Students: Microstructure and mechanics of aluminum wire bonds

Job description

The Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nanosystems ENAS specializes in the development of smart systems — so-called intelligent systems for a wide range of applications. These systems combine electronic components, micro- and nanosensors, and actuators with communication interfaces. Fraunhofer ENAS develops individual components, the technologies for their manufacture, as well as system concepts and system integration technologies, and translates them into practical applications. Fraunhofer ENAS supports customer projects from the initial idea through design, technology development, or implementation using existing technologies, all the way to a tested prototype. The department Micro Materials Center (MMC) focuses on the reliability of electronic components. The goal of this application-oriented research is to improve the reliability of electronic components through appropriate experimental investigations and the use of numerical models, and subsequently to predict their remaining service life. Are you interested in the relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties and would like to deepen your knowledge through a practice-oriented research topic? If so, we are loo...
