308 Scarpulla, MichaelBandgap and band offsets determination of semiconductor heterostructures using three-terminal ballistic carrier spectroscopyAmong the most important properties of semiconductors are their bandgaps and how the total bandgap difference distributes between the conduction band offset ΔEC and the valence band offset ΔEV at the heterojunction (HJ) interface between two semiconductors. Understanding such properties is crucial...Bandgaps; Band offsets; Gallium arsenide2009
309 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Bandgap control of GaInP using Sb as a surfactantThe use of surfactants to control specific aspects of the vapor-phase epitaxial growth process is beginning to be studied for both the elemental and III/V semiconductors. To date, most reported surfactant effects for semiconductors relate to the morphology of the growing films. However, semicondu...Band-gap energy; Growth process; Epitaxial growth1999-09-27
310 Stevens, KennethBandwidth optimization in asynchronous NoCs by customizing link wire lengthThe bandwidth requirement for each link on a network-on-chip (NoC) may differ based on topology and traffic properties of the IP cores. Available bandwidth on an asynchronous NoC link will also vary depending on the wire length between sender and receiver. We explore the benefit to NoC performance ...2010

313 Liu, FengBending of nanoscale thin Si film induced by growth of Ge islands: hut vs. domeWe perform atomistic simulations to compute bending of freestanding nanoscale thin Si film induced by strained Ge islands. We show that a larger Ge dome island can induce smaller bending than a smaller hut island and explain the surprising experimental observation for growth of Ge islands on pattern...Bending; Nanoscale thin Si film; Ge islands; Hut islands; Dome islands; Atomistic simulations2004
314 Liu, FengBending of nanoscale ultrathin substrates by growth of strained thin films and islandsMechanical bending is ubiquitous in heteroepitaxial growth of thin films where the strained growing film applies effectively an "external" stress to bend the substrate. Conventionally, when the deposited film is much thinner than the substrate, the bending increases linearly with increasing film th...Nanoscale ultrathin substrates; Strained thin films; Islands; Heteroepitaxial growth; Si substrate; Ge film2005-08
