PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The AD688 is a high precision ±10 V tracking reference. Low tracking error, low initial error and low temperature drift give the AD688 reference absolute ±10 V accuracy performance previously unavailable in monolithic form. The AD688 uses a proprietary ion-implanted buried Zener diode, and laser-waferdrift-trimming of high stability thin-film resistors to provide outstanding...

This paper evaluates the strain-sensing ability of a nanoengineered hierarchical twill weave composite using multiscale numerical simulations. Piezoresistivity is incorporated in such by introducing carbon nanotubes (CNT) polystyrene (PSS) matrix so as to form percolating microstructure. The glass fiber weave, which itself contains CNT-modified PSS inside yarns, coated with thin film piezoresis...

A desired reflectance profile versus frequency (wavenumber) can be directly Fourier transformed into the index of refraction profile as a function of thickness which would produce the desired spectral reflectance profile. This tool has existed for some years now but does not seem to be in common use. This paper lays out some of the principles to aid in making the process more understandable, in...

The focus of this thesis is to analyze cost trends and government incentives in the California PV market during 2007-2008. The data show that pre-rebate system costs increased in California during this time period and that this was driven by a surge in worldwide module cost. Systems employing thin film technology did not exhibit a downward impact on cost, which contradicts historical and techno...

The properties of electronic devices based on carbon nanotube networks (CNTNs) depend on the carbon nanotube (CNT) deposition method used, which can yield a range of network morphologies. Here, we synthesize single-walled CNTs using an aerosol (floating catalyst) chemical vapor deposition process and deposit CNTs at room temperature onto substrates as random networks with various morphologies. ...

The potential to perform at low voltages is a unique feature of carbon nanotube thin-film transistors (CNT-TFTs) when compared to more common TFT material options, such as amorphous Si or organic films. In this work, CNT-TFTs are fabricated using high-purity CNTs (verified electrically to be !99% semiconducting) on an embedded gate device structure, which allows for scaling of the dielectric (e...

The progress in high technology has led to the wide use of thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFTLCD). The evolution of the manufacturing technology of TFT-LCD keeps increasing the size of TFT-LCD since a larger TFT-LCD allows a larger display application and an improved productivity. However, as the size of TFT-LCD increases, the size of TFT-array substrates and color filter substrat...

While carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been produced industrially in ton-scale quantities for nearly two decades, scalable manufacturing processes that precisely control the structure, length, and alignment of CNTs are needed to realize the exceptional properties of CNTs at larger scales. Specifically, vertically aligned CNT forests are a model system for further understanding what limits the growt...
