Fabrication and Analysis of Bottom Gate Nanocrystalline Silicon Thin Film Transistors
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-25)Thin film transistors (TFTs) have brought prominent growth in both variety and utility of large area electronics market over the past few decades. Nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si:H) TFTs have attracted attention recently, ... -
Fabrication and Characterization of Nanowires and Quantum Dots for Advanced Solar Cell Architectures
(University of Waterloo, 2012-05-01)The commercially available solar cells suffer from low conversion efficiency due to the thermalization and transmission losses arising from the mismatch between the band gap of the semiconductor materials and the solar ... -
Fabrication of Surface Metal Matrix Composites Using Friction Stir Processing
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-19)Friction stir processing has been employed to produce metal matrix composites by incorporating reinforcement particles in an Al 5059 matrix. Various particles with sizes from 130 nm to 4.3 um, and different process ... -
Fabrication, Testing and Characterization of MEMS Gyroscope
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-16)This thesis presents the design, fabrication and characterization of two Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) vibratory gyroscopes fabricated using the Silicon-On-Insulator-Multi-User-MEMS Process (SOIMUMPs) and Polysilicon ... -
Re-Imagining Concrete: A Material First Design Approach
(University of Waterloo, 2019-10-15)This thesis asks the question: “What if we began the creative process of design with material?” In an age where digital images dominate the design process, architecture’s main medium of expression remains through matter. ... -
Silicon Nanowire Based Photodetectors: Modeling and Fabrication
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-18)This research is focused on investigating the role of silicon nanowires in designing high gain, high sensitivity photodetectors, and is based on both device modeling and fabrication. We demonstrate that the superior ...
