▼ Concrete is a highly versatile construction material, not only for the reason that it has excellent properties in terms of structural performance, building physics, availability and price, but also because it can be moulded into virtually any shape regardless of its geometric complexity. However, even though current digital design tools allow to effortlessly design and calculate structures, which are exploiting these properties, this potential remains all too often unrealized. This is due to the fact that geometrically complex concrete structures require expensive, one-of-a kind formwork, which can often not be reused or even recycled. Consequently, the current practice for producing non-standard curvilinear architecture in reinforced concrete is neither ecologically sustainable nor economically feasible for a broader range of architectural typologies. Additive fabrication processes, like 3D printing with concrete, on the other hand, currently struggle with the integration of structural reinforcement, limiting the technique to predominantly non-loadbearing applications. This research addresses both issues and proposes a robotic fabrication process, which unifies concrete formwork and structural reinforcement, and hence potentially reduces formwork waste and construction costs for non-standard reinforced concrete constructions. The development of a fully automated robotic fabrication process involved various research disciplines, including architecture, material science, mechanical engineering, robotics, civil engineering as well as control and vision engineering, and was conducted in three stages. A first conceptual stage investigated the reciprocal relationship of fresh concrete and the spatially extruded polymer meshes, and was followed by a second stage, investigating the translation of the material system from polymer to structurally superior steel meshes. In a final stage, the construction system was adapted and further developed to meet the challenges of 1:1 construction. The results were demonstrated in a final loadbearing structure, the Mesh Mould Wall of the DFAB HOUSE on NEST. In conclusion, the research presented in this thesis laid the foundation for developing this prototypical robotic fabrication system further into a commercial robotic construction system.

▼ Fundamental particles are always observed to carry charges which are integral multiples of one-third charge of electron, e /3. While this is a well-established experimental fact, the theoretical understanding for the charge quantization phenomenon is lacking. On the other hand, there exist numerous theoretical models that naturally allow for existence of particles with fractional electromagnetic charge. These particles, if existing, hint towards existence of physics beyond the standard model. Multiple high energy, optical, cosmological and astrophysical considerations restrict the allowable mass-charge parameter space for these fractional charges. Still, a huge unexplored region remains. The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS-II), located at Soudan mines in northern Minnesota, employs germanium and silicon crystals to perform direct searches for a leading candidate to dark matter called Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). Alternately, the low detection threshold allows search for fractional electromagnetic-charged particles, or Lightly Ionizing Particles (LIPs), moving at relativistic speed. Background rejection is obtained by requiring that the magnitude and location of energy deposited in each detector be consistent with corresponding ?signatures? resulting from the passage of a fractionally charged particle. In this dissertation, the CDMS-II data is analyzed to search for LIPs, with an expected background of 0.078?0.078 events. No candidate events are observed, allowing exclusion of new parameter space for charges between e /6 and e /200. With primary aim to increase sensitivity to detect WIMPs, it is necessary to expand the detector count and mass by more than two orders of magnitude over CDMS-II. This also increases sensitivity to detect LIPs. It becomes imperative to obtain repeatability in the detection sensor quality over multiple detectors. In this dissertation, we also describe the improvements and process flow optimizations implemented to obtain higher yield in fabrication of useful detectors with homogeneous sensor properties within each detector and among different batches. It also allows for reduction in fabrication time, cost and removal of avoidable cost-intensive steps like ion-implantation. Most important is the control in obtaining tungsten thin film with desired superconducting transition temperature and improvements in photolithographic steps for sensor fabrication.

La compression directe est l’une des méthodes de fabrication de comprimés les plus communes et économiques de l’industrie pharmaceutique. Cependant, l’utilisation de ce procédé requiert souvent un changement de formulation. Puisque le séné, un extrait naturel de plante, n’est pas un matériel compressible, des méthodologies de conception d’expériences et de qualité par conception ont été utilisées pour développer une formulation convenable pour la compression directe des comprimés de séné. Le nouveau produit formulé a démontré plusieurs bénéfices reliés au temps de fabrication, aux besoins en main d’œuvre et aux besoins en machineries. De plus, la stabilité du produit, emballé dans des bouteilles de polyéthylène exposées à des conditions extrêmes pendant six mois, a démontré des résultats conformes aux limites spécifiées à l’interne. Cependant, il reste quelques défis à relever concernant la détermination de la vitesse de fabrication à grande échelle et de la stabilité du produit à long terme. Néanmoins, l’implémentation du procédé de compression directe démontre suffisamment de bénéfices à long terme pour remplacer le procédé courant de granulation humide.

