  • Radiation effects in III-V compound semiconductor heterostructure devices

    Creator:
    Li, ChyiShiun
    Abstract:
    The radiation effects in III-V heterojunction devices are investigated in this thesis. Two types of heterojunction devices studied are InGaP/GaAs single heterojunction bipolar transistors (SHBTs) and GaN-based heterojunction light emitting diodes (LEDs). InGaP/GaAS HBTs are investigated for high energy (67 and 105 MeV) proton irradiation effects while GaN heterojunction LEDs...

  • Radiation effects in III-V heterojunction bipolar transistors

    Creator:
    Vuppala, Soujanya
    Abstract:
    Electron and neutron irradiation effects in InGaP/GaAs single heterojunction bipolar transistors are investigated in this thesis. Devices with different emitter sizes and grown by two different growth techniques were examined. Based on the physics of heterojunction bipolar transistors and concepts of radiation damage mechanisms, the irradiation effects were analyzed. The...

  • Time domain electromagnetic simulation of VLSI interconnects

    Creator:
    Falconer, Maynard C.
    Abstract:
    Current trends in integrated circuit technology are continuing towards physically smaller components and related structures. Interconnects between circuit components have reached sub-micron dimensions which can not be modeled accurately by the current ideal microstrip analysis based techniques. These techniques often assume that the structure being modeled is perfectly conducting, smooth,...

  • PRONTO programs for product term reduction

    Creator:
    Abweh, Nael Nabih
    Abstract:
    PRONTO is a direct, one-pass heuristic method designed to shrink the size of reducible programmable logic arrays. Several people have contributed to the design, and translation to a computer program, of this attempt to produce a good solution quickly. This thesis discusses efforts to improve PRONTO's implementation in order to...

  • Acceleration of a heuristic PLA product term reduction program through complementation of the PLA specification

    Creator:
    Gilbert, John D.
    Abstract:
    Minimizing the number of product terms in a PLA implementation is a large step towards saving area on a VLSI chip using PLA logic. Due to the large amounts of computer time necessary to achieve this minimization, a number of heuristic approaches have been developed to provide near-optimal solutions in...

  • Lamb Wave Mode Decomposition and Its Applications in Structural Health Monitoring

    Creator:
    Zoubi, Ahmad Bassil
    Abstract:
    Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems perform automated non-destructive damage detection and characterization for a variety of large structures including civil structures such as bridges and aerospace structures such as aircrafts and space vehicles. The goals of SHM include preventing catastrophic structural failures, increasing reliability, reducing maintenance costs, and increasing the...

  • Data-Driven Approaches For Decoding Volitional Movement Intent From Bioelectrical Signals

    Creator:
    Cunha Dantas, Henrique
    Abstract:
    There are nearly two million limb amputees living in the United States of America. Loss of limbs results in profound changes in one's life. However, the underlying neural circuitry and much of the ability to sense and control movements of their missing limb is retained even after limb loss. This...

  • An approach for selecting a language for computer hardware description and simulation

    Creator:
    Milden, Mark R.
    Abstract:
    This paper corrects an apparent deficiency in the published information concerning Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) by introducing and discussing an approach for selecting an HDL for use in a design project. Although three classes of HDLs are discussed in this paper, High-Level Languages (HLLs), General Purpose Simulation Languages (GPSLs) and...

  • Modeling and characterization of multiple coupled lines

    Creator:
    Tripathi, Alok
    Abstract:
    A configuration-oriented circuit model for multiple coupled lines in an inhomogeneous medium is developed and presented in this thesis. This circuit model consists of a network of uncoupled transmission lines and is readily modeled with simulation tools like LIBRA© and SPICE©. It provides an equivalent circuit representation which is simple...
