Materials at Work – Characterization of Devices Under Operating Conditions (C03)

• Subject Area: Electronic Semiconductors, Components and Circuits, Integrated Systems, Sensor Technology, Theoretical Electrical Engineering
• Term: since 2025
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 528378584

In most of the new devices researched in Research Area A and partially in Research Area B there are still uncertainties with respect to the precise device physics. This project combines advanced in-operando methods to get new insights into the device operation. By this, enhanced device development and device modeling are enabled and a more precise system assessment will be possible (see Project C02). This project on materials at work provides advanced characterization techniques, with a focus on in-operando techniques, to support the device research but also the understanding of the physical mechanisms in the devices that are essential to extrapolate to more complex systems.
