  • Contact resistance and stability assessment of oxide-based thin film transistors

    Creator:
    Hung, Celia M.
    Abstract:
    This thesis focuses on two aspects of oxide-based thin-film transistors (TFTs), contact resistance and instability assessment. First, determination of the contact resistance of indium tin oxide (ITO) on two wide-band gap semiconductors, zinc oxide (ZnO) and indium gallium oxide (IGO), is attempted and the effects of contact resistance on device...

  • Atomic Layer Deposition of Multi-Insulator Metal-Insulator-Metal Capacitors

    Creator:
    Austin, Dustin Z.
    Abstract:
    Back end of line (BEOL) metal-insulator-metal capacitors (MIMCAPs) have become a core passive component in modern integrated circuits. International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) projections for scaling of analog/mixed-signal MIMCAP applications require simultaneously increasing capacitance density while maintaining low leakage current density and low voltage nonlinearity (characterized by the quadratic...

  • Extending market potential of blueberries with controlled atmosphere storage

    Creator:
    Boonprasom, Pichaya
    Abstract:
    The goal of this research was to determine if controlled atmosphere (CA) storage could be used to extend the market period of fresh Pacific Northwest blueberries and to evaluate the effects different storage atmospheres have on fruit quality. Furthermore, this research also investigated heat and mass transfer characteristics during cooling...

  • Analysis and applications of layered multiconductor coupled slot and strip-slot structures

    Creator:
    Luo, Sifen
    Abstract:
    Layered multiconductor coupled slot and strip-slot structures are characterized by introducing the full-wave modal analysis as well as the quasi-TEM spectral domain technique. In the modal analysis, the electric and magnetic fields are constructed in terms of modal fields in different regions. Application of the boundary conditions at interfaces for...

  • Processing of laser interferometric signals for small displacement measurements

    Creator:
    Peng, Gwo-sheng
    Abstract:
    Algorithms for analyzing laser interferometry signals were developed and adopted to the computer based processing of small displacement measurements. These methods, matrix operation approach and fixed parameters approach, are based on signal phase calculation and are able to replace complex fringe counting electronic circuits. The matrix operation provides an approach...

  • Structural stability effects on adsorption of bacteriophage T4 lysozyme to colloidal silica

    Creator:
    Tian, Minghua
    Abstract:
    Circular dichroism (CD) spectra were obtained for bacteriophage T4 lysozyme and three of its mutants in the presence and absence of colloidal silica nanoparticles. Mutant lysozymes were produced by substitution of the isoleucine at position 3 with tryptophan, cysteine and leucine. Each substitution resulted in an altered structural stability, quantified...

  • Simulated and Experimental Characteristics of Analysis Techniques for ZrCuAlNi/AlOx/Al Metal-Insulator-Metal Tunnel Diodes

    Creator:
    Tan, Cheng
    Abstract:
    This project examines the results of current-voltage conduction mechanism analysis techniques simulated under assumed conduction conditions. Thermionic emission and Fowler-Nordheim tunneling conditions are simulated and analyzed. The resulting plots show how devices behave under different condition mechanisms. The effects of different conduction mechanisms on the results of various analysis techniques...

  • Metabolic engineering of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 for microbial fuel cell application

    Creator:
    Hall, Robert G. (Robert George)
    Abstract:
    Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 is a gram-negative, facultative anaerobic bacteria with the capability of dissimilatory metal reduction. The ability of the organism to reduce a wide range of solid metal-oxides during anaerobic respiration makes it an ideal candidate for the powering of microbial fuel cells (MFCs), which capture the electrons discharged...

  • Micro total analysis system for in-situ and autonomous spectrophotometric monitoring of iron in groundwater

    Creator:
    Koch, Corey R.
    Abstract:
    We have developed a compact micro total analysis system (μTAS) to serve as a platform for in-situ spectrophotometric water quality monitoring. Individual fluidic, optical, and electrical components were designed, developed, and characterized. These components were combined in both an integrated (single lithographic “chip-based” platform) and a modular manner. The microfluidic...
