MA: Temperature-Dependent Dissolution of GaN under matched Ammonothermal Conditions – gravimetric analysis utilizing capsules with high thermal conductivity
Maitri Bharatbhai Savani – Nitride semiconductors, as wide-bandgap semiconductors, playing an increasingly Owing to their wide bandgap characteristics, nitride semiconductors are increasingly important as substrate materials for power electronic devices. Ammonothermal crystal growth is a promising growth method for gallium nitride (GaN). The advantage of this method is the ability to produce crystals with very […]Maitri Bharatbhai Savani – Nitride semiconductors, as wide-bandgap semiconductors, playing an increasingly Owing to their wide bandgap characteristics, nitride semiconductors are increasingly important as substrate materials for power electronic devices.

BA: Optimization of cooling processes in crystal growth
Daniel-Sebastian Nastasa — This work develops a simulation-based framework for optimizing cooling processes in crystal growth. A two-dimensional, axisymmetric FEM model (scikit-fem) for transient heat conduction with Dirichlet/Neumann boundary conditions and a coupled thermoelastic stress computation (Hooke’s law, Cauchy stress) are employed. The underlying program originates from Jesse Schardjin’s master’s thesis and was extended in […]Daniel-Sebastian Nastasa — This work develops a simulation-based framework for optimizing cooling processes in crystal growth.

MA: Investigation of SiC Material and Device Properties at Cryogenic Temperatures
Elena Hobbacher — Silicon carbide is considered a suitable material platform for quantum technologies operating atcryogenic temperatures, as it combines optically active color centers with established semiconductorprocessing. For such applications, stable electrical transport and reliable contacts are required, ascharge noise and non-ideal transport behavior can affect device operation at low temperatures. Whilethe cryogenic operation of […]Elena Hobbacher — Silicon carbide is considered a suitable material platform for quantum technologies operating atcryogenic temperatures, as it combines optically active color centers with established semiconductorprocessing.

FA: Determination of crystal axis orientation by microspectroscopy: analysis of accuracy and error sources
Johannes Bauer — Microspectroscopy, which combines a microscope and a spectrometer, enables the investigation of a wide variety of layered structures, such as thin-film systems and two-dimensional materials. Through advanced modeling based on transfer-matrix methods, it is possible to determine parameters of individual layers, for example their thickness, in a non-destructive manner. The precise determination […]Johannes Bauer — Microspectroscopy, which combines a microscope and a spectrometer, enables the investigation of a wide variety of layered structures, such as thin-film systems and two-dimensional materials.

BA: Development and Optimization of a Ball-Wedge Wire Bonding Process for Small Bond Pads
Fabian Schmid — Contacting semiconductor chips is an essential prerequisite for the characterization and measurement of electronic components. In some cases, due to space constraints in test setups, only fixed wiring in the form of wire bonds is feasible. To achieve this, appropriate contact pads with sufficient area must be provided on the chip to […]