Direct compression is becoming one of the most common and economical method of tablets manufacturing in the pharmaceutical industry. However, the feasibility of this process often results in formulation change. Since senna powder, a natural plant extract, is not a compressible material, methodologies such as Design of Experiments (DOE) and Quality by Design (QbD) were used in this project to develop a suitable formulation for the direct compression process of senna tablets. The newly formulated product demonstrated benefits with regards to process time, manpower and machinery requirements. Furthermore, product stability in high density polyethylene bottles exposed to accelerated conditions over a six months period, demonstrated results that conforms to the limits specified in-house. Nevertheless, a few challenges remain in terms of establishing the process speed in large scale manufacturing and establishing the product shelf life upon completion of long term stability studies. In spite of these challenges, implementing the direct compression process to manufacture senna tablets instead of continuing with the wet granulation process demonstrated sufficient benefits to adopt this new process for the long run.

▼ Recent advances in micro fabrication technology have resulted in proliferation of microscale mechanical devices, most of which are applied in the biomedical field and clinical diagnostics. One of the most promising technology platform is microflow cytometry, which requires biological cells to be focused in single file and presented in front of a detection system. The heart of a microflow cytometer is the generation of a sample stream with a diameter of the order of the particles to be measured. In order to be successfully analysed and to reduce measurement errors, particles should be focused in all three dimensions. Limitation in fabrication capability at reduced scales has resulted in adapting the macroscopic approach to a more simplified planar one. In recent years, a number of three dimensional flow focusing devices have been documented, but the "perfect" system still has to come. The primary objective of this research thesis is to demonstrate that a microdevice for 3D hydrodynamic focusing can be fabricated at a dimension achievable from cost effective CNC manufacture. In order to do so, two devices of same design but different scale have been fabricated. CFD and confocal experiments demonstrated the ability of the proposed design to fully control size and dimension of the focused stream. The sample stream diameter were ten to twenty times smaller than the channel dimensions. Horizontal and vertical hydrodynamic focusing can be obtained independently and the flow remains stable until Re=30, which is six times higher than the appropriate operating condition of previously presented devices. The injection of microbeads proved that a stable cells/particles line-up can be achieved with 90% efficiency. The proposed device was also successfully employed with biological cells. A simple approximation of the theoretical model to predict the size of the focused stream is also presented. An automated fluorescence-based optical counting technique was integrated with the system and evaluated using two different cell lines. This method compares favorably to the Trypan blue exclusion assay and to the visual count of the cells from the digital picture. In order to further improve the efficiency of the technique, the proposed device was employed to vertically focus the cells in a narrow region in the centre of the channel and therefore reduce fluorescence variability. Cell aggregation and sedimentation into the cell dispensing apparatus was reduced without reducing cell viability by developing a novel magnetic stirrer Advisors/Committee Members: Newport, David, Woulfe, Bernie.

▼ Metal nanostructures play a crucial role in the emerging field of nanotechnology because they overcome the diffraction limitation. Plasmonic activities in metal nanostructures have the ability to scatter and absorb light at nanometer dimensions. There are several types of nanofabrication techniques that can make accurately sized structures but they are slow and expensive. Whereas, self-assembly technique is a high throughput and low cost process. There is a need to understand whether a self-assembled hexagonal lattice can replace the more expensive fabrication method for a number of applications. The objective of this thesis was to develop a scalable and cost-effective self-assembled hexagonal lattice and analyze its viability for replacing plasmonic lattices made using lithography. Localized plasmon resonance is non-propagating excitation of conduction electrons in metallic structures coupled with the electromagnetic waves. Plasmonic activity in the metal nanostructures depends on their geometrical parameters. Metal nanostructures are used to guide and manipulate light at the nanoscale. Silica nanobeads were used to obtain real values for nanopillar centers which were required to develop a computer algorithm to create replicas of a self-assembled hexagonal lattice. A simulation tool, EM Explorer, was used to study the plasmonic activities of the self-assembled hexagonal lattice and a periodic hexagonal lattice. Self-assembled hexagonal lattices were fabricated using silica nanobead etching masks, reactive ion etching and thermal evaporation of the metal layer. The optimum geometrical parameters for the selfassembled hexagonal lattice were d = 365 nm and h = 70 nm. A self-assembled hexagonal lattice had average electric field intensity 19 times greater than that of incident light and 23.9 times greater than that for a periodic hexagonal lattice and 60% wider resonant bandwidth. This indicates self-assembled hexagonal lattices are scalable and could be a low cost alternative to electron beam lithography. Future research can include measurement of upconversion enhancement by coating a self-assembled hexagonal lattice with upconversion nanoparticles in PMMA over.

