  • Characterizing spin-orbit torques in β-W/Ta/CoFeB/MgO devices

    Creator:
    Allen, Shane R.
    Abstract:
    Materials with a strong spin Hall effect and Rashba-Edelstein effect have the potential to improve the efficiency of solid-state magnetic memory technologies and other magnetic logic devices. Heavy metals have been identified as having these properties, including the beta crystal phase of tungsten. In this work, we determine the strength...

  • 1/f noise of GaAs resistors on semi-insulating substrates, and 1/f noise due to temperature fluctuations in heat conduction

    Creator:
    Choi, Mun-Seork
    Abstract:
    This research work focuses on the mechanism of 1/f noise in GaAs resistors on semi-insulating substrates and 1/f noise due to temperature fluctuations in heat conduction in resistors, diodes, and bipolar transistors. The goal of this research is to generate accurate models to explain physical origin of 1/f noise in...

  • Low frequency 1/f noise of p-MOS, bipolar and lateral bipolar transistors

    Creator:
    Cheng, Mark
    Abstract:
    This thesis deals with 1/f noise in p-MOS, bipolar, and lateral bipolar transistors. Experimental measurements determine the appropriate 1/f noise for MOSFET's, bipolar transistors and lateral bipolar transistors. The literature on 1/f noise in p-MOSFETs, bipolar transistors and lateral bipolar transistors is reviewed. The two main sources of low frequency...

  • Development of Amorphous Metal Thin Films for Thermal Inkjet Printing and Microelectronics

    Creator:
    McGlone, John M.
    Abstract:
    Due to a lack of grain boundaries, an amorphous metal thin film (AMTF) possesses advantageous mechanical properties and enhanced chemical stability that is potentially useful for thermal inkjet (TIJ) printing applications. The use of an AMTF as a TIJ resistor or cavitation plate could lead to a thinner TIJ cavitation...

  • Hybrid computer simulation of wind-driven ocean currents

    Creator:
    Vithayathil, Francis Joseph
    Abstract:
    A simulation method using a hybrid computer is developed in this dissertation to enhance the study of wind-driven ocean circulation. The simulation is based on the mathematical model developed by Ekman. Pure digital simulation is not economical due to excessive computer time required for the solution of the partial differential...

  • ACTFEL device simulation with impact ionization using a two-sheet charge model

    Creator:
    Bouchard, Anthony F.
    Abstract:
    The main achievement of this thesis is the development of a two-sheet charge simulation model with space charge creation by trap-to-band impact ionization to describe the electrical characteristics of alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) devices. The two-sheet charge model localizes all of the space charge in the phosphor region of an...

  • 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...

  • Thermally-stable amorphous metal thin films

    Creator:
    McGlone, John M.
    Abstract:
    Amorphous metal thin films (AMTFs) are of potential use for metal-insulator-metal (MIM) tunnel diode applications due to their ultra-smooth surfaces, a consequence of their amorphous microstructure. The objective of this thesis is to design a thermally-stable AMTF capable of maintaining MIM tunnel diode performance after a post-deposition anneal in excess...
