Job Summary

As one of the worlds largest solar energy research institutes the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE makes a significant contribution to a sustainableeconomical secure and socially equitable energy supply worldwide. Our goal is to advance the energy transition by providing concrete implementable technologicalsolutions through excellent research results successful industrial collaborations and spin-offs. To this end our 1300 employees conduct research in four key areas:energy supply energy distribution energy storage and energy utilization. Fraunhofer ISEs state-of-the-art R&D infrastructure with 22300 m² of laboratory spaceenables cutting-edge research at an international level.

Be part of change

Would you like to play an active role in shaping the energy transition and gain practical experience while youre still in school With us youll work as a student assistant to help make this goal a reality.

You will support our Silicon Solar Cells group which focuses on the development of high-efficiency silicon solar cells and silicon-based tandem solar cells. To achieve the highest possible efficiencies effective engineering of the interfaces is our laboratories we develop various coating systems for the surface passivation of silicon and perovskite solar cells as well as for perovskite interfaces.

For our group Silicon Solar Cells we are looking for a student assistant to begin as soon as possible to perform the following tasks:

  • You will deposit various coating systems (Al₂O₃ TiOx SnOx ...) using ALD (FlexAL).
  • You will characterize the optical properties of the coatings using ellipsometry.
  • You characterize the interfacial properties (surface passivation) using QSSPC (quasi-steady-state photoconductance decay) and PL (photoluminescence).
  • You measure doping profiles using ECV (electochemical capacitance-voltage).

What you contribute

  • You are studying a science or technology-related field such as microsystems engineering physics or a comparable discipline.
  • You plan and complete tasks independently to a high standard and enjoy carrying them out.
  • You are proficient in using MS Office.
  • You have already successfully demonstrated your excellent written and spoken German and English skills.

What we offer

  • Exclusive insights: By working together with the scientists in our department you will gain insights into the day-to-day research and development work at aresearch institute.
  • Laboratory infrastructure: At Fraunhofer ISE we work with state-of-the-art equipment and devices so that research projects can be carried out using the latesttechnology.
  • Research mix:You will have the opportunity to combine experimental work with theory thus applying and expanding the knowledge you gained during yourstudies.
  • Supervision: You will be supervised by scientists during your work and receive feedback on your progress.