▼ Integrated fabrication techniques in order to develop novel multi-functional hybrid materials for potential applications in energy conversion and sustainability were investigated. There are three major areas of investigation involved. First, we developed and demonstrated more efficient and cost effective alternative synthesis techniques to fabricate hybrid materials. Second, we designed and synthesized a new class of hybrid materials, for energy conversion, and evaluate their performance. Third, we synthesized and characterized new wear and corrosion resistant materials. Experimental approaches, including fabrication process development, materials preparation, characterization, and physical analysis were used. The study was validated to be beneficial for future design and development of hybrid material systems via more efficient and cost effective advanced fabrication techniques targeting energy conversion, wear and corrosion resistance. The first part of research focused on fabrication. Rapid solidification, thermal treatment, and spin coating techniques were studied and integrated into effective techniques for making new hybrid materials. The processing time, temperature, and environments were evaluated against microstructure. Eventually, two classes of novel hybrid materials were developed. The second part of research focused on fabrication of a new hybrid material utilizing rapid solidification, and spin coating processes. Piezoelectric poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) with magnetocaloric Gd5Si2Ge2 was developed. The PVDF ? Gd5Si2Ge2 hybrid material system was found to convert magnetic energy into electrical power. The maximum electrical power output was 0.11 V that is equivalent to a power density of 14.3 mW/cm³ Oe. An adiabatic device was built to test for pyroelectric energy conversion. This device was built in such a way that it can also be further used for waste heat recovery. The power density and the conversion efficiency were calculated. The very same system was capable of pyroelectric energy conversion using the adiabatic device. The efficiency for the energy converter was 0.43% and the maximum voltage output was 0.16 V. The third part of the research focused on fabrication of a new hybrid material utilizing rapid solidification, and thermal treatment processes. A quasicrystalline Al75Mn14Si7Fe4 with Ferro-Silico-Aluminate geopolymer phase hybrid material system was also fabricated. The role of geopolymer phase on the wear and corrosion resistance was studied. The relative amount of icosahedral (i-phase) phase was attributed to the wear resistance. The geopolymer phase was responsible for the increased corrosion resistance.

▼ Graphene is a new two-dimensional (2D) material with unique electrical transport, optical and mechanical properties. However, monolayer graphene (MLG) is a gapless semiconductor, which limits its relevance for transistor applications where a large on/off ratio of the current is required. In this work the investigation of transport properties of few-layer graphene (FLG) is presented. These 2D electronic systems offer a novel solution to the problem concerned the absence of an energy gap in single layer graphene, since they exhibit an electric field and stacking-dependent band gap in the energy dispersion. Thus far, a clear observation of a band-gap in multilayer graphene (e.g. Bernal-stacked bilayers) in transport measurements was hindered by the presence of disorder. Here we develop a reliable and effective method of fabrication of high-quality suspended double-gated graphene devices, which are of crucial importance for probing the low energy dispersion of few-layer graphene. The current annealing technique, described in details, improves transport characteristics like carrier mobility, which is typically higher than ∼ 104 cm2/Vs for our multilayer devices. Electrical transport experiments on suspended dual-gated ABC-stacked trilayer are performed. We report the direct evidence of the opening of a tunable band-gap with an external perpendicular electric field, ranging from 0 meV up to 5.2 meV for an electric field of 117 mV/nm. Thermally activated transport is observed in these samples over the temperature range 0.5 - 80 K. The values of energy gap extracted from both temperature dependence of minimum conductivity measurements and non-linear I –V characteristics correlate well. Our experimental results are in a good agreement with theoretical approximation, based on self-consistent tight-binding calculations. The high quality of our ABC trilayer samples is also demonstrated by a particularly high on/off ratio of the current (250 at applied electrical displacement as low as 80 mV/nm), which makes these devices promising for future semiconductor electronics. FLG samples with reduced disorder allow us to observe quantum Hall effect (QHE) at magnetic field as low as 500 mT. We present the first study of electric field- induced new QH states in ABC trilayer graphene (TLG). The transitions between spin-polarized and valley polarized phases of the sample at the charge neutrality point are investigated. Resolved novel broken symmetry states along with observed Lifshitz transition in rhombohedral TLG display exciting phenomena attributed to rich physics in these interactive electronic systems.

