Thesis M.S. Michigan State University. Electrical Engineering 2012.

This thesis describes the design, implementation and testing of self-powered, large dynamic-range, micro-data-logger that can be used for sensing, computing and non-volatile data storage of mechanical-strain statistics. At the core of the proposed design is a linear floating-gate injector that can achieve more than 13 bits of precision in sensing, signal integration and non-volatile storage. The injectors are self-powered by the piezoelectric transducers that convert mechanical energy from strain-variations into electrical energy. The first fundamental contribution of this thesis is a novel differential injector topology that is used to measure static-strain by integrating the difference between the L1 measure of the piezoelectric signal generated during the positive and negative strain-cycles. The second fundamental contribution of this thesis is a novel compressive self-powering technique that overcomes the input threshold effect of most self-powered sensors. By using a non-linear impedance circuit at the output of the piezoelectric transducer and by using programmable level-crossing circuit and offset cancellation circuits, the thesis demonstrates an extended self-powering range greater than 40dB. A system-on-chip solution has been designed that integrates the linear floating-gate injectors with high-voltage charge-pumps, digital calibration and digital programming circuits. Extensive experiments with the system-on-chip prototypes fabricated in a 0.5μm standard CMOS process and piezoelectric material (PZT) have been performed using a bench-top mechanical test setup. An automated programming and calibration of the sensor has been developed comprising of an FPGA and MATLAB interface and the results have been calibrated against standard strain-gauge measurements. This evaluation and test platform is useful for long-term, automated reliability testing of the self-powered piezo-floating-gate sensors as demonstrated in the results presented in this work.

▼ The concept of reducing laboratory operations in scale such that they fit on a microfluidic chip has been met with great enthusiasm. Lab-on-a-chip devices promise to be cost effective to operate due to reduced reagent consumption, have the potential to offer shorter analysis times due to their short path lengths, and may be useful in biological applications in that they are inherently compact and inexpensive to build, thus they may be disposable. In this work, a series of fabrication techniques for the production of polymer-based microfluidic devices are explored. In the first component of this research effort an aluminum mold was fabricated using CNC machining to create the desired microchannel design, followed by a two-stage embossing process, involving two polymer substrates with different glass transition temperatures (Tg), polyetherimide (PEI; Tg~216 °C) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA; Tg~105 °C). Successful feature transfer from aluminum mold to PMMA substrates was achieved reproducibly employing this method. With this approach, the expensive process of producing the aluminum master need be performed only once. Electrophoretic separations of fluorescent dyes, rhodamine B and fluorescein were performed on the PMMA microchips, with peak efficiencies of 55500 and 66300 theoretical plates/meter, respectively. The next stage of work explored a new bonding method by solvent welding using ice as sacrificial layer to prevent channel deformation. Water is one of the most compatible sacrificial media; it is readily available, non toxic, has a low evaporation rate, a high freezing point relative to the bonding solvent, and a low melting point which makes it easier to flush out after sealing, as compared to using other sacrificial media (paraffin wax or low-melting temperature alloys). The bonded PMMA microchips could withstand an internal pressure of > 2000 psi, more than 17 times stronger than the thermally bonded chips. In the final stage of work a new bonding technique was developed that readily produces complete microfluidic chips, without the need of a sacrificial layer to form complete multilayer microfluidic devices. Also developed was the use of an SU-8 master in the two-stage embossing process to create microchannels. This approach is faster, simpler and less costly than CNC machining. The fabrication technique was utilized to build a microfluidic liquid chromatography (LC) system that was shown to generate high separation efficiencies of 10,000- 45,000 plates/m. In addition, a passive micromixer containing high-density microfeatures was fabricated to perform a glycine assay using O-phthaldialdehyde. With glycine concentrations ranging from 0.0 to 2.6 μM, a linear calibration plot (R2 = 0.9982) was obtained with a detection limit of 0.032 μM.

