(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)As the microelectronics industry has moved to Cu as the conductor material, there has been much research into microstructure control in Cu thin films, primarily because grain sizes affect resistivity. Also with Cu-based ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)All scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) are affected by disturbances, or mechanical noise, in their environments which can limit their imaging resolution. This thesis introduces a general approach for suppressing out-of-plane ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Selective epitaxial growth (SEG) of SiGe on patterned SiO2/Si substrates by ultra-high vacuum chemical vapor deposition (UHVCVD) shows promise for the fabrication of novel SiGe microelectronic structures. This work explores ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The performance of a biological scaffold formed by the self-assembling peptide RADA16 is comparable to the most commonly used synthetic materials employed in the culture of neural stem cells. Furthermore, improvements in ...

Self assembly of block copolymers : applicability in microelectronics and gains for patterned media (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)As device size decreases, conventional lithographic methods are finding it increasingly hard to keep up. Introduction of newer method such as E-beam, X-ray lithography etc. has demonstrated possibility of scaling to lower ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)(cont.) and filtration experiments, as well as other characterization techniques. Surface analysis is accomplished via x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Membrane samples are cleaned (in hydrogen peroxide or ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)This thesis describes the synthesis and characterization of semiconductor nanocrystal (quantum dot, QD) embedded composite materials and possible device applications of the resulting luminescent materials. Chemically ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)A search of published research on sensing mechanisms of carbon nanotubes was performed to identify applications in which carbon nanotubes might improve on current sensor technologies, in either offering improved performance, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Recent research has allowed the use of electrode-active materials as actuators by harnessing reversible volumetric change due to intercalation during charging and discharging. These actuators provide a relatively large ...
-
Shear-induced homogeneous deformation twinning in FCC aluminum and copper via automistic simulation (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The {111}<112̄> shear stress-displacement behavior for face-centered cubic (fcc) metals, aluminum and copper, is calculated using empirical potentials proposed by Mishin and by Ercolessi, based on the embedded atom method ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)A novel SixGe₁-x, electro-absorption modulator design is experimentally demonstrated. The device is waveguide integrated, butt-coupled into high index contrast Si/SiO2 waveguides. 0.75% Silicon concentration in the alloy ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)SiGe-on-insulator (SGOI) and strained-Si-on-insulator (SSOI) substrates combine both the benefits of a high-quality, monocrystalline SiGe or strained-Si surface layer with the advantages of an insulating substrate. In ...