Carbon is the most versatile element in the periodic table, owing to the type, strength and number of bonds it can form with many different elements. The diversity of bonds and their corresponding geometries enable the existence of structural isomers, geometric isomers and enantiomers. Carbon nanostructures have attracted a great deal of interest due to the discovery of fullerenes. Widely recognized as the quintessential nanomaterial, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have already compiled an impressive list of superlatives since their discovery in 1991 by Sumio Iijima. The present study involves hydrothermal synthesis of Si-MCM-41, Cr-MCM-41, Fe-MCM-41, Zn-MCM-41 and Zn-Fe-MCM-41 molecular sieves with Si/M ratios of 50, 75, 100 and 125, where M = Cr, Fe, Zn and Zn-Fe. The transition metals such as Fe, Co, Mn, Ni, Ti, Ru and Pd were loaded with 0.2 wt. % individually over Cr-MCM-41 by wet impregnation method. The growth of SWCNTs or MWCNTs was carried out using the above synthesized catalytic materials by CVD method using acetylene as carbon precursor. In general, neat epoxy resins pose some major disadvantages such as low peel, low impact and tensile strength at elevated temperatures and also low chemical resistance. The thermo-mechanical properties of the neat epoxy resin have been improved by the addition of MWCNTs or f-MWCNTs. The fabricated epoxy resins with MWCNTs and f-MWCNTs were compared with one another to study the dispersion behaviour. The experimental research work reveals that the above said metal containing mesoporous MCM-41 and KIT-6 materials can be a convenient eco-friendly alternative to all other catalyst for the formation of SWCNTs and MWCNTs with high quality and large quantity. Especially, metal containing mesoporous KIT-6 materials were suitable candidate for the large scale production of well graphitized MWCNTs. Fabricated nanocomposites by using MWCNTs/f-MWCNTs exhibited good thermo-mechanical properties which might be a good opening for new avenues to various industrial applications. newline

▼ On April 20th 2010, the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history happened in the Gulf of Mexico. It is estimated total more than 4 million barrels oil spilled to Gulf of Mexico. More than two million gallons had been used. This had made the threat to coastal and sea ecosystem even greater and long term. Real-time monitoring is also a critical topic for oil spill response. In-situ monitoring devices are needed for rapid collection of real-time data. A new generation of instruments for spilled oil detection is reported in this paper. The main hypothesis in this research is that the sensitivity of the new instrument based on a micro-fluidic-optic chip can be higher than its conventional sized counterparts. The adoption of the micro-fluidic-optic chip helped to miniaturize the sample extraction unit and also to integrate the optical detection on the same chip substrate. Only the monitoring and displaying unit and the power supply were external to the micro-fluidic-optic chip. In this way, the micro-fluidic-optic chip is replaceable and can be disposable. This also helps to eliminate the need for cleaning the fluidic components, which may be very difficult in micro-scales because of surface tension and flow resistances. Liquid-Liquid extraction unit for sample pre-concentration and micro-optic components for fluorescence detection are the key microfluidic components and have been designed and fabricated on a single disposable chip. In the Liquid-Liquid extraction system, different designs are compared and electromagnetically actuated micro-valves and peristaltic pumps have been designed and fabricated to control the aqueous sample fluid and the organic phase solution. In the micro-optic detection system, different designs are compared and an out-of-plane lens was designed, fabricated, and integrated to enhance the measurement sensitivity. The experimental results of the integrated system have proved that the liquid-liquid extraction functioned very well and the overall measurement sensitivity of the system has been increased more than six hundred percent. An overall oil detection sensitivity blow 1ppm has been achieved. The research work presented in this dissertation has proved the feasibility of this novel oil detection instrument based on micro-fluidic-optic chip. This detection system may also be used for detection of other samples that can be measured based on fluoresce principles.

