  • Substrate noise coupling analysis in 0.18um silicon germanium (SiGe) and silicon on insulator (SOI) processes

    Creator:
    Pham, Hui En
    Abstract:
    Analysis of substrate noise coupling has been performed for a 0.18¹m lightly doped silicon germanium BiCMOS process. Techniques to minimize noise coupling in the chip and board design are presented, as well as methods for accurate modeling for substrate noise coupling simulations. Measurements from a test chip were taken to...

  • Synchronization in a CMOS technology

    Creator:
    Flannagan, Stephen T.
    Abstract:
    The problem of synchronization arises in the interaction among digital systems not sharing a common clock reference. The reliability of synchronizers is related to metastable operation of bistable elements. Because of its subtle nature, the phenomenon until recently was not widely researched. However, the literature now contains a sound theoretical...

  • DiskGrapher : A Different Approach to Hard Drive Visualization for Mac OS X

    Creator:
    Batch, John
    Abstract:
    DiskGrapher is a graphical visualization tool designed to help users better manage the space on their hard drives. The main goal of DiskGrapher is to provide a different visualization technique to display information, with the goal of providing a more intuitive understanding of the directory structure of the disk than...

  • A simulation study of a heuristic technique for approximating availability percentiles for cascaded independent systems

    Creator:
    Squire, David Charles
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents work done to verify the accuracy of a heuristic method for computing availability percentiles for cascaded independent systems. Previous work has provided a model for a single line that will be used as the basis for a simulation of cascaded and parallel systems of lines. The simulation...

  • The design of a reduced instruction set computer using a silicon compiler

    Creator:
    Zhang, Licheng
    Abstract:
    The objective of this thesis is to describe the design and implementation of a VSLI reduced instruction set computer (RISC). The RISC machine constitutes a new style of computer architecture. It differs significantly from the complex instruction set computer architectures (CISC) of the past. RISC architectures are characterized by their...

  • The architecture and design of a neural network classifier

    Creator:
    Jiang, Jin
    Abstract:
    The objective of this thesis is to present the architecture and design of a neural network-based pattern classifier. The classifier detects textual characters which have been translated, rotated, and corrupted by noise. This form of pattern classifier differs significantly from traditional pattern classifiers. The neural network architecture used in implementing...

  • A direct-conversion offset-cancellation mixer in 2.4 GHz CMOS

    Creator:
    Lehne, Mark A.
    Abstract:
    We present a new circuit design for adaptive offset cancellation in a fully differential 2.4 GHz CMOS direct conversion mixer. Our circuit structure is a modification of a Gilbert cell mixer in which offsets are cancelled by injecting cancellation currents into the legs of the mixer by dynamically varying the...

  • Al-In-Sn-O thin-film transistors

    Creator:
    Stewart, Kevin A.
    Abstract:
    The aim of the research undertaken for this thesis was to develop a new high-performance amorphous oxide semiconductor (AOS) for use as a channel layer in a thin-film transistor (TFT). AOS TFTs offer higher electron mobility than the established amorphous silicon based technology. A new channel material comprised of aluminum...

  • Assessment of High Mobility Oxide Thin-Film Transistors

    Creator:
    Stewart, Kevin A.
    Abstract:
    The trend towards higher resolution, faster refresh rate active-matrix liquid-crystal displays (AMLCDs) as well as the emergence of active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays is driving the demand for amorphous oxide semiconductor thin-film transistors (AOS TFTs) with higher mobility. A physics-based model for carrier transport in an amorphous semiconductor is...
