  • Electrical characterization of thermally reduced graphite oxide

    Creator:
    Jewell, Ira
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes the transport properties observed in thermally treated graphite oxide (GO), which holds promise as an economical route to obtaining graphene. Graphene is a material consisting of a single atomic plane of carbon atoms and was first isolated as recently as 2004. Several isolation techniques have been investigated,...

  • iMAC : improved medium access control for multi-channel multi-hop wireless networks

    Creator:
    Maiya, Megha
    Abstract:
    Trends in wireless networks are increasingly pointing towards a future with multi-hop networks deployed in multi-channel environments. In this thesis, we present the design for iMAC—a protocol targeted at medium access control in such environments. iMAC uses control packets on a common control channel to faciliate a three-way handshake between...

  • Instability and temperature-dependence assessment of IGZO TFTs

    Creator:
    Hoshino, Ken
    Abstract:
    Amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOSs) are of great current interest for thin-film transistor (TFT) channel layer applications. In particular, indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) is under intense development for commercial applications because of its demonstrated high performance at low processing temperatures. The objective of the research presented in this thesis is...

  • Amorphous oxide semiconductors in circuit applications

    Creator:
    McFarlane, Brian Ross
    Abstract:
    The focus of this thesis is the investigation of thin-film transistors (TFTs) based on amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOSs) in two circuit applications. To date, circuits implemented with AOS-based TFTs have been primarily enhancement-enhancement inverters, ring oscillators based on these inverters operating at peak frequencies up to ~400 kHz, and two-transistor...