▼ The investigation into the encapsulation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was undertaken. This was performed by three polymerisation techniques including: grafting PMMA synthesised by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerisation to AuNPs, grafting PMMA synthesised by atom transfer radical polymerisation (ATRP) from the surface of functionalised AuNPs and by encapsulation of AuNPs within PMMA latexes produced through photo-initiated oil-in-water (o/w) miniemulsion polymerisation. The grafting of RAFT PMMA to AuNPs was performed by the addition of the RAFT functionalised PMMA to citrate stabilised AuNPs. This was conducted with a range of PMMA of varying molecular weight distribution (MWD) as either the dithioester or thiol end-group functionalities. The RAFT PMMA polymers were characterised by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR), Fourier transform Raman (FT-Raman) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopies. The attachment of PMMA to AuNPs showed a tendency for AuNPs to associate with the PMMA structures formed, though significant aggregation occurred. Interestingly, thiol functionalised end-group PMMA showed very little aggregation of AuNPs. The spherical polymer-AuNP structures did not vary in size with variations in PMMA MWD. The PMMA-AuNP structures were characterised using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transition electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) and UV-vis spectroscopy. The surface confined ATRP grafting of PMMA from initiator functionalised AuNPs was polymerised in both homogeneous and heterogeneous media. 11,11’- dithiobis[1-(2-bromo-2-methylpropionyloxy)undecane] (DSBr) was used as the surface-confined initiator and was synthesised in a three step procedure from mercaptoundecanol (MUD). All compounds were characterised by 1H NMR, FTIR-ATR and Raman spectroscopies. The grafting in homogeneous media resulted in amorphous PMMA with significant AuNP aggregation. Individually grafted AuNPs were difficult to separate and characterise, though SEM, TEM, EDAX and UV-vis spectroscopy was used. The heterogeneous polymerisation did not produce grafted AuNPs as characterised by SEM and EDAX. The encapsulation of AuNPs within PMMA latexes through the process of photoinitiated miniemulsion polymerisation was successfully achieved. Initially, photoinitiated miniemulsion polymerisation was conducted as a viable low temperature method of miniemulsion initiation. This proved successful producing a stable PMMA with good conversion efficiency and narrow particle size distribution (PSD). This is the first report of such a system. The photo-initiated technique was further optimised and AuNPs were included into the miniemulsion. AuNP encapsulation was very effective, producing reproducible AuNP encapsulated PMMA latexes. Again, this is the first reported case of this. The latexes were characterised by TEM, SEM, GPC,…

▼ The use of optical interconnects is a promising solution to the increasing demand for high speed mass data transmission used in integrated circuits as well as device to device data transfer applications. For the purpose, low cost polymer waveguides are a popular choice for routing signal between devices due to their compatibility with printed circuit boards. In optical interconnect, coupling from an external light source to such waveguides is a critical step, thus a variety of couplers have been investigated such as grating based couplers [1,2], evanescent couplers [3], and embedded mirrors [4–6]. These couplers are inherently micro-optical components which require fast and scalable fabrication for mass production with optical quality surfaces/structures. Low NA laser direct writing has been used for fast fabrication of structures such as gratings and Fresnel lenses using a linear laser direct writing scheme, though the length scale of such structures are an order of magnitude larger than the spot size of the focused laser of the tool. Nonlinear writing techniques such as with 2-photon absorption offer increased write resolution which makes it possible to fabricate sub-wavelength structures as well as having a flexibility in feature shape. However it does not allow a high speed fabrication and in general are not scalable due to limitations of speed and area induced by the tool’s high NA optics. To overcome such limitations primarily imposed by NA, we propose a new micro-optic fabrication process which extends the capabilities of 1D, low NA, and thus fast and scalable, laser direct writing to fabricate a structure having a length scale close to the tool's spot size, for example, a mirror based and 45 degree optical coupler with optical surface quality. The newly developed process allows a high speed fabrication with a write speed of 2600 mm²/min by incorporating a mask based lithography method providing a blank structure which is critical to creating a 45 degree slope to form the coupler surface. In this method, instead of using an entire exposure in a pixelated manner, only a portion of the Gaussian profile is used, allowing a reduced surface roughness and better control of the surface shape than previously possible with this low NA beam. The surface figure of the mirror is well controlled below 0.04 waves in root-mean-square (RMS) at 1.55 μm wavelength, with mirror angle of 45±1 degrees. The coupling efficiency is evaluated using a set of polymer waveguides fabricated on the same substrate as the complete proof of concept device. Device insertion loss was measured using a custom built optical test station and a detailed loss analysis was completed to characterize the optical coupling efficiency of the mirror. Surface roughness and angle were also experimentally confirmed. This process opens up a pathway towards large volume fabrication of free-form and high aspect ratio optical components which have not yet pursued, along with well-defined optical structures on a single substrate.