▼ The overall concept of reducing laboratory operations to a scale that fits on a single microfluidic chip has been an attractive area of research over the last several decades. Despite a surge in research, few commercial success stories have been written. Lab-on-a-chip technologies have the capability to be cost effective due to reduced reagent consumption, offer shorter analysis times due to their small scale, i.e. path lengths, and have the ability to work with decreased sample sizes. Due to these benefits, microfluidic devices show great promise as point-of-care devices for the analysis of biologically relevant analytes as they are inherently compact, have the potential to be produced at low-cost, and can be manufactured out of materials that allow for single-use followed by responsible disposal. In this work, a series of new fabrication techniques for low-cost microfluidic platforms in both capillary-driven (wicking) and pressure-driven platforms as well as their potential applications in low-cost clinical chemistry analysis are explored. In the first component of this research effort a new method of fabricating microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (µPADs) using aerosolized deposition of polycaprolactone (PCL) was developed. PCL is a biodegradable, semicrystalline polyester with excellent thermal properties including a glass transition temperature (T[subscript g]) of -60 ˚C and a melting point of 60 ˚C. Hydrophilic substrates were masked with low-adhesive painter’s tape and PCL was applied using an airbrush to create capillary-driven microfluidic devices. With this approach, the traditional fabrication processes used for manufacturing µPADs have been simplified allowing rapid, low-cost fabrication of µPADs with hydrophilic features as small as 480 µm, and hydrophobic barriers as small as 260 µm. Point-of-care applications involving enzymatic determination of glucose and chemical determination of protein concentration were successfully demonstrated. The second portion of this research involved the development of a smartphone (iOS) application for conducting colorimetric analysis of µPADs. The application, OccuChrome, was created as a capstone project with the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Oregon State University. OccuChrome was designed to allow all aspects of colorimetric analysis including model development, calibration curve development, unknown analysis, and results sharing on a single platform. Results obtained from OccuChrome compared favorably with those obtained using traditional colorimetric image analysis via ImageJ. The next stage of work explored the application of PCL saturated paper as a low-cost material for the fabrication of open channel microfluidic devices in both pressure-driven and capillary-driven formats. The favorable thermal properties of PCL, namely the low T[subscript g] and low T[subscript m] allow for easy fabrication using a simple method of cut and stack lamination to assemble both 2D and 3D microfluidic devices.

▼ Microfluidic devices hold much promise for small liquid volumes control due to their ability to manipulate small liquid volume from micorlitre to picolitre and easily parallelize and integrate with other analysis devices which can offer a number of practical applications in biotechnology, chemical synthesis and analytical chemistry. In this thesis, we started from using valve controlled microfluidic devices to control small liquid volume for temporal and spatial gradients generation and picoliter droplets delivery which can be applied in biological study and environmental toxicology. Using our valve controlled microfluidics, concentration oscillations and gradients were demonstrated to be controlled and predictable which would benefit researcher in probing cell physiology study in dynamically changing environment. Meanwhile, picoliter droplets delivery was achieved in an inexpensive and compact way. The method can be facile for operation and integration with other complicated devices. New microfluidic systems for small liquid volume analysis were developed in the second part. We fabricated a capillary array microfluidics(CAE) coupled with microwell array to perform high-throughput electrophoresis in multiple capillaries simultaneously in terms of taking advantages of both microwell array technique and CAE. We also developed a membrane sandwiched microfluidic device for continuously access to droplets contents which could broaden the applications of microfluidic droplets. In the last part, microfibers and microparticles were generated by manipulating liquid with mcirofluidic device. Convenient microfluidic strategies with a simple and minimal-requirement design were described for generation of uniformly-sized alginate gel fibers, droplets and mirobeads. Various functional materials (colloidal particles, bacteria and nanoparticles) have been encapsulated into the gel fibers. We believe that this technique will find applications in biomedical therapeutics, tissue engineering and microfluidics. In addition, Janus particles and microbeads array were formed in a convenient and facial way. Those kinds of particles can be utilized in various applications, such as electronic display and diagnosis.

▼ In this thesis, a systematic study has been carried out on the synthesis, characterization and device fabrication of piezoelectric ZnO nanstructures. The achieved results are composed of the following four parts. Firstly, through a systematic investigation on the Sn-catalyzed ZnO nanostructure, an improved understanding of the chemical and physical process occurring during the growth of hierarchical nanostructures has been achieved. Decomposed Sn from SnO2 has been successfully demonstrated and proved to be an effective catalyst guiding the growth of not only aligned ZnO nanowires, but also the hierarchical nanowire-nanoribbon junction arrays and nanopropeller arrays. During the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) catalyzing growth process at high temperature, Sn in the liquid state has been proved to be able to guide the growth of nanowires and nanoribbons in terms of growth directions, side facets, and crystallographic interfaces between Sn and ZnO nanostructures. Secondly, using pure ZnO as the only source material, by precisely tuning and controlling the growth kinetics, a variety of hierarchical polar surface dominated nanostructures have been achieved, such as single crystal nanorings, nanobows, nanosprings and superlattice nanohelices. High yield synthesis of ZnO nanosprings over 50% has been successfully obtained by mainly controlling the pre-pumping level associated with the partial pressure of residual oxygen during the vapor-solid growth process. The rigid superlattice nanohelices of ZnO have been discovered, which is a result of minimization of the electrostatic energy induced by polar surfaces. The formation process of the nanohelix has been systematically characterized. Thirdly, two new strategies have been successfully developed for fabricating ZnO quantum dots and synthesis of ZnO nanodiskettes and nanotubes. The formation process is based on a common concept of self-assembly. Finally, a series of devices and applications studies based on several piezoelectric ZnO nanostructures, such as nanobelts, nanopropellers and nanohelices, have been carried out utilizing the electro-mechanical resonance, bio-surface functionalization, devices fabrication and electrical characterization. Individual nanobelt and nanohelix based nanodevices have been successfully fabricated for applications in chemical and biological sensing. The study opens a few new areas in oxide nanostructures and applications. Advisors/Committee Members: Zhong L. Wang (Committee Chair), C.J. Summers (Committee Member), C.P.

