Nanomechanical resonators fabricated by atomic layer deposition on suspended 2D materials

Atomic layer deposition (ALD), a layer-by-layer controlled method to synthesize ultrathin materials, provides various merits over other techniques such as precise thickness control, large area scalability and excellent conformality. Here we demonstrate the possibility of using ALD growth on top of suspended 2D materials to fabricate...

From Clicks to Conscious Choices: Investigating the Effects of Carbon Footprint Data in E-Commerce Recommender Systems

<br/>One of the contributing factors to climate change is the release of gases, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), which is amplified by the expanding E-commerce industry. E-commerce enterprises heavily depend on recommender systems as a means to incentivize consumers towards making product purchases. This master's thesis investigates the...

Monolithic Integration of LEDs and SPADs in Standard CMOS Technology for Optical Joystick Application

The interest in combining optical functionality with integrated circuits has grown in recent years due to reduced manufacturing costs and increased yields. However, the poor efficiency of silicon based light sources has been a major obstacle in achieving this goal. Single-photon avalanche diode technology has proven to be highly efficient in...
