Spring 2020
Compared to human vision, dynamic range (DR) is a limiting factor for modern cameras. While conventional complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors are limited in their ability to capture DR, nonlinear CMOS image sensors, e.g., with logarithmic (log) or linear-logarithmic...

Design and Investigation of Wide Frequency Tuning Range Millimeter-Wave Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO) in 65nm CMOS Technology
DownloadFall 2019
The available unlicensed spectrum in millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequencies has been a very attractive candidate for high data rate wireless communications, high-resolution radars, and imaging applications. Voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO), which are essential building block of tunable...

Inductors are extensively used in the design of radio-frequency circuits. In the last decade, the integration of passive components, especially inductors on silicon chips, has led to the widespread development and implementation of Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFICs) in CMOS technologies....

Miniaturized genetic analysis systems based on microelectronic and microfluidic technologies
DownloadFall 2010
Genetic analysis is not widely used for disease diagnostics as it is costly and very labour/infrastructure intensive. We believe that by employing both microelectronic and microfabrication technologies, we are able to integrate multiple functionalities into a single, manufacturable, inexpensive...
