Efficient Determination of Copper Electroplating Chemistry Additives using Advanced Neural Network Algorithms
(2015-04-30)
Copper plating is the metallization process of choice for modern semiconductor devices. It has proven to be a relatively inexpensive and simple process and easily adaptable to high volume manufacturing. The development of ...
A digital method to determine the transmissibility of a MEMS device
(2015-01-07)
A microcontroller based technique for measuring the transmissibility of a MEMS device is very useful and meaningful. The resulting data can provide feedback to improve the design, modeling and fabrication process. A new ...
Thin Film Multichip Packaging for High Temperature Geothermal Application
(2015-07-28)
A DOE sponsored study by MIT concluded that geothermal energy could provide 100,000 MWe or more in 50 years by using advanced technology knowns as Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). In EGS, the measurement-while-drilling ...
Multi-robot SLAM and map merging
(2015-05-04)
Although it is a very useful technique for a robot to detect an unknown environment and plot the map, mapping is a classic problem in robotics. The mapping task can be sped up by multi-robot cooperation. Each robot in a ...
Channel State Information Fingerprinting Based Indoor Localization: a Deep Learning Approach
(2015-07-28)
With the fast growing demand of location-based services in indoor environments, indoor positioning based on fingerprinting has attracted a lot of interest due to its high accuracy. In this thesis, we present a novel deep ...
Resonant Frequencies in Aviation Platforms
(2015-03-09)
This thesis examines the coupling effects of electromagnetic fields to the interior of aviation platforms during electromagnetic vulnerability (EMV) testing and the potential of resonant frequency field enhancements. ...
Diagnostic Test Generation for Transition Delay Faults Using a Two-Timeframe ATPG Model
(2015-07-24)
Determining the location and cause of a defect in a faulty circuit plays a vital role in VLSI testing. These are critical factors in boosting product quality and reducing manufacturing costs.
An automatic test generation ...
SPICE model implementation of a quantum phase-slip junction
(2015-07-24)
A quantum phase-slip is a superconducting phenomenon, which is identified as an exact
dual to Josephson tunneling. Therefore, the device known as a quantum phase-slip junction is
expected to be as significant and fundamental ...
Digital Testing with Multi-Valued Logic Signals
(2015-04-27)
The integrated circuit scaling has been following the Moore’s Law since 1965 [59, 60, 61]. Within these decades, researchers made great effort to shrink the transistor feature size and maximize the integration level. ...
GPS Multipath Detection and Mitigation Timing Bias Techniques
(2015-05-08)
In this thesis, timing-based methods of multipath mitigation and detection are developed.
GPS pseudorange measurements are used to calculate a receiver's position and timing
bias, which is a measurement of the di erence ...
