Master Thesis - STUDY OF NOVEL PIEZO MEMS MICROMIRRORS (F/M/D)
Befristet, Vollzeit · GRAZ
YOUR FUTURE RESPONSIBILITIES
Short description:
In our previous work, we have designed and fabricated novel resonant piezo actuated silicon-based MEMS mirrors with one of the highest optical scan angle per unit watt ever reported. Micromirrors are suitable to be used in a wide variety of different fields like augmented reality, LIDAR and pico-projection applications. Important step forward towards further improvements is the in-depth study of the performance of these MEMS devices.
This Master´s student will:
- measure mirror deformation during actuation using stroboscopic digital holography.
- measure the amplitude and phase of the mirror response under different environmental parameters such as pressure, temperature, or humidity.
- study different mirror geometries and different PZT materials.
- develop, study, evaluate and compare different complex excitation signals for optimal transduction.
- participate in the design of the next generation of micromirrors and the developments toward the final pico-projection applications.
YOUR PROFILE
- Master student in physics, microsystem technologies or similar field
- Experience with experimental setups
- Experience with data processing, evaluation and visualization software or language (e.g., MATLAB, Python)
- Experience with simulation software and/or CAD tools is valuable
- Autonomy and good reporting skills
- Good teamwork and
- Good communication skills in English, German is an advantage
