The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (www.fraunhofer.com) currently operates 76 institutes and research units throughout Germany and is a leading applied research organization. Around 32 000 employees work with an annual research budget of 3.4 billion euros.
The Fraunhofer-Institute for Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP works on innovative solutions for vacuum coating and the treatment of surfaces, liquids and gases.
The Stationary Precision Coating working group in the field of plasma technology deals with the development of plasma-based vacuum coating processes an technologies for the producation of functional coatings using reactive magnetron sputtering.
The main objective of the project is to investigate the feasibility of using magnetron sputtering to grow piezoelectric wurtzite Al(X)Sc(1 -X)N ("AIScN") films on !arge area with high Sc content between (1-x) = 0.3 and 0.5. Current film growth technology achieves
wurtzite growth up to 0.43, but usually as a mix together with cubic.
The work will be comprised of three parts:
2. Plan and implementation of experiments and material characterization to find a way to tailor the process conditions for growth of
wurtzite AIScN with high Sc content
3. Participate in design and fabrication of test structures to evaluate the piezoelectric, dielectric, and other properties of the films.
