Investigation Of Optical And Structural Properties Of Gesn Heterostructures, Oluwatobi Gabriel Olorunsola
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Silicon (Si)-based optoelectronics have gained traction due to its primed versatility at developing light-based technologies. Si, however, features indirect bandgap characteristics and suffers relegated optical properties compared to its III-V counterparts. III-Vs have also been hybridized to Si platforms but the resulting technologies are expensive and incompatible with standard complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor processes. Germanium (Ge), on the other hand, have been engineered to behave like direct bandgap material through tensile strain interventions but are well short of attaining extensive wavelength coverage. To create a competitive material that evades these challenges, transitional amounts of Sn can be incorporated into Ge matrix to form …
Distributed Modeling Approach For Electrical And Thermal Analysis Of High-Frequency Transistors, Amirreza Ghadimi Avval
Distributed Modeling Approach For Electrical And Thermal Analysis Of High-Frequency Transistors, Amirreza Ghadimi Avval
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The research conducted in this dissertation is focused on developing modeling approaches for analyzing high-frequency transistors and present solutions for optimizing the device output power and gain. First, a literature review of different transistor types utilized in high-frequency regions is conducted and gallium nitride high electron mobility transistor is identified as the promising device for these bands. Different structural configurations and operating modes of these transistors are explained, and their applications are discussed. Equivalent circuit models and physics-based models are also introduced and their limitations for analyzing the small-signal and large-signal behavior of these devices are explained. Next, a model …
Direct Torque Control For Silicon Carbide Motor Drives, Mohammad Hazzaz Mahmud
Direct Torque Control For Silicon Carbide Motor Drives, Mohammad Hazzaz Mahmud
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Direct torque control (DTC) is an extensively used control method for motor drives due to its unique advantages, e.g., the fast dynamic response and the robustness against motor parameters variations, uncertainties, and external disturbances. Using higher switching frequency is generally required by DTC to reduce the torque ripples and decrease stator current total harmonic distortion (THD), which however can lower the drive efficiency. Through the use of the emerging silicon carbide (SiC) devices, which have lower switching losses compared to their silicon counterparts, it is feasible to achieve high efficiency and low torque ripple simultaneously for DTC drives.
To overcome …

Si-Based Germanium Tin Photodetectors For Infrared Imaging And High-Speed Detection, Huong Tran
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Infrared (IR) radiation spans the wavelengths of the windows: (1) near-IR region ranging from 0.8 to 1.0 μm, (2) shortwave IR (SWIR) ranging from 1.0 to 3.0 μm, (3) mid-wave IR (MWIR) region covering from 3.0 to 5.0 μm, (4) longwave IR (LWIR) spanning from 8.0 to 12.0 μm, and (5) very longwave IR extending beyond 12.0 μm. The MWIR and LWIR regions are important for night vision in the military, and since the atmosphere does not absorb at these wavelengths, they are also used for free-space communications and astronomy. Automotive and defect detection in the food industry and electronic …
