  • Zinc tin oxide thin-film transistor current mirror circuits

    Creator:
    Feller, Layannah Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    The central focus of this thesis is the design, fabrication and characterization of amorphous oxide semiconductor (AOS) thin-film transistor (TFT) current mirrors. The thin-film deposition and circuit fabrication methods used to realize zinc tin oxide (ZTO) TFT current mirrors are addressed in order to elucidate the processing challenges for this...

  • Zinc tin oxide thin-film transistor circuits

    Creator:
    Heineck, Daniel Philip
    Abstract:
    The primary objective of this thesis is to develop a process for fabricating integrated circuits based on thin-film transistors (TFTs) using zinc tin oxide (ZTO) as the channel layer. ZTO, in contrast to indium- or gallium-based amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOS), is perceived to be a more commercially viable AOS choice...

  • Wind ramp prediction

    Creator:
    Alexander, Chianna M.
    Abstract:
    The number of wind turbines and wind farms in the Pacific Northwest has increased dramatically in the past six years, which represents a significant amount of electrical generation capacity connected to the public electric grid. However, the variable nature of wind sometimes introduces excessive power, or conversely shortages, in power...

  • Wideband discrete-time delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters with shifted loop delays

    Creator:
    Meng, Xin
    Abstract:
    Low-distortion architecture is widely used in wideband discrete-time switched-capacitor delta-sigma ADC design. However, it suffers from the power-hungry active adder and critical timing for quantization and dynamic element matching (DEM). To solve this problem, this dissertation presents a delta-sigma modulator architecture with shifted loop delays. In this project, shifted loop...

  • Wideband and high accuracy delta sigma modulation data converter

    Creator:
    Jung, Youngho
    Abstract:
    Nowadays, needs for wideband and high accuracy analog-to-digital converter are increasing rapidly in manifold applications such as wireless communication, digital video and other consumer electronics. Besides, low power consumption is required to have longer battery life in portable systems. CMOS technology scaling and innovative modulator topology make the implementation much...

  • Wide-bandwidth, high-resolution delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Zanbaghi, Ramin
    Abstract:
    There is a significant need in recent mobile communication and wireless broadband systems for high-performance analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that have wide bandwidth (BW>5-MHz) and high data rate (>100-Mbps). A delta-sigma ADC is recognized as a power-efficient ADC architecture when high resolution (>12-b) is required. This is due to several advantages...

  • Wide stripe, high power diode lasers

    Creator:
    Parson, Kevin J.
    Abstract:
    Typical power outputs of commercially available diode lasers are on the order of 5 milliwatts. This thesis discusses the growth, processing and fabrication of high power (lOO's of milliwatts) diode lasers. Devices were grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) and by Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD). The MOCVD diode...

  • Web-based distributed applications for cytosensor

    Creator:
    Liew, Ji Seok
    Abstract:
    To protect the environment and save human lives, the detection of various hazardous toxins of biological or chemical origin has been a major challenge to the researchers at Oregon State University. Living fish cells can indicate the presence of a wide range of toxins by reactions such as changing color...

  • Weather influence on Loran-C

    Creator:
    Graulich, Markus Günter
    Abstract:
    The influence of weather on the long range radio navigation system Loran-C was investigated. The variables analyzed over a period of 255 days were: time differences (TDs), TD signal-to-noise ratios, TD standard deviations (measured at a fixed receiver location in Corvallis, Oregon), time interval numbers (TINOs) (measured at the transmitter...
