Lattice mismatched semiconductor substrates provide a platform for higher performance semiconductor devices. Through epitaxial growth on GaAs, the lattice constant of the film can be expanded resulting in a desired InxGalxAs ...

This thesis presents fabrication process improvements for a RF MEMS resonator for the purpose of improving the quality factor (Q) and extending the frequency range. The process changes include the use of conformable contact ...

As silicon photonics enters mainstream technology, we find ourselves in need of methods to seamlessly transfer light between the optical fibers of global scale telecommunications networks and the on-chip waveguides used ...

Cancer immunotherapy attempts to stimulate the immune system to reject and destroy tumor cells. Despite the amount of ongoing intensive research to prevent cancer, tumor cells continue to evade immune responses. Currently, ...
