Julie Le gal

Member of the R&D team (10 Engineers) in charge of the following tasks:
• Coordination of power semi-conductors (IGBT) development project for Automotive applications (collaboration with a supplier: INFINEON)
• Development of new IGBT technologies from system specification (fuel cells & converters)
• Improvement of the reliability of the IGBT

Member of the R&D team PEARL (Power Electronics Associated Research Laboratory) (10 Engineers). I was in charge of designing and integrating detection and protection functions into power semi-conductor (IGBT) devices for inverters. I worked on the following points:
• Design of IGBT including current and voltage sensors using finite element simulations (Sentaurus TCAD)
• Masks layout of different power semi-conductor : IGBT, MOSFET, diode Zener (using Cadence Virtuoso)
• Realization in clean room of the different chips at LAAS-CNRS (Toulouse), coordination with Research Laboratory CNM (Barcelona) for high voltage devices
• Electrical Characterization in short-circuit conditions

Analytical modelling of the mechanisms of the detection of an ENFET with Matlab and characterization of the ENFET sensor

Programming in Assembly a PIC 16C774 and realization of communication interface with FPGA

Study of different Commercial TouchPad and software development for serial link and bus CAN
