GaNforPro: GaN for Proton Therapy Réf ABG-89951 Sujet de Thèse 31/01/2020 > 25 et < 35 K€ brut annuel Université Côte d'Azur Lieu de travail Nice - Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur - France Intitulé du sujet GaNforPro: GaN for Proton Therapy Champs scientifiques Santé, médecine humaine, vétérinaire Biotechnologie Sciences de l’ingénieur Mots clés e-health Description du sujet Proton therapy is currently the most advanced radiation therapy available for cancer treatment. Due to its specificities, proton beam can destroy cancer cells without attacking the surrounding healthy tissue. However, the proton beam position and shape must be accurately measured before each radiation since it directly affects the treatment efficiency and the eventual collateral damages. We propose a new calibration approach by developing robust GaN semiconductor detectors alloying to increase the control of the irradiated dose while strongly reducing the system complexity and cost. This innovation may thus drastically improve the proton therapy. In this context, the student will participate at all steps required to elaborate the GaN detectors at CRHEA-CNRS (http://www.crhea.cnrs.fr). He/she will benefit of the access to the regional technological platform CRHEATEC in order to develop the different processes of these devices fabrication. In a second period, he/she will characterize the devices directly on the medical site using the proton beam of the IMPT-CAL (Institut Méditerranéen de Proton Thérapie – Centre Antoine Lacassagne, https://www.protontherapie.fr). Subsequently, the student will spend 6 months in Professor Wieck's group at the University of Bochum to manufacture complete arrays of detectors but also to develop their interfacing with a commercially available readout circuit based on silicon. This thesis project offers a unique opportunity of contributing to the complete development of a novel electronic device dedicated to proton therapy, currently a very hot field of cancer treatment.
