Dr. Thorben Casper

The first two years, the position was related to the EU FP7 nanoCOPS (Nanoelectronic Coupled Problems Solutions, www.fp7-nanocops.eu) project. It was involved with the development of new numerical simulation tools with applications in the field of - Power-MOS devices - RF-circuitries in wireless communication

- Design of an HF detector using Cadence - Improvement of the Advanced Integrated Circuit Design Lab for Master students

Simulation of transistor-like structures in the field of printed electronics

- Specification of a DDR2/3-Memory Controller - Selection of a suitable bus-interface (Wishbone, ARM AMBA, etc.) - Training in full custom design

Supervision of small groups of students working on exercises. The involved lectures were: - Mathematics I for engineers - Mathematics II for engineers - Basics of Electrical Engineering - Fundamentals of Electrodynamics - Basics of semiconductor components and devices

Simulation of Coupled Problems and Uncertainty Quantification in Nanoelectronics

Development of a Method for Electrical Characterization of CVD Graphene - Implementation of a fitting algorithm to align a model to experimental data - Fabrication, measurement and characterization of CVD graphene in field-effect transistors
