1. Silicon device substrate and channel characteristics influenced by interface properties
Abstract : This thesis is divided in two parts, one dealing with the depleted Si/Si structure, which is a substrate behaving as a semi-insulating material intended for radio-frequency applications and the other concerning high-k gate dielectrics (dielectrics with high dielectric constant) as the replacement for silicon dioxide as MOS gate dielectric.High frequency applications of CMOS integrated circuits, to lower cost, achieve higher performance and richer functionality, depends partly on the possibility to decrease the substrate coupling between different parts of the circuit.

2. Wafer Bonding - Problems and Possibilities
Abstract : The wafer bonding technology offers a unique opportunity to combine different materials. This has been used for the realisation of novel silicon on insulator (SOI) structures. By replacing the buried silicon dioxide layer with a polycrystalline diamond film the thermal properties of the SOI structure are improved. READ MORE

3. New Methods in the growth of InP on Si and Regrowth of Semi-insulating InP for Photonic Devices
Abstract : This thesis addresses new methods in the growth of indium phosphide on silicon for enabling silicon photonics and nano photonics as well as efficient and cost-effective solar cells. It also addresses the renewal of regrowth of semi-insulating indium phosphide for realizing buried heterostructure quantum cascade lasers with high power and wall plug efficiency for sensing applications.

4. Electrical properties of polycrystalline silicon
Abstract : Polysilicon is used, among other materials, in today's integrated circuits. In this thesis, the structural and electrical properties' of polysilicon thin film resistors have been studied. The aim has been to improve the long-term stability and increase the knowledge concerning grain-boundary related phenomena. READ MORE

5. Silicon Carbide Microwave Transistors and Amplifiers
Abstract : Ibis work deals with silicon carbide (SiC) metal semieonduetor field effect transistors (MESFETs) and microwave amplifiers using them. The wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors silicon carbide and gallium nitride have a large potential for microwave power generation. READ MORE
