Research Assistant

As part of a third-party funded research project, an intermediate substrate layer is being developed in collaboration with an industry partner for processing within standard printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing processes. This layer integrates high-frequency waveguides for signal transmission as well as miniaturized cooling channels for liquid cooling.
The tasks at TU Berlin focus in particular on integrating this novel intermediate layer into state-of-the-art PCB processes and their associated electronic cooling systems. Another key focus lies on the coupling interfaces, especially for the low-loss coupling and decoupling of high frequencies into and out of the waveguides and onward to subsequent microelectronic system components.
