  • Analysis and synthesis of neural networks

    Creator:
    Skelton, Jeanette K.
    Abstract:
    The brain has long attracted the interest of researchers. Some tasks, such as pattern recognition and optimization, have proven to be exceptionally difficult for conventional computing systems to perform, but are executed by the brain almost effortlessly. Due to the large number of neurons and interconnections, it has proven impossible...

  • Simulated and Experimental Characteristics of Analysis Techniques for ZrCuAlNi/AlOx/Al Metal-Insulator-Metal Tunnel Diodes

    Creator:
    Tan, Cheng
    Abstract:
    This project examines the results of current-voltage conduction mechanism analysis techniques simulated under assumed conduction conditions. Thermionic emission and Fowler-Nordheim tunneling conditions are simulated and analyzed. The resulting plots show how devices behave under different condition mechanisms. The effects of different conduction mechanisms on the results of various analysis techniques...

  • Atomic Layer Processing for Next-Generation Microelectronic Materials

    Creator:
    Holden, Konner E. K.
    Abstract:
    Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is an enabling technique for many new micro- and nanoscale technologies. The self-limiting surface chemical reactions by which ALD fundamentally operates give rise to uniquely high precision (atomic) control over deposited film thickness, uniformity over large areas, and conformality over complex and extreme topographies. One such...

  • High speed buffers for op-amp characterization

    Creator:
    Rangan, Giri N. K.
    Abstract:
    The feasibility of developing test circuits to perform in-circuit testing of analog circuits is investigated in this thesis. A modular approach to analog testing has been adopted. Accordingly, the testing of an operational amplifier, which is a basic building block in analog circuits, is addressed. One convenient technique for measuring...

  • Investigation of bipolar resistive switching in zinc-tin-oxide for resistive random access memory

    Creator:
    Murali, Santosh
    Abstract:
    Resistive random access memory (RRAM) is a non-volatile memory technology based on resistive switching in a dielectric or semiconductor sandwiched between two different metals. Also known as memristors, these devices are potential candidates for a next-generation replacement for flash memory. In this thesis, bipolar resistive switching is reported for the...

  • 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...

  • 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....

  • Modeling and testing of semi-insulating gallium arsenide interdigitated photodetectors

    Creator:
    Kollipara, Ravindranath Tagore
    Abstract:
    High speed photodetectors are a necessary element in broad band digital and analog optical communication systems. In this thesis easily integrable planar high speed photodetectors made on undoped semi-insulating (SI) GaAs substrates are modeled and tested. The fabrication process of the detectors is fully compatible with GaAs metal-semiconductor field effect...

  • A study of deep levels of AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors

    Creator:
    Huang, Chun-ta
    Abstract:
    A study of deep levels of the emitter region of a heterojunction bipolar transistor is investigated using deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS), deep level admittance spectroscopy (DLAS), thermally stimulated capacitance (TSCAP), and capacitance-voltage (C-V) profiling. The DX center, with an activation energy of 0.45 eV, is the only deep level...
