Simulation of Quantum Parametric Amplifiers
(2021-05-19)
Parametric amplifiers couple a nonlinear element to an external environment, resulting in frequency mixing of a pump tone and a smaller signal tone. The pump’s energy is coupled into the signal tone and an additional idler ...
End-effector Motion and Force Control for Mobile Redundant Manipulators
(2021-07-14)
Manipulators extend the application of mobile platforms, such as unmanned aerial vehicles,
underwater vehicles, and satellites. The dynamic coupling between the manipulators and
mobile base brings great challenges to the ...
Modeling and Optimization of Electron-Beam Lithographic Process
(2021-07-15)
An important issue in electron-beam (e-beam) lithography is to minimize the critical dimension (CD) error and line edge roughness (LER). This dissertation presents a method to measure the CD and LER from scanning electron ...
Toward Zero Backtracks in Test Pattern Search Algorithms with Machine Learning
(2021-07-19)
A digital circuit with n primary input lines has N = 2^n possible input vectors and a test vector that detects a fault in the circuit may be among those 2^n n-bit combinations. A pure random test generator can generate ...
Fabrication and Characterization of Flexible Thin-Film Superconducting Microwave Cables
(2021-07-26)
The future of superconducting and cryogenic electronic systems depends on densely integrated superconducting multi-layer and multi-signal flexible cables due to the massive number of electrical interconnects needed in ...
Novel Approaches for Microelectronics Security and Test
(2021-08-05)
Due to the globalization in semiconductor industry, the cost of maintaining a foundry is enormous. Hence, most integrated circuit (IC) design houses have become fabless. Typically, a design house acquires multiple third ...
Magnetism and Spin Dynamics in Emergent Two-Dimensional van der Waals Magnets
(2021-11-12)
The low Curie temperature of most two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdWs) magnets makes it challenging to incorporate them into device applications. This thesis explores two intriguing materials: Fe5GeTe2, a 2D vdWs room ...
Novel Test Point Insertion Applications in LBIST
(2021-11-15)
Pseudo-random stimulus for digital test is an established industry practice due to its simplicity and significant fault coverage. However, when applied to modern circuits, pseudo-random stimulus can fail to excite and ...
Control, Modeling, and Analysis of Inverter-Based Resources
(2021-11-23)
The increased penetration level of Inverter-Based Resources (IBR) presents new challenges to the planning and operation of electric grids traditionally designed, protected, and operated based on the inherent characteristics ...
Ambiguous Energy Suppression in Encryption Derived Pseudo-Random BPSK Radar Signals
(2021-12-01)
In this thesis, a pseudo-random binary phase shift keying (BPSK) radar signal is developed using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-192). The primary objective of this encryption based BPSK (E-BPSK) signal is to provide a ...
