1. The Buried Oxide of Silicon on Insulator Materials
Abstract : The buried oxide of silicon on insulator (SOI) wafers plays an important role in the operation of electronic devices made on such materials. The presence of defects in the buried oxide can seriously degrade the performance of a circuit. READ MORE

2. Surface Reactivity and Electronic Structure of Metal Oxides
Abstract : The foci of this thesis are the metal oxides Cu2O, ZnO and Fe3O4 and their interaction with water and sulfur dioxide (SO2). The intention is to study SO2-induced atmospheric corrosion on a molecular level. All studies are based on photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements.

3. Electrical Characterization of Metal-Oxide-Silicon Structures with Ultra Thin Oxide Layers
Abstract : Metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structures with very thin (2 - 4 nm) oxide layers thermally grown on silicon have been electrically characterized regarding oxide and interface defects and concerning the direct tunnel current through the oxide. This thesis comprises eight papers which deal with the appearance of oxide charge during electrical stress (papers A, D, E), the beneficial effect on the defect density of low-temperature (up to 350 °C) post-metallization annealing (PMA) (paper A, B, C, G), and the effect of temperature and choice of metal for the tunnel current (paper F, H).

4. Ultrathin Oxides in Metal-Oxide-Silicon Structures: Defects and Characterization
Abstract : The properties of metal-oxide-silicon (MOS) structures with ultrathin oxide layers (15-30 Å) have been investigated by means of electrical characterization. The characterization methods used were mainly capacitance voltage (C-V), current voltage (I-V) and constant voltage stress (I-t) measurements. READ MORE

5. The effect of microstructural features, defects and surface quality on the fatigue performance in Al-Si-Mg Cast alloys
Abstract : Global warming is driving industry to manufacture lighter components to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Promising candidates for achieving this are aluminium-silicon (Al-Si) cast alloys, which offer a high weight-to-strength ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and good castability. READ MORE