▼ Precision freeform optics are finding increased usage in new optical systems. Deflectometry is a non-null optical metrology method that has great application potential to be a measurement method for freeform and standard optics, offering a wide slope dynamic range and excellent accuracy and precision. The technique utilizes a known source which emits rays of light that are deflected by the unit under test (UUT) and are captured by a recording camera. By knowing the precise location of the source, the ray intercepts at the UUT, and the camera, the local surface slopes of the UUT can be determined and integrated to obtain a reconstructed surface. This study investigates three major topics to improve deflectometry and identify new Deflectometric based techniques. The first topic explored is a software-based method for an iterative surface reconstruction process. Deflectometry relies on determining the local surface slopes of the UUT by precisely knowing the ray intercept locations at the surface. Any error in the assumed surface model therefore directly reduces the reconstructed surface accuracy. A new processing method was developed called model-free deflectometry, which requires no optical surface model, and instead iteratively reconstructs the optical surface leading to improved final reconstruction accuracy. The method was used to reduce departure of a freeform optic from interferometric results from 15.80 𝜇m root-mean-square (RMS) using model-based deflectometry down to 5.20 𝜇m RMS with the model-free method developed. Further, most of the 5.20 𝜇m RMS residual departure was explained using a simulation to model the inherent noise present from hardware limitations. The second topic is a deflectometry system configuration which generates a virtual 2π steradian measurement volume, enabling full aperture deflectometry measurements of previously unmeasurable flat and convex freeform optics. The technique utilizes a source tilted over the UUT, enabling at least a partial aperture test. However, by clocking the UUT, a series of virtual sources are generated, which when considered as a whole, create a virtual source enclosure around the UUT allowing for a full aperture test. The method was shown to have accuracy similar to an interferometric test for a fast F/1.26 convex sphere and successfully tested a highly freeform Alvarez lens. Lastly, a power scalable, time-modulated high stability infrared source is explored for infrared deflectometry. The new source is an integrating box design with a precision emission area machine cut into an aluminum box. The light sources are modular high-efficiency resistive alloy membranes held in small caps. The design allows for power scaling by adding or removing caps from the source design. The caps are powered in parallel and are modulated at approximately 1 Hz to allow for signal isolation, thereby greatly improving signal to noise ratio. The new source was compared with a traditional tungsten source, both run at the same power output, and the source stability and geometry compared.… Advisors/Committee Members: Kim, Dae Wook (advisor), Smith, Gregory (committeemember), Schwiegerling, James (committeemember), Koshel, R.

▼ Amorphous oxide semiconductor (AOS) thin-film transistors (TFTs) have great potential for use in the next-generation of electronics. AOS TFTs can be used to fabricate circuits and sensors on various substrates, due to unique properties, including high mobility, excellent uniformity, and it requiring a low-temperature process. Currently, indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) is the predominant AOS used in the display industry as a TFT semiconductor. Although the IGZO technology is very mature, the development of AOS continues. Additional AOSs are being investigated to reduce cost and improve stability. Considering availability and the potential of materials, indium silicon oxide (ISO) was selected for this project. ISO uses silicon to suppress the instability originating from the oxygen vacancy. The silicon-oxygen bond has a higher dissociation energy, which improves retention of oxygen atoms in the film, and thus, increases the transistor's stability. This detailed study follows a bottom-up approach. It starts with the fabrication and characterisation of materials. Basic material properties of the ISO film are discussed within, including amorphicity, bandgap, stoichiometry, and Hall-effect parameters. Based on the characterisation results, different deposition recipes for the TFT were developed and tested. The interface quality and etching selectivity were investigated. Uniformity and stability data were extracted from a TFT array using the developed photo-lithography process, which was used to verify and quantitate the capability of the process in system integration and circuit design. A Monte-Carlo simulation environment was established based on the extracted data. The two urgent challenges in all-TFT analogue circuit design, the lack of proper active load and the large parasitic capacitance, were investigated. In-depth analysis on these two issues and applicable solutions were presented. Investigation on system integration of TFT circuits and sensors were conducted, since the device demonstrated the required performance and uniformity. An all-TFT differential-input amplifier was designed and verified, as the first mixed signal all-TFT circuit.
