Electrostatic Discharge Protection and Measurement Techniques for Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits
… to improve the measurement capability for RF circuit characterization. One of the new measurement systems is capable of detecting ESD failures in RF circuits with an improved sensitivity. The second new measurement system has a significantly higher measurement bandwidth and dynamic range, …

The Effect Of Hot Carrier Stress On Low Noise Amplifier Radio Frequency Performance Under Weak And Strong Inversion
… degradation of a low noise amplifier (LNA) circuit due to hot carrier effect (HCE) in both the weak and strong inversion regions. Since the figures of merit for the RF circuit characterization are gain, noise figure, input, and output matching, the LNA RF performance drift is evaluated in a …

VLSI Implementation of a Run-time Configurable Computing Integrated Circuit - The Stallion Chip
… configurable computing "FPGA"-like integrated circuit with a coarse grained nature. Based on the result of the first generation device, the Colt chip, the Stallion chip is a follow-up configurable computing chip. This thesis focuses on the VLSI layout implementation of the Stallion chip. Effort …

Technology assessment and market analysis of solid state ultracapacitors
… current loss in the commonly used equivalent circuit characterization model and therefore does not contribute to the energy density enhancement. It is also found that the geometric dispersion of conductive particles does not contribute to the energy storage capability. Hence, it is concluded …

Delta-gap port model for surface-volume-surface electric field integral equation
… of network parameters in 3D interconnects, and characterization of the microwave circuits. The delta-gap source model for SVS-EFIE is derived from the conventional delta-gap model used in the classical surface EFIE. However, due to single-source nature of the SVS-EFIE equation, the net current …

A Platform for Microbial Evolution and Characterization
… to form biofilms enables longterm evolution and characterization experiments in E. coli. Theory: We develop a stochastic hybrid systems model for evolution in a turbidostat. With our model we show that there exists an optimally challenging environment as well as optimal population size for single …

Probabilistic design for emerging memory and nanometer-scale logic
… behavior in very large scale integrated circuits (VLSI) has become an ever-more important concern. This dissertation investigates two distinct classes of problems that require the use of probabilistic methods and models: (1) Modeling and exploiting stochastic behavior in advanced memory …
