  • Three-dimensional finite element design procedure for the brushless doubly fed machine

    Creator:
    Thompson, Brenda E.
    Abstract:
    Brushless Doubly Fed Machines (BDFM) have potential advantages in variable speed generation and adjustable speed drive applications. The most significant of these advantages is a reduction in the power electronic converter rating, and therefore a reduction in overall system cost. Presently, efforts are being directed at optimizing the design of...

  • Monte Carlo device modeling applications on parallel computers

    Creator:
    Pennathur, Shankar S.
    Abstract:
    One of the ways of countering the ever increasing computational requirements in the simulation and modeling of electrical and electromagnetic devices and phenomena, is the development of simulation and modeling tools on parallel computing platforms. In this thesis, a previously developed Monte Carlo parallel device simulator is utilized, enhanced, and...

  • Design, fabrication and characterization of complementary heterojunction field effect transistors

    Creator:
    McMahon, Terry E. (Terry Edwin), 1963-
    Abstract:
    Complementary delta-doped AlGaAs/GaAs Heterojunction Field Effect Transistor (CHFET) devices and circuits were fabricated using MBE and a 2μ non-planar gate recess process. Several schemes were used in an attempt to improve the performance of the p-channel HFETs. These included delta-doping, carbon-doping and dipole-doping. Circuits and individual n- and p- channel...

  • Designing for the Future : A Generalized Software Architecture for Virtual Labs

    Creator:
    Thompson, Kyle B.
    Abstract:
    In recent years, simulated laboratory experiences have become more prevalent in educational curricula. These simulations, called virtual labs, can enable learning in ways that are not limited by physical constraints. The development of virtual labs is often ad hoc, resulting in unnecessary, repetitive work. The purpose of this thesis is...

  • Two dimensional numerical simulation of a non-isothermal GaAs MESFET

    Creator:
    Lin, Angela A.
    Abstract:
    The low thermal conductivity of gallium arsenide compared to silicon results in self-heating effects in GaAs MESFETs that limit the electrical performance of such devices for high power applications. To date, analytical thermal models of self heating in GaAs MESFETs are based on the assumption of a uniformly heated channel....

    Creator:
    Press, Stephen E.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents the design of a 10 bit Analog to Digital Converter which consists of a 6 bit flash followed by a 4 bit pipeline architecture. The total system is described and the 4 bit pipeline is implemented on a bipolar process. The objective of this research is to...

  • Hot electron transport and relaxation in quantum wells and superlattices

    Creator:
    Lary, Jenifer Edith
    Abstract:
    Electron transport and relaxation may be substantially different in low-dimensional systems compared to that observed in bulk material. In the present work, Monte Carlo models are used for the solution to the Boltzmann transport equation, with scattering rates calculated quantum mechanically for superlattice and quantum wells. Carrier relaxation following optical...

    Creator:
    Chang, Chujyh
    Abstract:
    Different gate length (0.5 μm 16 μm) Al GaAs/GaAs and AIGaAs /InGaAs High Electron Mobility Transistors were electrically characterized in order to compare the room temperature DC device performance with one-dimensional device models. Model parameters such as the channel mobility and source/drain series resistances are extracted from independent measurement of...

  • A parallel/vector Monte Carlo MESFET model for shared memory machines

    Creator:
    Huster, Carl R.
    Abstract:
    The parallelization and vectorization of Monte Carlo algorithms for modelling charge transport in semiconductor devices are considered. The standard ensemble Monte Carlo simulation of a three parabolic band model for GaAs is first presented as partial verification of the simulation. The model includes scattering due to acoustic, polar-optical and intervalley...
