Scholarships Description: The Group of Semiconductor Components is an internationally leading research group on novel integrated circuit devices, with a strong track record on component reliability research. We conduct multidisciplinary research ranging from chemistry via physics to electrical engineering. The chosen candidate will end up as an expert on the physics and long-term behavior of silicon-based high voltage transistors. He or she will work closely together with the Dutch company NXP Semiconductors manufacturing these devices. These devices play a key role in many modern electronic systems such as hybrid cars. Reliability is of essential importance in such transistors. This project aims to determine and investigate the main degradation mechanisms that are responsible for failure of high voltage transistor switches. The research team will approach the challenge by experimentation, analysis and modeling. Based on the findings, methods to increase reliability will be defined and tested. During the project, these methods will be implemented in novel high voltage switch designs with increased lifetime, which will be manufactured at NXP. Moreover accelerated lifetime tests will be developed that can be used for product qualification. By improving switch design and by preventing degradation this project will help to pave the way for increasing the performance and reliability of high voltage switches.
