PhD studentship: Fully Funded SUSPRS PhD Scholarship: Cubic Silicon Carbide
2 weeks ago
Funding providers: Swansea University Strategic Partnership Research Scholarships (SUSPRS) with Université Grenoble Alpes, France
Subject areas: Semiconductors
Project start date: 1 October 2024 (Enrolment open from mid-September)
Project description:
This is a joint PhD programme between Swansea University and Université Grenoble Alpes.
Embark on a transformative journey with our PhD scholarship in Power Electronics. This research focuses on wide band gap semiconductors, a vital technology for energy processing and distribution.
This PhD studentship is an opportunity to contribute to a pioneering research project on cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) power electronic transistors. This project is a culmination of extensive research efforts by our dedicated team at Grenoble and Swansea, who have made significant strides in the field of wide-bandgap power electronics. The research aims to explore the potential of 3C-SiC, a novel polytype of silicon carbide (SiC), in overcoming the limitations of its hexagonal counterpart (4H-SiC). Unlike other materials, 3C-SiC offers a unique advantage - it can be doped, n- or p-type, over a wide range of resistivity, making it a promising candidate for power electronic applications. The 4H-SiC power electronic transistors suffer from low channel mobility, contact resistance, and poor reliability. The cubic polytype of SiC, 3C-SiC, can overcome these obstacles.
Eligibility
Candidates must hold a UK bachelor’s degree with a minimum of Upper Second Class honours or overseas bachelor’s degree deemed equivalent to UK honours (by UK ECCTIS) and achieved a grade equivalent to UK Upper Second Class honours in Engineering or similar relevant science discipline. If you are eligible to apply for the scholarship but do not hold a UK degree, you can check our comparison entry requirements. Please note that you may need to provide evidence of your English Language proficiency.
Applicants must hold a master's qualification to comply with Grenoble’s admissions requirements.
This scholarship is open to candidates of any nationality.
