SRAM in Three Dimensional Integrated Circuits

In most of the electronics and communication devices such as mobile, video phone and handheld video games low power and high density SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) is a favor. On the other hand, integration of many functions such as digital, memory, RF and analog circuits is necessary in near future. Scaling is one of the solutions to...

Modeling and design of integrated tunable patch reflector array for mm-wave antennas.

Millimeter wave sensor and communication technology may prove to be one of the key technologies of the 21st century covering a broad range of applications including high-speed telecommunication, medical diagnostics and security. The ultimate (commercial) success of these systems depends on their monolithic integration which brings about...

OLED Display with Single Grain Si TFT. (SG-TFT)

OLED is a current based device, which emitted amount of light depends on the current supplied to the device so steady current flow is needed. In Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (AMOLED) Display. TFTs are used as driving transistors for OLED. Because of the non uniformity of the TFTs, variation in threshold voltage and mobility has a...

A Micro Surgical Instrument for Age Related Macular Degeneration

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a degenerative condition of the macula, which results in a loss of vision. AMD is a common contributor to vision loss in adults over the age of 50. In Western countries, AMD affects nearly 30% of the individuals over the age of 75. In the Rotterdam Eye Hospital an experimental surgical procedure has been...

Micro-Fluidic MEMS for Micro-Particle Filtration

Recently there has been an onset of fluidic filters fabricated using micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology. These filters, compared to conventional ones, are more accurate and precise due to the highly sophisticated techniques that are used to define and implement the separation mechanism. In order to contribute to this new field of...

Thermally Driven Sound Source: Application of CNT nanofoams

On chip grown CNT nanofoam has a large surface to volume ratio and excellent thermal electrical properties, which is suitable to be used as a thermoacoustic heater. The highly porous foam exchanges heat with surrounding air efficiently. Every processing step is specifically designed to be CMOS compatible using cleanroom microfabrication. This...

Flexible Interposer Based on Carbon Nanotubes and PDMS Composite

A new method of flexible interposer with vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) embedded in polymer is proposed in this thesis. Interposer, working as electrical routing between different sockets or connections, is being used for spreading connections and rerouting in packaging technology nowadays. With the rapidly growing application of...
