Vapor Phase Deposition Processes for Perovskite Photovoltaics
The position will be embedded in the Taskforce Perovskite Photovoltaics at KIT, which combines the expertise and equipment of several research groups at KIT. For the fabrication and prototyping of vapor-phase deposited perovskite solar cells, a broad fabrication and characterization platform will be accessible via the involved institutes, the Light Technology Institute (LTI) and the Institute of Microstructure Technology (IMT). The position is within the research group Vapor Deposition Processes for Perovskite Semiconductors of Dr. Paul Fassl within the Next Generation Photovoltaics division of Prof. Dr. Ulrich W. Paetzold.

IHRE QUALIFIKATION

Applicants must hold a Master’s degree (M.Sc.) in physics, materials science, electrical engineering, chemistry or related subjects. Knowledge in optoelectronics and in the field of semiconductor physics is required. Experience with working in international teams as well as very good English skills complete your profile.

• Development and optimization of various vapor deposition processes, including co-evaporation, sequential evaporation and close-space sublimation, for both perovskite absorbers and suitable passivation materials.
• Detailed investigation of the optoelectronic and microstructural properties of perovskite absorber layers with various bandgaps processed with these methods.
• Development of industrially relevant high-rate processes for vapor-phase deposited perovskite top solar cells for application in perovskite-based tandem solar cell
