Investigation of the electron transport and electrostatics of nanoscale strained Si/Si/Ge heterostructure MOSFETs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
This thesis presents work aimed at investigating the possible benefit of strained-Si/SiGe heterostructure MOSFETs designed for nanoscale (sub-50-nm) gate lengths with the aid of device fabrication and electrical measurements ...
SIP : a smart digital image processing library
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
The Smart Image Processing (SIP) library was developed to provide automated real-time digital image processing functions on camera phones with integer microprocessors. Many of the functions are not available on commercial ...
Image engine study : strategic dynamic control for low volume potentially high mix modules
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
The main goal of this project was to provide a case study on image engines for the purpose of developing a supply chain strategy. Initially, the current digital image engine manufacturing core competencies and respective ...
Design of a World-Wide Simulation Web
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
The World-Wide Simulation Web (WWSW) is an emergent distributed simulation environment whose use model parallels that of the World-Wide Web (WWW). The idea was developed from working with two generations of the Distributed ...
The application of photosynthetic materials and architectures to solar cells
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Photosynthetic approaches to redesigning photovoltaics (PV) offer an attractive route towards achieving high-efficiency, low-cost solar energy transduction. This thesis explores two routes toward this end: the direct ...
Motion pattern analysis for far-field vehicle surveillance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
The main goal of this thesis is to analyze the motion patterns in far-field vehicle tracking data collected by multiple, stationary non-overlapping cameras. The specific focus is to fully recover the camera's network ...
Characterization and modeling of plasma etch pattern dependencies in integrated circuits
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
A quantitative model capturing pattern dependent effects in plasma etching of integrated circuits (ICs) is presented. Plasma etching is a key process for pattern formation in IC manufacturing. Unfortunately, pattern dependent ...
Cell modulated DC/DC converter
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
A very high frequency converter roughly based on a class E topology is investigated for replacing a conventional boost converter circuit. The loss mechanisms in class E inverters are characterized, and metrics are developed ...
Using a gimbal to calibrate an inertial measurement unit
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
In this thesis, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) consisting of 3 accelerometers and 3 rate gyros is created using off-the-shelf sensors from STMicro and Analog Devices. A novel technique for calibrating the orientation, ...
Understanding program structure and behavior
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
A large software system usually has structure in it. Several functions work together to accomplish a certain task, and several tasks are grouped together to perform a bigger task. In order to understand this division, one ...
