Characterization, Design, and Modeling of on -Chip Electrostatic Discharge Protection Devices
… accurate ac and transient simulation. Improved avalanche multiplication factor equations are used to avoid convergence problems. Key modeling parameters are analyzed and important elements identified for accurate capture of the trigger voltage. Various trigger mechanisms are then studied to …

Communication-Theoretic Foundations for Optical Receivers Using Dynamically Biased Avalanche Photodiodes
… (leading to high sensitivity) to reduce cost. Avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are commonly used photodetectors in many high-speed optical receivers due to their internal optoelectronic gain, which allows the photogenerated current to dominate the thermal noise without the need for optical …

A Comprehensive Study of Safe-Operating-Area, Biasing Constraints, and Breakdown in Advanced SiGe HBTs
This thesis presents a comprehensive assessment of breakdown and operational voltage constraints in state-of-the-art silicon-germanium (SiGe) heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) BiCMOS technology. Technology scaling of SiGe HBTs for high frequency performance results on lower breakdown …

Toward high-performance, low-power, carbon-based interconnects and transistors
As the physical limits of Moore’s law scaling are immediately apparent, industry has explored new ways of pushing technological progress. For integrated circuit applications, major limiting factors are the electrical and thermal performance of interconnects and transistors. This thesis explores two …
