In recent years, the photonic landscape has witnessed a transformative shift driven by the demand for capacity to transmit, process and manipulate digital and analog signals. Due to their proven properties, 2D-materials like graphene offer the ideal material basis for new, innovative applications for electronic and sensor components, such as IR-emitter, modulators or integrated heaters. Still, their integration poses challenges like homogeneity, reliability and scalability in cases like passivation.

What you will do

Are you passionate about cutting edge research of new functional materials for photonic applications? Join us as a student in our 200mm research fab and help us developing new technologies for photonic integrated circuits. In this scope, the advertised research topic focuses on the integration of 2D nanomaterials and characterization. 

We are currently looking for students for bachelor's and master's theses. We can discuss our ideas together to find the right topic for you.

What you bring to the table

• You are studying physics, engineering (micro/nanotechnology), chemistry or an equivalent degree program.
• You are an enrolled student in Chemnitz, Mittweida or the surrounding area.
• You already have practical knowledge of analytical characterization methods.
• You convince with an independent and autonomous way of working.
• An average grade of

What you can expect

• Insight into a variety of technologies in the field of micro- and nanotechnology.
• Collaboration in innovative and exciting research projects, with the opportunity to contribute your own ideas.
• Professional supervision and a varied range of tasks.
• A collegial, pleasant and motivating working environment.
• Flexible working hours and thus the optimal compatibility of studies and practice.

We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity. Severely disabled persons are given preference in the event of equal suitability. 

With its focus on developing key technologies that are vital for the future and enabling the commercial utilization of this work by business and industry, Fraunhofer plays a central role in the innovation process.
