Fall 2011
This work investigates the use of nanoimprint lithography for creating nanoscale resonator devices for applications in mass sensing. A bilayer resist consisting of PMMA 495/LOR 3A allowed the ideal imprint yield for resonators with widths ranging from 300 nm down to 120 nm. Resonators with...

Fundamentals of Film Growth by Glancing Angle Deposition for Inorganic and Inorganic/Liquid Crystal Hybrid Optical Systems
DownloadFall 2011
This thesis investigates two facets of thin film growth via glancing angle deposition. The first half of the work focuses on the fundamentals of film growth with a focus on uniformity and optical design. This portion of the thesis addresses important engineering questions that are relevant to...

High Surface Area Nanoelectromechanical Systems via the Integration of Glancing Angle Deposition Thin Films
DownloadFall 2013
High surface area nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) are fabricated using glancing angle deposition (GLAD) thin films as the high surface area layer. The GLAD films are deposited on already-released NEMS cantilevers and doubly clamped beams (DCBs) with good uniformity. The resonance frequencies...

Fall 2013
Modern integrated and system-on-chip electronics require high-quality on-chip passive components. Existing inductor designs for microwave and millimetre-wave applications are typically prohibitively large and have low quality factors, requiring circuit designers to avoid integrating them or to...
