Creator:: Magnuson, Waldo George
Abstract:: Analysis, coupled with an experimental investigation, is an important step in the design process of electronic circuits. Fortunately, with the development of computer programs to perform general network analysis, the job of analyzing relatively complex networks is not as formidable as it once was. This investigation develops guidelines for efficiently...
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Creator:: Khanna, Satya Pal
Abstract:: A technique was investigated in which a silicon crystal was used as a very sensitive detector of sub-nanogram quantities of boron. The unknown quantity of boron was spread uniformly on the surface of an n-type silicon wafer which was then baked for diffusion. The measured depth of the p-n junction...

Creator:: Hsieh, Edmund Jui-ching
Abstract:: Wideband tunnel-diode amplifiers using common-base transistor stages for isolation were investigated for stability criteria, frequency response, and the effects of temperature and voltage supply fluctuations. For the first time the full frequency spectrum of a tunnel-diode, from d-c to the gigahertz (GHz) range, was able to be utilized in an...

Creator:: Matsuo, Samuel Seiji
Abstract:: The properties of flash- evaporated films of GaAs and GaP were studied in this investigation. Films were grown at various substrate temperatures, source temperatures, source-to-substrate distances and rates of deposition and were evaluated as to their structural, optical and electric properties. It was found that substrate temperature was the major...

Creator:: Delzer, Dennis Richard
Abstract:: Vacuum evaporated dielectrics for use in MOS structures were studied in this research project. Dielectric films were deposited on substrates by electron bombardment evaporation of sapphire and quartz source materials. These deposited films were studied using infrared spectroscopy, index of refraction, density, and dielectric constant measurements. Etching tests were also...

Creator:: Ede, Alan Winthrop
Abstract:: The theoretical characteristics of space-charge-limited currents in solids are reviewed, and a survey of suitable dielectric materials and experimental space-charge-limited devices is presented. The properties of the gold-silicon contact as used in space-charge-limited devices were experimentally investigated. It was found that the observed characteristics could be explained on the basis...
