Master Thesis Simulation Laser Processing of Semiconductor Materials

Your tasks

• During your thesis you will build a comprehensive material model for SiC suitable for thermomechanical simulation.
• You will set up and run a thermomechanical Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation for laser material processing. This includes implementing of heat source and material properties to predict temperature fields, residual stresses, and potential crack formation.
• Furthermore, you will define, conduct, and analyze validation experiments to generate reference data, including the measurement of residual stresses.
• Finally, you will compare and validate your simulation results against the experimental data to refine the model.

Your profile

• Education: Master studies in the field of Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or comparable
• Experience and Knowledge: simulation experience with FEM simulation and material modeling; prior experience with thermomechanical simulations or thermal joining simulations; experience or coursework related to semiconductor materials such as Silicon (Si) or Silicon Carbide (SiC) is an advantage
• Personality and Working Practice: you are a proactive and structured individual with a strong analytical mindset and the ability to work independently
• Work Routine: your on-site presence is required
• Languages: fluent in German and English
