  • Discrete trap modeling of thin-film transistors

    Creator:
    Yerubandi, Ganesh Chakravarthy
    Abstract:
    A discrete trap model is developed and employed for elucidation of thin-film transistor (TFT) device physics trends. An attractive feature of this model is that only two model parameters are required, the trap energy depth, E[subscript T], and the trap density, N[subscript T]. The most relevant trends occur when E[subscript...

  • Pipelined multiprocessor computer architecture and fast parallel algorithms for real-time robot control

    Creator:
    Mun, Wangjin
    Abstract:
    As a result of the automation revolution, robots are assuming ever more complex and demanding tasks. Robot system control schemes for fast and precise robot motion require utilization of the entirety of the robot dynamic formulations and the ability to evaluate these formulations in real-time. The dynamic formulations, which take...

  • A multiprocessor node for communication and control

    Creator:
    Atluri, Venkata Ram
    Abstract:
    This paper describes the design and implementation of "A multiprocessor node for communication and control" (MPCC). MPCC is a high speed, high performance local area network capable of performing real time control tasks. This is achieved by the concurrent operation of two 8051 microcontrollers, a dual port RAM and the...

  • Nucleation Inhibiting Mechanisms in Atomic Layer Deposition of Nanolaminates

    Creator:
    Witsell, Shane Mike’ele Williama
    Abstract:
    Nucleation in atomic layer deposition (ALD) determines how many cycles are required to initiate growth and to form a continuous film. Nucleation has been exploited for the formation of nanoparticles, catalysts, and for area-selective ALD. Although sometimes overlooked or misrepresented in ALD reports, nucleation is also critical for multicomponent ALD...

  • Fabrication and characterization of thin-film transistor materials and devices

    Creator:
    Hong, David
    Abstract:
    A class of inorganic thin-film transistor (TFT) semiconductor materials has emerged involving oxides composed of post-transitional cations with (n-1)d¹⁰ns⁰ (n≥4) electronic configurations. This thesis is devoted to the pursuit of topics involving the development of these materials for TFT applications: Deposition of zinc oxide and zinc tin oxide semiconductor layers...

  • Inorganic thin-film solar cells

    Creator:
    Spies, Jack Alexander
    Abstract:
    The primary objective of this thesis is to explore new absorber and p-type window layer materials for thin-film solar cell applications. A new thin-film electron beam deposition system has been installed, is now operational, and has been used to deposit several types of solar cell absorber layers. Material investigations include...

  • Fabrication of a flexible glucose sensing catheter for human implantation

    Creator:
    Matthews, David J.
    Abstract:
    Flexible electronics processing techniques were applied to integrate a glucose sensor with a hormone-delivery catheter in order to create a cheap and minimally invasive method for patients with type 1 diabetes to continually monitor and control their blood sugar levels. Ultimately, this work intends to move toward the development of...

  • Oxide phosphors deposited by activated reactive evaporation for ACTFEL device applications

    Creator:
    Yokoyama, Tomoe
    Abstract:
    The goal of this thesis study is to develop an activated reactive evaporation (ARE) system and to demonstrate its utility by fabricating-alternating current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) oxide phosphor devices. ARE entails evaporation in an activated gas. The main ARE system components are three thermal evaporation sources, a microwave power supply,...

  • A high-swing CMOS operational amplifier topology

    Creator:
    Yang, John Jian
    Abstract:
    A circuit topology for high-swing, high-linearity CMOS operational amplifiers has been developed. The technique uses parallel-connected p- and n-channel input pairs to realize an input common-mode voltage range nearly equal to the total power supply voltage. High linearity is achieved by summing the DC bias and AC small-signal currents so...

  • Development of high efficiency solar absorbers

    Creator:
    Ravichandran, Ram
    Abstract:
    Current cadmium telluride and copper indium gallium diselenide thin-film solar cells (TFSCs) utilize thick absorbers (2 - 4 μm). For efficient carrier extraction in these TFSCs, the absorber layer requires high carrier mobilities and a long minority carrier lifetime, which necessitates the use of a high purity, defect-free thin film....
