Indian Institute of Technology Delhi invites applications from Indian nationals only for Project Scientist Appointment for the consultancy/research project(s) in the Department of Energy Science & Engineering purely on a contract basis.
Position: Project Scientist
Principal Investigator: Prof. Vamsi Krishna Komarala, Department of Energy Science & Engineering [email ID: spsinghin@gmail.com]
Title of the Project: Development of large area 152.4 mm x 152.4 mm ~23% efficient silicon heterojunction | solar cells, and ~25% efficient tandem cells of 50 mm x 50 mm area (Project lead by | IT Delhi and joined with IIT Bhilai). (RP04506G) |
Sponsor of the project: Department of Science & Technology
Tenure: Up to 31/03/2026
Essential Qualification: Ph.D. in semiconductor physics, particularly Silicon-based solar cell fabrication with characterization Knowledge of plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition and sputtering systems for thin amorphous silicon layers growth and transparent conducting oxide layers growth (preferably) and characterization. Silicon solar cell/device analysis by using various optical and electrical characterization techniques to enhance the device’s performance. The candidate is able to characterize the amorphous silicon thin films using different characterization techniques like Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscope, Raman Spectroscope, Ellipsometry, and Minority carrier lifetime measurements. Device interface analysis with electrical characterization techniques.
Desirable: TCAD simulations of complete silicon solar cell device structure with various configurations for electron- and hole-selective layer. In the simulations. one can consider good optical models for light path length enhancements and recombination models followed by the transport of charge carriers at the various interfaces of a device. Able to integrate multiple thin layers with suitable optical and electronic properties for improving the device’s performance.
Fellowship: Rs.67,000/-p.m. Plus HRA @27%
