1. Novel concepts for advanced CMOS : Materials, process and device architecture
Sammanfattning : The continuous and aggressive dimensional miniaturization ofthe conventional complementary-metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS)architecture has been the main impetus for the vast growth ofIC industry over the past decades. As the CMOS downscalingapproaches the fundamental limits, unconventional materials andnovel device architectures are required in order to guaranteethe ultimate scaling in device dimensions and maintain theperformance gain expected from the scaling.

2. Low-frequency noise characterization, evaluation and modeling of advanced Si- and SiGe-based CMOS transistors
Sammanfattning : A wide variety of novel complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) devices that are strong contenders for future high-speed and low-noise RF circuits have been evaluated by means of static electrical measurements and low-frequency noise characterizations in this thesis. These novel field-effect transistors (FETs) include (i) compressively strained SiGe channel pMOSFETs, (ii) tensile strained Si nMOSFETs, (iii) MOSFETs with high-k gate dielectrics, (iv) metal gate and (v) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) devices.

3. Simulation and Electrical Evaluation of 4H-SiC Junction Field Effect Transistors and Junction Barrier Schottky Diodes with Buried Grids
Sammanfattning : Silicon carbide (SiC) has higher breakdown field strength than silicon (Si), which enables thinner and more highly doped drift layers compared to Si. Consequently, the power losses can be reduced compared to Si-based power conversion systems. Moreover, SiC allows the power conversion systems to operate at high temperatures up to 250 oC. LÄS MER
4. Conformational changes in Staphylococcus aureus' alpha-toxin : from water-soluble monomer to a transmembrane channel
Sammanfattning : Alpha-toxin is secreted by Staphylococcus aureus as a soluble monomer that without further activation can oligomerize and form a transmembrane channel. One of the aims of the present work was to understand the underlying mechanisms of the membrane insertion process. LÄS MER
5. Resonant Tunneling in Laterally Confined Quantum Structures
Sammanfattning : In the thesis, three-dimensionally confined resonant tunneling structures were studied experimentally. Two approaches were used for obtaining quantum confinement: gate-defined lateral constriction of double barrier structures, and epitaxial growth of self-assembled quantum dots. LÄS MER
