Mechanisms of wafer sawing and impact on wafer properties

Christophe Ballif, Mathijs Pieter van der Meer, Johann Michler, Adrien Bidiville

Silicon wafer wire-sawing experiments were realized with different sets of sawing parameters, and the thickness, roughness, and cracks depth of the wafers were measured. The results are discussed in relation to assumptions underlying the rolling-indenting ...

Cooperative coding on orthogonal information networks

Dinkar Vasudevan

The focus of this thesis is on communication over cooperative information networks. In the first half of the thesis, we consider lossy source coding problems where a relay assists in the communication of a source stream between two terminals. The following ...

User-level Internet tomography and overlay routing

Xuan Hung Nguyen

In this thesis, we study methods to detect, localize and overcome performance problems experienced by end-users in communication networks. These problems are extremely difficult to solve when the only available information are end-to-end data. We first con ...

Mobility in wireless networks: friend or foe : network design and control in the age of mobile computing

Jun Luo

Wireless networking technologies allow computing devices to move while keeping them online, but the device mobility poses considerable technical challenges. Network designers, on the one hand, consider mobility to be harmful because it leads to dynamic and ...
