Addressing On-Chip Power Conversion and Dissipation Issues in Many-Core System-on-a-Chip based on Conventional Silicon and Emerging Nanotechnologies
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2017)
Integrated circuits (ICs) are moving towards system-on-a-chip (SOC) designs. SOC
allows various small and large electronic systems to be implemented in a single chip. This
approach enables the miniaturization of design ...
Silicon on Ferroelectric Insulator Field Effect Transistor (SOFFET): A Radical Alternative to Overcome the Thermionic Limit
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)
The path of down-scaling traditional MOSFET is reaching its technological,
economic and, most importantly, fundamental physical limits. Before the dead-end of the
roadmap, it is imperative to conduct a broad research ...
Advanced Design and Analysis of UWB U-slot Microstrip Patch Using Theory of Characteristic Modes
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
Ultra wide band is rapidly advancing as a high data rate wireless communication
technology. As is the case in conventional wireless communication systems, an antenna also
plays a very crucial role in UWB systems. ...
Investigation of Interconnect and Device Designs for Emerging Post-MOSFET and Beyond Silicon Technologies
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)
The integrated circuit industry has been pursuing Moore’s curve down to deep
nanoscale dimensions that would lead to the anticipated delivery of 100 billion transistors on
a 300 mm² die operating below 1V supply in the ...
Constraining the Major Merging History of Massive Galaxies: A Comprehensive Analysis of Close Pairs and Tidal Features Using Empirical and Simulated Data
(2021)
Major galaxy merging is a fundamental aspect of the hierarchical structure-growth scenario of the universe, and it is theoretical expected to contribute to several key aspects of galaxy evolution. As such, empirically ...
Characteristic Mode Analysis of Crumpled Graphene Flakes and A New Green’s Functions Evaluation Method for Layered Media
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)
Graphene flakes (GFs) in real composites are rarely perfectly flat, and often exhibit complicated crumpled shapes. Therefore, the goal of this work was to quantify the electromagnetic scattering characteristics of individual ...
Energy and Data Conversion Circuits for Low Power Sensory Systems
(2013)
This dissertation focuses on the problem of increasing the lifetime of wireless sensors. This problem is addressed from two different angles: energy harvesting and data compression. Energy harvesting enables a sensor to ...
Ultra Low Power SubThreshold Device Design Using New Ion Implantation Profile
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)
One of the important aspects of integrated circuit design is doping profile of a transistor
along its length, width and depth. Devices for super-threshold circuit usually employ halo and
retrograde doping profiles in ...
Challenges and solutions for large-scale integration of emerging technologies
(2021)
The semiconductor revolution so far has been primarily driven by the ability to shrink devices and interconnects proportionally (Moore's law) while achieving incremental benefits. In sub-10nm nodes, device scaling reaches ...
RF coupling to realistic wire systems in complex environments
(2021)
With the continuous emergence of new wireless technologies, the possibility of unintentional electromagnetic interference (EMI) increases significantly. EMI coupling pathways to any Device Under Test (DUT) can be classified ...
Function Implementation in a Multi-Gate Junctionless FET Structure
(2023)
This dissertation explores designing and implementing a multi-gate junctionless field-effect transistor (JLFET) structure and its potential applications beyond conventional devices. The JLFET is a promising alternative to ...
An Investigation into the Contribution of Hybrid Renewable Energy System to Utility Grid in the Regions with Arid Climate
(2019)
Increasing the emissions of carbon have a negative impact on our environment, since the beginning of industrial revolution. There is a wide consensus that climate change occurred due to human behavior, mainly from burning ...
Effective Surface Areas and Adsorption Capacity of Graphene with Vacancies
(2023)
Graphene has been heavily researched since Geim and Novosolov won the nobel prize in physics for its mechanical exfoliation from graphite. The atomically thin crystal of carbon atoms has been reported to have novel properties ...
