  • Electrically tunable thin-film inductors based on synthetic antiferromagnet cores

    Creator:
    An, Na
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research is to demonstrate the feasibility of implementing electrically tunable on-chip inductors based on synthetic antiferromagnet (SAF) cores. This thin film magnetic core is made of a magnetic bi-layer antiferromagnetically coupled through a nonmagnetic spacer layer. An energy model is developed to investigate the magnetic behavior...

  • Field-Free Precessional Magnetization Switching by Focused Surface Acoustic Waves

    Creator:
    Lin, Han-Ting
    Abstract:
    In this research, the possibility of the precessional magnetization switching by focused surface acoustic waves, without external magnetic field, has been demonstrated. The technique of generating an effective magnetic field by applying stress to a magnetostrictive material via a surface acoustic wave is applied to perform field-free magnetization switching. It...

  • Radiation tolerance of magnetic tunnel junctions with MgO barriers

    Creator:
    Ren, Fanghui
    Abstract:
    In the next decade, technology trends--smaller dimension, lower voltage, higher operating frequency--introduce new technical considerations and challenges for radiation effects in integrated circuits. Semiconductor based circuits and traditional dynamic random-access memories will malfunction when exposed to extreme environments, such as space and nuclear reactor. The mechanisms for radiation effect are...

  • Electrical characterization of thermally reduced graphite oxide

    Creator:
    Jewell, Ira
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes the transport properties observed in thermally treated graphite oxide (GO), which holds promise as an economical route to obtaining graphene. Graphene is a material consisting of a single atomic plane of carbon atoms and was first isolated as recently as 2004. Several isolation techniques have been investigated,...

  • 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...

  • Implementation of an ultra-wideband transceiver for sensor applications

    Creator:
    Jann, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    Ultra-wideband (UWB) radio is the transmission of data using an extremely wide bandwidth and very low power spectral density. In this thesis, the mereits and challenges of UWB architectures versus conventional narrowband architectures will be compared. Pulsed UWB systems can be implemented with very simple architectures. These advantages make UWB...

  • Design techniques for radiation hardened-phase locked loops

    Creator:
    Nemmani, Anantha Nag
    Abstract:
    Spacecrafts experience radiation in the course of their operation and all electronic equipment on board these spacecrafts has to be designed to withstand the effects of this radiation. This thesis describes the effects of total ionization dose (TID) and single event transients (SET) in phase-locked loops - an important circuit...

  • Designing bulk acoustic wave resonators for parametric amplification of spin waves

    Creator:
    Chowdhury, Pratim
    Abstract:
    Spintronics is an emerging field of research dealing with devices that can potentially exploit the additional degree of freedom provided by the electron spin along with or instead of the conventional electronic charge. One of the most promising aspects of spintronics is the potential use of magnetostatic spin waves as...

  • Electrical recommendations and formulas for metal fill in radio-frequency integrated circuits

    Creator:
    Gaskill, Steven
    Abstract:
    With increasing transistor operating frequencies, interconnects and passive devices are becoming performance limiters in integrated circuit (IC) designs. To combat this, the interconnect layers above the active silicon are trending toward low-κ dielectrics and Cu metallization. The use of these new materials has popularized chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) to planarize...

  • Noise coupling techniques in multi-cell delta-sigma modulators

    Creator:
    Bonu, Madhulatha
    Abstract:
    High performance multi-cell delta-sigma modulators are a preferred choice in applications which require programmability. Multi-cell delta-sigma modulators with M unit cells provide 10log10(M) SQNR improvement for the same thermal noise and bias power due to the uncorrelated quantization noises of the M unit ADCs. This concept is used in this...
