  • 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...

  • Substrate noise coupling in ring oscillator-based phase locked loops

    Creator:
    Shreeve, Robert
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, the performance degradation of a phase-locked loop due to substrate noise is examined. A new analytical equivalent circuit model for substrate noise coupling is derived for a heavily doped silicon substrate. The model has been validated with measured data from a 0.35 μm CMOS process. Since the...

  • Multithreaded virtual processor on DSM

    Creator:
    An, Ho Seok
    Abstract:
    Modern superscalar processors exploit instruction-level parallelism (ILP) by issuing multiple instructions in a single cycle because of increasing demand for higher performance in computing. However, stalls due to cache misses severely degrade the performance by disturbing the exploitation of ILP. Multiprocessors also greatly exacerbate the memory latency problem. In SMPs,...

  • A Personal Dead Reckoning RFID Waypoint Updated System for Footstep Level Resolution Path Tracking to Enable Research Into Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s

    Creator:
    Connell, Sean Robert
    Abstract:
    The problem of footstep level resolution indoor path tracking and gait velocity lacks a good solution. The current solutions are either prohibitively expensive [4], extremely invasive to deploy [1], or too inaccurate to achieve the sub meter level resolution required to track foot paths. By combining existing pedestrian dead reckoning...

  • Linear and nonlinear feedback linearization of radio frequency power amplifiers

    Creator:
    Bogya, Robert I.
    Abstract:
    Radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PA) are the most power consuming components of a mobile communications unit. They are used to convert the DC power from the battery into RF power delivered to the antenna. In a cell phone it becomes very important to use highly efficient power amplifiers, such...

  • Engineering a Profiling System for a Robotic Oceanographic Surface Sampler

    Creator:
    Shannon, Robert J.
    Abstract:
    ROSS (Robotic Oceanographic Surface Sampler) is an autonomous boat, equipped with oceanographic sensors, used for studying the ocean’s surface. One of its advantages over traditional research vessels is its ability to sample near glaciers, an area too dangerous for manned ships. In order to properly ascertain deep ocean heat’s effect...

  • Measurement and analysis of soft error vulnerability of low-voltage logic and memory circuits

    Creator:
    Pawlowski, Robert
    Abstract:
    Scaling the supply voltage into the sub/near-threshold domain is one of the most effective methods for improving the energy efficiency of next-generation electronic microsystems. Unfortunately, the relationship between low-voltage operation and radiation-induced soft error rate is not widely known, as little research has been previously performed and reported for soft-error...

  • Survey of System Virtualization Techniques

    Creator:
    Rose, Robert
    Abstract:
    This paper discusses two main trends in the development of virtual machine systems: full system virtualization, where an entire hardware architecture is replicated virtually, and paravirtualization, where an operating system is modified so that it can be run concurrently with other operating systems that have also been designed for paravirtualization.

  • Evolving character controllers for collision preparation

    Creator:
    Rose, Robert W.
    Abstract:
    Full dynamic control of physically simulated characters is the holy grail of video games and other interactive applications. Recent advances in the field have presented controllers that can handle the balance and fall response after a collision. This thesis addresses the development of a controller that handles the response before...

  • Correlated level shifting as a power-saving method to reduce the effects of finite DC gain and signal swing in opamps

    Creator:
    Gregoire, B. Robert
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents methods to reduce the effects of finite opamp DC gain, output voltage swing limitations in opamps, and component mismatches. The primary contribution of this thesis is a new switched-capacitor method named correlated level shifting (CLS). CLS enables true rail-to-rail operation by storing an estimate of the desired...