▼ Epoxy composite laminated piezoelectric stress-enhanced actuators (ECLIPSE) have been developed for potential applications by the United States Air Force and others. This class of actuators offers several advantages over other unimorph actuators such as lighter weight, design flexibility, and short production time. Anisotropic differential thermal expansion is utilized in the design of the actuators to achieve large out-of-plane curvature and place the brittle piezoelectric ceramic in residual compression. The numerous composite material choices and configurations can be used to control characteristics of the actuator such as radius of curvature and force output. ECLIPSE actuators were characterized during this study. They were made from layers of Kevlar 49/epoxy composite and a lead zirconate titanate ceramic (PZT) plate. All ECLIPSE actuators tested were built with a PZT plate with the same dimensions and material, but had different layup configurations. By changing the stacking order of the composite and PZT material, characteristics of the actuator were altered. The performance of each ECLIPSE actuator was compared. The maximum achievable displacement of each actuator was measured by cyclically applying an electric field at low frequency between zero and the maximum electric field allowable for the piezoelectric material. The frequency was also increased to a resonance condition to characterize the fatigue behavior of these actuators. In addition, the force output of various actuators was measured with a four-point bending apparatus. The experimental data was compared to a classical lamination theory model and an extended classical lamination theory model. These models were used to predict actuator behavior as well as to calculate the stress and strain distribution through the thickness of the actuator. Advisors/Committee Members: Christopher S. Lynch (Committee Chair), Kenneth A. Cunefare (Committee Member), W. Steven Johnson (Committee Member).

▼ Nowadays, the interest in an emerging field - Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) - has been increased swiftly. In fact, it has been predicted that the MEMS will be a core manufacturing technology in the near future and fundamentally change the way human and machines interact with the physical world. Among these MEMS devices, the micro-gyroscope has been received much attention due to its wide range of applications such as in missile control in the military sector, global positioning systems, crash sensors in the automotive industry and stabilization systems used in video cameras. In this thesis, the design, analysis and materials preparation of a micro-gyroscope using pizeoelectric material as the sensing element is presented. In the materials selection part of this thesis, the results of study of various piezoelectric materials are pursuited. As a result of this work, Aluminum Nitride (AlN), Zinc Oxide (ZnO) and Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) were chosen for further study due to their ease of fabrication and piezoelectric response. In the next part of this thesis, the principle of the micro-gyroscope is presented and its output voltage response is derived, calculated, and compared among the three piezoelectric materials. The calculated results show that PZT gives the largest output voltage response and hence efforts are placed on PZT in both physical modeling and materials preparation. The physical modeling of the micro-gyroscope is investigated by measuring the output voltage characteristics of the PZT crystal and the results found are in agreement with the theoretical predictions. Moreover, the layout design with different structures are drawn to test for different approaches for the proposed micro-gyroscope. Finally, procedures and techniques of using sol-gel method are presented, from which crack-free PZT with perovskite structure can be obtained on both ITO Corning glass and silicon substrate. Therefore, the flexibility of using PZT for fabrication of the micro-gyroscope can be visualized.

