  • 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...

  • Weak-supervision Time-series Analysis

    Creator:
    You, Zeyu
    Abstract:
    Efficient time-series analysis can impact multiple application domains such as motif discovery in gene analysis or music data, extracting spectro-temporal patterns in acoustic scene analysis, or annotating and classifying electrical bio-signals (such as ECG, EEG, and EMG) for medical applications. Time-series analysis involves a variety of tasks. To predict future...

  • Single-Ended Techniques for Delta-Sigma Modulators

    Creator:
    Lee, Calvin Y.
    Abstract:
    This work presents a high-resolution Delta-Sigma ADC which combines the use of the pseudo-pseudo-differential noise filtering technique with single-ended ring amplifier based integrators. The pseudo-pseudo-differential noise filtering technique utilizes single-ended circuits while maintaining the even-order rejection found in fully-differential structures which alleviates, in the active analog blocks, the need for...

  • Sensor Interface Circuit Design towards CMOS Scaling

    Creator:
    Liu, Jialin
    Abstract:
    Sensor system plays an important role in connecting everything including human body to the electrical information systems that we have built and that we are going to build, to make the world more intelligent and efficient. One of the key propulsive forces behind these emerging techniques is CMOS scaling that...

  • Ring Amplifier Optimized for High Resolution Analog-to-Digital Converter Applications

    Creator:
    ElShater, Ahmed O.
    Abstract:
    In recent years, SAR ADCs have been shown to acheive faster conversion times and improved power efficiencies due to their simple building blocks that are digital in nature and scale favorably with technology. High resolution ADCs with stringent noise requirement has led to the adoption of hybrid ADC architectures such...

  • Ring Amplifier Design Techniques for High-Precision and High-Speed Amplification

    Creator:
    Leuenberger, Spencer
    Abstract:
    Demands of today's integrated society dependent on communication systems have driven the creation of ever more efficient analog-to-digital converters. For the same reasons, digital circuitry has rapidly expanded to serve all the different systems and needs of consumers. The trend of technology development has been to make these digital circuits...

  • Quantum dot plasmon coupling : Fundamental study and applications

    Creator:
    Kannegulla, Akash
    Abstract:
    The dissertation focuses on the engineering of light-matter interaction using plasmonic nanoparticles and metamaterials to achieve enhanced luminescence and based on which to improve the performance of biosensing and light-emitting technologies. We designed and fabricated a spectrum of nanostructures to exhibit particular dispersion relations capable of controlling the spontaneous emission...

  • Power-Efficient Design Techniques and Architectures for Scalable Submicron Analog Circuits

    Creator:
    Xu, Yang
    Abstract:
    As the CMOS process scales down to submicron, digital circuit performance improves, while reduced supply voltage and lower transistor intrinsic gain make it difficult to implement analog circuits in a power efficient manner. Therefore, it has become advantageous to shift more analog signal processing functions conventionally realized in voltage (analog)...

    Abstract:
    Just off the coast of the Pacific Northwest lies the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ); odds of a very large CSZ earthquake occurring in the next 50 years is estimated to be about 37%. A CSZ seismic event has the potential to cause wide scale damage not just to the power...
