Modeling, Simulation and Design of EOS/ESD Protection Devices and Circuits in Silicon-on-Insulator Technology
For the first time, a circuit level simulation tool for CMOS-on-SOI ESD protection networks is presented. The simulator, SOI-iETSIM, has built-in device models for completely coupled electrothermal simulation of SOI protection devices operating in the high current regime. The implementation of …

A high-speed, low-power analog-to-digital converter in fully depleted silicon-on-insulator technology
This thesis demonstrates a one-volt, high-speed, ultra-low-power, six-bit flash analog-to-digital converter fabricated in a fully depleted silicon-on-insulator CMOS technology. Silicon-on-insulator CMOS technology provides a number of benefits for low-power low-voltage analog design. The full …

Characterizing within-die and die-to-die delay variations introduced By process variations and SOI history effect
Variations in delay caused by within-die and die-to-die process variations and SOI history effect increase timing margins and reduce performance. In order to develop mitigation techniques to reduce the detrimental effects of delay variations, particularly those that occur within-die, new methods of …

Nonlinear Applications using Silicon Nanophotonic Wires
This thesis is concerned with an emerging set of nonlinear-optical applications using silicon nanophotonic "wires" fabricated on a silicon-on-insulator photonic chip. These deeply scaled silicon nanophotonic wires are capable of confining the telecom and mid-infrared (mid-IR) light tightly into an …