▼

Faster circuits require not only research in next generation devices but careful consideration of signal interconnects. As the frequency component of a signal increases, the wavelength decreases allowing subtle interconnect discontinuities to begin attributing to degradation through reflection, attenuation and dispersion. Furthermore, certain interconnect structures are inherently poor at handling signals at higher frequencies. Many charge carrier dynamics within devices can occur on less than picosecond time scales. Observing signals from test setups that measure these dynamics require bandwidths reaching the terahertz frequency domain. Interconnects can alter the observed characteristics of these devices, characterization of the device and interconnect is vital in understanding their use in integrated circuits.GaAs/AlGaAs core/shell nanowire based devices are one type of next generation electronics that show promise for use in a high frequency regime. To observe and understand this behavior, THz interconnects are necessary. These nanowires have potential as high-speed optical devices in applications such as optical interconnects and photonic detectors. A deeper understanding of the nanowire device physics is needed for further study of high-speed optical applications. To achieve this, the majority of the work in this thesis deals with designing and fabricating transmission lines that support signals from tens to hundreds of gigahertz. The transmission lines can therefore support signals related to the carrier dynamics of the nanowires.Several different techniques exist for measuring the carrier dynamics that occur in the picosecond time-frame. Electro-optic sampling and THz spectroscopy are discussed and existing work is used as a foundation for the design of the required transmission line/nanowire system needed for high-speed interrogation. The creation of this system faces many obstacles in the fabrication process some of which have been overcome in this thesis and others which require further study devoted solely to fabrication techniques. In general, the difficulties are in fabricating interconnects that interface a nanoscale device such as nanowires to the macroscopic world while maintaining minimal degradation of the propagating characterizing signal. As a preliminary study for future high-speed work, a network analyzer is used to characterize the transmission line and nanowire. The hope is to design a transmission line that has little negative effect on the signals it propagates and to witness nanowire dependencies in the network analyzer data.The design of this system is verified using calculation, simulation and measurements. Results from measuring these test structures show promise for further study using higher speed and finer resolution techniques. A better understanding of the carrier dynamics of these devices and potentially others will aid in the attempt to uncover the physics behind recently discovered behaviors.

▼ This thesis investigates two methods of optical excitation of alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) devices. The two experimental methods investigated in this thesis are the photo-induced charge (PIQ) and luminescence (PIL), and the subthreshold-voltage induced transferred charge (VIQ) techniques. PIQ/PIL experiments utilize an above-bandgap laser pulse to investigate the transport properties of photo-injected electrons and holes within the phosphor layer of the ACTFEL device. VIQ experiments use a broadband xenon lamp pulse to optically reset traps which are ionized by subthreshold bipolar voltage pulses. Both experiments characterize traps within the phosphor layer. PIQ/PIL experiments are performed on evaporated ZnS:Mn ACTFEL devices possessing phosphor layers with thicknesses of 950, 700, and 300 nm. From the PIQ/PIL experiment, an impact excitation threshold electric field for evaporated ZnS:Mn is found to be ~1 MV/cm. Evidence of hole-trapping is also obtained from the PIQ experiment. The holes in evaporated ZnS:Mn ACTFEL devices are found to possess a drift length of ~180 ± 70 nm, a hole lifetime of ~2 ps, and a capture cross-section of ~7 x 10⁻¹³ cm². It is speculated that the trap responsible for hole capture is a zinc vacancy or zinc vacancy complex. VIQ experiments are performed on evaporated, atomic layer epitaxy [ALE] (Cl), and ALE (DEZ) ZnS:Mn ACTFEL devices. Data obtained via VIQ experiments yield evidence for the generation of space charge below the EL conduction threshold, as well as providing a means of estimating the physical location, energy depth, density, and capture cross-section of traps responsible for VIQ. The depth of the traps responsible for VIQ in evaporated, ALE (C1), and ALE (DEZ) ZnS:Mn are estimated to be ~1.1, ~0.3, and ~0.8 eV, respectively. It is speculated that the traps responsible for VIQ are due to sulfur vacancies, chlorine, and oxygen, for evaporated, ALE (Cl), and ALE (DEZ), respectively.

▼ Autonomous sorting systems are applied to pure and heterogeneous types of metallic materials for recycling purposes with goals of efficiency in mind. The purpose of this work was design and build an adjustable, automated, conveyor included sorting system, and validate and evaluate its function and performance for sorting copper and aluminum pieces in experiments. An overview of sorting methods in recycling, mining and other industries are provided to examine the choices made in the design this system. Fabrication steps were taken with facility factors in mind to build and mount the individual components of the system. Challenges faced in the fabrication and operations of the system are also considered. Individual components including compressed air, IR detection, and computer controls are integrated together into the final system. Demonstrations of the system components is done for each component separately, and then merged to form the finalized system. The design features the use of IR sensors to identify a variety of non-uniform copper and aluminum pieces quickly, an array of relays to open manifold outlets automatically, twenty solenoid valves with compressed air actuation for timely control of air flow, and a computer-based data acquisition system for real-time sensing and control under MATLAB-Simulink real-time software environment. Safety features are added to the system so that accidents can be prevented while utilizing the industrial components. This setup is built successfully and met the design expectation. Experimental implementation to sort the copper and aluminum particles (each ranging from 0.5in to 1in wide) shows that the system is very useful at detecting and shooting materials at speeds from 15-45cm/s. This setup provides the capability to implement the same methods industry uses and has the flexibility for prototyping future applications. The experimental results show non-ferrous metal pieces can be successfully identified and sorted.

