The use of double-diffused n-type MOS transistor
(DN-MOS) in a complementary MOS random-access-memory (CMOS
RAM) cell is the main objective of this investigation.
DN-MOS transistors and conventional p-channel MOS
transistors on the same chip have been successfully fabricated.
Process sequence effects on device threshold voltage
and channel length are discussed....
The theoretical aspects and fabrication techniques of
a new surface field-effect transistor were investigated.
The new MOS-transistor uses a three-layer structure
similar to those found in bipolar transistors. The new MOS
structure introduces an impurity gradient in the channel
region of the transistor and also makes it possible to reduce...
This thesis is an experimental study of an acoustic
surface wave delay line using a Lithium Niobate crystal.
A brief theory of operation of the interdigital transducer
with its advantages over the other methods of exciting and
detecting acoustic surface waves is discussed. The experimental
procedure used for evaluation of...
A non-volatile electrically alterable read-only memory using
an MOS field effect transistor with a threshold voltage which depended
upon the position of ionic charges for its memory was fabricated.
The conventional silicon dioxide layer was replaced by a composite
layer consisting of thermal silicon dioxide, electron beam
evaporated aluminum oxide,...
In this work the use of linear MOS integrated circuits in the
design of a phase-shift oscillator is presented. By multiplying the
capacitors of the RC feedback network through the use of the Miller
effect, large effective capacitance values are obtained which enable
the low frequency operation of the oscillator....
Problems with Hall devices for instructional use in undergraduate laboratories stimulated this investigation for development of rugged, easily constructed, inexpensive, electrically reproducible Hall devices with high output voltage. Silicon was chosen as the Hall-plate material on the basis of cost and availability. Advantages and disadvantages of various plate shapes, sizes,...
The influence of surface fields on the breakdown voltage
is studied experimentally for p⁺-n silicon diodes with
a junction depth of 0.5μ in order to improve the curvature-
limited breakdown of the diffused, shallow-collector
junction of a microwave transistor.
Devices with a gap in the gate metal electrode are
also...
The object of this work was to design and fabricate an integrated circuit using Integrated Injection Logic. Integrated Injection Logic (I[superscript 2] L) is a relatively new field and has many inherent advantages. These have been exploited in this work. Logic for the desired functions was designed and implemented in...
The effects of roadbuilding, logging and burning upon stream
runoff responses to individual storms are evaluated for the Alsea
experimental watersheds, located in the Oregon Coast Range, The
parameters analyzed are peak discharge, induced peak discharge,
time-to-peak, and storm-runoff volume. The volume parameter is
further sub-divided into total, quick, delayed,...
