  • Amorphous oxide semiconductors in circuit applications

    Creator:
    McFarlane, Brian Ross
    Abstract:
    The focus of this thesis is the investigation of thin-film transistors (TFTs) based on amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOSs) in two circuit applications. To date, circuits implemented with AOS-based TFTs have been primarily enhancement-enhancement inverters, ring oscillators based on these inverters operating at peak frequencies up to ~400 kHz, and two-transistor...

  • Efficient VLSI architectures for MIMO and cryptography systems

    Creator:
    Li, Qingwei
    Abstract:
    Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems have recently been considered as one of the most significant technology breakthroughs for modern wireless communications, due to the higher spectral efficiency and improved link reliability. The sphere decoding algorithm (SDA) has been widely used for maximum likelihood (ML) detection in MIMO systems. It is...

  • Enabling metal-fill-aware design of integrated circuits

    Creator:
    Shilimkar, Vikas S.
    Abstract:
    In advanced integrated circuit (IC) processes, the metal fill inserted to meet foundry imposed density requirements degrades the performance of interconnects and passive components which ultimately affects the overall circuit performance. Accounting for this degradation through electromagnetic and equivalent circuit modeling is becoming a critical aspect of IC design. However,...

  • Automated analysis, design, and optimization of low noise oscillators

    Creator:
    Vytyaz, Igor
    Abstract:
    Low noise oscillators are universally needed in digital systems for clock generation and synchronization, and in radio-frequency communication front-ends for frequency up- and down-conversion. Noise in oscillators results in timing jitter, and limits the clock frequency of digital systems. In radio-frequency communication systems, phase noise in oscillators lowers the signal-to-noise...