▼

The synthesis and rendering of haptic textures is extremely sensitive to the characteristics of the haptic devices employed to deliver the force stimulation, and the simplifications introduced in the synthesis algorithms bear significant consequences for the final quality of the haptic experience. When the limits of the device are exceeded or when the algorithm is poorly calibrated, a number of artifacts can corrupt the haptic interaction. In this thesis, the problem of generating artifact-free textures is tackled from three different sides. First, a novel framework of six conditions is introduced. These conditions can identify the sources of rendering artifacts related to the hardware properties of the haptic device, and specify the range of textures that can be reliably generated by each haptic device. The second component of the thesis is a complete analysis of currently available haptic texture algorithms carried out with a tool called characteristic number. […]

La synthèse et le rendu de textures haptiques sont extrêmement sensibles aux caractéristiques des dispositifs haptiques employés pour produire une stimulation par retour d'effort. Les simplifications introduites par les algorithmes de synthèse ont des conséquences significatives sur la qualité finale de l'expérience haptique. Quand les limites du dispositif sont dépassées ou quand un algorithme est mal calibre, un certain nombre d'artefacts peuvent corrompre l'interaction haptique. Dans cette thèse, le problème de la génération de textures sans d 'artefacts est attaque sur trois fronts. Tout d'abord, un ensemble de six conditions est introduit. Ces conditions permettent d'identifier les sources d'artefacts reliées aux propriétés matérielles de l'appareil haptique et spécifier la gamme des textures qui peuvent être générées de façon fiable pour un dispositif haptique donne. La seconde composante de cette thèse est une analyse complète des principaux algorithmes de textures haptiques disponibles aujourd'hui qui est effectuée a l'aide d'un outil appelé le nombre caractéristique.

▼ Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (µPADs) have been developed using several patterning technologies to reproducibly create inexpensive lab-on-chip type analytical tools. Consequently, these devices are useful for field deployable measurements in the areas of healthcare diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and forensic analysis. These devices are portable, cost effective and easily reproducible. One of the significant characteristics of µPADs is that they are extremely versatile. Thus, they can be modified to any application, particularly in low resourceful settings. The goal of this project was to create novel microfluidic paper-based analytical devices µPADs that were able to detect and quantify the presence of calcium and magnesium ions in water samples using a simple complexometric titration. The work involved in this project can be divided into two parts. The first part was spent on optimizing parameters that are needed to produce µPAD consistently and repeatedly using wax printing method. The parameters studied are the melting temperature, the melting time and their effect on the barrier width and the channel width. Based on the results that were obtained, µPADs were designed with ten reservoirs in the middle of channels and ten reservoirs at the end of the channels. The detection of the calcium and magnesium was performed on the µPADs using typical complexometric titrations. Two separate titration reactions were carried out on µPADs that were prepared separately. The first step was to determine the total water hardness which is the total concentration of magnesium and calcium ions in water. The pH of the µPADs for this analysis was maintained at pH 10 using CAPS buffer. The ten reaction reservoirs contained various amounts of EDTA, whereas a constant amount of EBT was added to all detection reservoirs. When the amount of total calcium and magnesium ions exceeded that of the EDTA in the reaction reservoirs, free metal ions penetrated the detection reservoirs resulting a color reaction from EBT. Therefore, the first detection reservoir with no color change determined the total concentration of calcium and magnesium ions which is equal to total hardness. Next step was to determine the individual calcium ion concentration at pH 13. The pH on the µPADs was achieved using 10 M KOH. Here the ten reaction reservoirs contained various amounts of EDTA while the detection zone contained a constant amount of calcon as the metal indicator. When a water sample containing calcium and magnesium ions are added to the sample zone, magnesium ions get precipitated as a solid while free calcium ions get penetrated to the reaction and detection zones. Here, the calcium concentration is determined based on the concentration of the first reaction zone with no color change. The effects of other metal ions that might be present in the water on the µPADs were also studied. It was found that the presence of Cu2+, Ni2+, Al3+, Mn2+ and Fe3+ ions could interfere with the results. The µPADs determined the concentration of metal…
