Introduction:
The III-V Semiconductor Group at the Solar Energy Institute of the Technical Univ. of Madrid is a leading research group in the field of high-efficiency concentrator solar cells that currently holds the world-record efficiency for a dual-junction solar cell operating at any concentration. The work proposed is focused on developing epitaxy processes to use the III-V-on-Si virtual substrates developed at IES-UPM to manufacture III-V multijunction solar cells on mono-crystalline silicon wafers and thus get inexpensive high efficiency solar cells.
Requirements:
- A degree in Physics, Chemistry, Electronic Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering or Materials Science. Candidates should have graduated no earlier than 2009
- Good academic record (above 2.0)
- Great motivation for scientific work and ability for team work
- Basic knowledge on semiconductor physics, device physics, epitaxy or material characterization techniques (PL, XRD, EL, AFM, TEM, ....) is highly desirable
- Full proficiency in English and basic knowledge of Spanish (or will to get it!) for foreign students
- Starting date in Fall 2012
