  • Radiation effects in compound semiconductor heterostructure devices

    Creator:
    Sarkar, Aveek, 1974-
    Abstract:
    Radiation studies were performed on compound semiconductor heterostructure devices. The objective was to understand the degradation processes caused by the exposure of these devices to radiation. Preliminary experiments were focussed on studying the degradation phenomenon in single heterojunctions and single quantum wells. It was found that ionizing radiation like gamma...

  • Analysis and modeling of planar microstrip spiral inductors on lossy substrates

    Creator:
    Lutz, Richard D.
    Abstract:
    The advent of low-cost RFIC's fabricated in Silicon-based technologies has led to the use of monolithic lumped elements which are located on-die. While it is clearly advantageous to have a high degree of integration and thus fewer off chip elements, parasitic losses due to semiconducting substrate effects can be a...

  • Analysis and modeling of microstrip on-chip interconnects on silicon substrate

    Creator:
    Lan, Hai
    Abstract:
    The electrical performance of on-chip interconnects has become a limiting factor to the performance of modern integrated circuits including RFICs, mixed-signal circuits, as well as high-speed VLSI circuits due to increasing operating frequencies, chip areas, and integration densities. It is advantageous to have fast and accurate closed-form expressions for the...

  • Modelling of on-chip spiral inductors for silicon RFICs

    Creator:
    Melendy, Daniel
    Abstract:
    In high-frequency circuit design, performance is often limited by the quality of the passive components available for a particular process. Specifically, spiral inductors can be a major bottle-neck for Voltage-Controlled Oscillators (VCOs), Low-Noise Amplifiers (LNAs), mixers, etc. For designers to correctly optimize a circuit using a spiral inductor, several frequency-domain...
