Abstract:

The main objective of this research is to fabricate and characterize an optically integrated interferometric sensor on standard silicon and silicon CMOS circuitry. An optical sensor system of this nature would provide the high sensitivity and immunity to electromagnetic interference found in interferometric based sensors in a lightweight, compact package capable of being deployed in a multitude of situations inappropriate for standard sensor configurations. There are several challenges involved in implementing this system. These include the development of a suitable optical emitter for the sen

Abstract:

The subject of this thesis is the analysis of instrumental effects caused by the interaction between collected signal charge and electric fields within precision CCD imaging sensors typically used for astronomy. These phenomena cause aberrations in the measured spatial distribution of subsequently collected signal, which may present a major error for upcoming astronomy projects which rely heavily on accurately determining shapes of compact sources. Examples are the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope and t he Euclid space telescope. The size of dynamic collection effects may be subtly affected by

Abstract:

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN has the highest energy and luminosity in the world. Radiation hardness is then a critical requirement for the inner tracker design. The inner tracker is important for identifying heavy quarks using high spatial precision detectors. Silicon detectors are now the primary technology for this application. 3D silicon sensors use a novel technology with penetrating electrodes and have excellent radiation hardness by design. It overcomes the signal loss with a low operation voltage by reducing the collection length compared to the current planar technology used

Abstract:

Random Telegraph Signal (RTS) noise is a random noise source defined by discrete and metastable changes in the magnitude of a signal. Though observed in a variety of physical processes, RTS is of particular interest to image sensor fabrication where progress in the suppression of other noise sources has elevated its noise contribution to the point of approaching the limiting noise source in scientific applications. There have been two basic physical sources of RTS noise reported in image sensors. The first involves a charge trap in the oxide layer of the source follower in a CMOS image sensor.

The first approach is based on designing a microresonator with high Q-factor in air and in liquid, thus, improving its frequency resolution.
