Tools and diagnostic methods for the reuse of electronic components

Job description: The Autonomy and Sensor Integration Laboratory (LAIC) at CEA-Leti has the primary mission of developing sensor systems for the digitalization of systems. The teamapos;s activities are at the interface of hardware (electronics, optronics, semiconductors), software (artificial intelligence, signal processing), and systems (electronic architecture, mechatronics, multiphysics modeling). In a context of exponential growth in electronics and scarcity of resources, the reuse of electronic components from end-of-life systems represents a promising avenue to limit environmental impact and support the development of a circular economy. The objective of this project is to develop an advanced diagnostic methodology to assess the health status of electronic components, particularly power components, to reintegrate them into a less constraining second-life cycle. The postdoctoral researcher will be tasked with developing a comprehensive approach to evaluate the reuse potential of electronic components, with the aim of reintroducing them into second-life cycles. This will include: - Identifying relevant health indicators to monitor the performance evolution of components (e.g., MOSFETs, IGBTs, capacitors, etc.); - Setting up test benches and sensors adapted to measure electrical, thermal, or mechanical parameters, with the goal of detecting signs of aging; - Analyzing degradation modes through experimental tests and failure models; - Developing algorithms for predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) adapted to different usage scenarios; - Contributing to scientific publications, the valorization of results, and collaboration with project partners.
