Progress in nanotechnology, including fabrication and characterization tools, opened up the unprecedented low dimensional materials era, where we can manipulate and structure matter on a size scale that we could not reach before. Due to many interesting pr ...
For biomolecule sensing purposes a solid-state nanopore platform based on silicon has certain advantages as compared to nanopores on other substrates such as graphene, silicon nitride, silicon oxide etc Capitalizing on the developed CMOS technology, nanopo ...
GaN-on-Si high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) exhibit excellent properties for efficient power conversion. Nevertheless, a considerable energy loss associated with the charging and discharging of the output capacitance (COSS) in these transistors se ...
Broadband electrostatic force microscopy can be used to non-destructively image n-type and p-type dopant layers in silicon devices with a lateral resolution of 10 nm and a vertical resolution of 0.5 nm. Integrated circuits and certain silicon-based quantum ...
Neural interfaces are devices that are implanted into the body and interface electrically with the central (CNS) or peripheral nervous system. They are inserted surgically for short periods of time or chronically to diagnose or treat several neural disease ...
Dielectric breakdown etching is a well-known method of making nanopores on thin (similar to 50 nm) dielectric membranes. However, voltage driven translocation of biomolecules through such nanopores becomes extremely fast. For improved detection, for instan ...
High-energy physics (HEP) experiments and space missions share a common challenge: thermal management in harsh environments. The severe constraints in both fields make cooling of electronic components a major design concern. This thesis aims to develop hig ...
Gain-cell embedded DRAM (GC-eDRAM) is an attractive alternative to conventional SRAM due to its high-density, low-leakage, and inherent two-ported functionality. However, its dynamic storage mechanism requires power-hungry refresh cycles to maintain data. ...
Silicon transistor scaling is approaching its end and a transition to novel materials and device concepts is more than ever essential. High-mobility compound semiconductors are considered promising candidates to replace silicon, targeting low-power logic a ...
With the increasing capabilities of the microelectronics technology, future particle detectors in high energy physics will be able to yield high-level features that are not only simple geometrical positions or energy measurement in the silicon sensors used ...
