Study Of Direct Semiconductor Materials For An Optically Controlled Switch, Sung Taek Ko Apr 1989

Study Of Direct Semiconductor Materials For An Optically Controlled Switch, Sung Taek Ko

Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations

A model for a bulk GaAs photoconductive switch has been developed and solved to determine the performance of the device in closing and opening switch applications. The GaAs material has been characterized by deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). Two electron traps (EL2 and EL5) and one hole trap (CuB} have been detected and were included in the model. Simulation studies are performed on several GaAs switch systems composed of different combinations and density of deep levels to investigate the influence of deep traps in a photoconductive switch system. The electron occupancy of each deep trap is traced in …

Design Of The Electronics And Optics Needed To Support Charge-Coupled Devices : A Project Report ..., Kah Yep Zee

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Over the last five years, charge-coupled devices (CCD) have been improved dramatically in terms of sensitivity, manufacturability and particularly, cost. This has enabled them to be used economically in many more industrial and commercial electronic imaging processes. They are found in products ranging from video cameras to satellite-based camera systems. This has sparked my interests in these devices, and with a great deal of encouragement from Dr. Turpin, I decided to base my Master's thesis/project on a CCD. The project was mainly based on the design of the electronics and optics needed to support a CCD. The particular circuit design …
