purpose of analyzing the results and the progress of the PhD.
Requirements
- You hold a Master degree in electrical/electronic engineering, applied physics, material science or polymer chemistry
- Strong knowledge of power electronics, semiconductor device physics, thermal management and reliability testing
- Good understanding of electronic packaging, including materials, structures and failure mechanism in power electronic devices
- Familiar with statistical methods (Weibull plot, probability distribution) and with Python, MATLAB etc.
- Experience with PCB layout design tools, 2D/3D CAD and knowledge in failure analysis and life time modelling
- Basic knowledge from Circuit simulation (Spice) and FEM simulation (Ansys or Comsol). Additional experience with PCB layout design and simulation is a plus
- Ability to conduct independent scientific work and very good communication skills
- Fluent in written and spoken English, working language
