The information revolution of the last decade has been fueled by the digitization of almost all human activities through a wide range of Internet services. The backbone of this information age are scale-out datacenters that need to collect, store, and proc ...
Hydrogen-vacancy complexes can form in a material due to the exothermic binding of hydrogen atoms to vacancy sites. We explore the structure and electronic properties of hydrogen-vacancy complexes in delta-Pu using a density functional theory supercell app ...
We demonstrate that n-type black silicon can be passivated efficiently using Atomic Layer Deposited (ALD) Al2O3, reaching maximum surface recombination velocities below 7 cm/s. We show that the low surface recombination velocity results from a higher sensi ...
3-D integration is a promising prospect for implementing high performance multifunctional systems-on- chip. Through Silicon Vias (TSVs) are the enablers for achieving high bandwidth paths in inter-plane communications. TSVs also provide higher vertical lin ...
We present a novel technique for heterogeneous integration using gold filled Through Silicon Vias (TSV) and thermocompression bond bumps formed in a single fabrication step, using gold nanoparticles dispensed by inkjet printing. Gold-filled TSV arrays (12 ...
We present a combined ion imaging and density functional theory study of the dynamics of the desorption process of rubidium and cesium atoms off the surface of helium nanodroplets upon excitation of the perturbed 6s and 7s states, respectively. Both experi ...
Density functional theory calculations have been performed to provide details of the structural and charge-transfer details related to the solid solution of hydrogen in (delta)-plutonium. We follow the Flanagan model that outlines the process by which hydr ...
Three Dimensional (3D) integration, based on through silicon vias (TSV), has the potential to become a key enabling technology for many applications. TSVs are commonly categorized according to their aspect ratio and diameter. An equally important parameter ...
In the framework of the NanoTera project CabTuRes, a system-in-package for a nano-resonator was proposed, integrating CMOS driving electronics and vacuum encapsulation. This doctoral research aimed to investigate 3D-integration technologies for a Single-Wa ...
Platinum/tantalum/silicon ohmic contacts were designed, fabricated and characterized to withstand high-temperature post-processing: the ohmic behavior was maintained after 1 h annealing, at temperatures up to 850 degrees C in an oxidizing environment. A LP ...
