We present a novel method for the direct metal-free growth of graphene on sapphire that
yields high quality films comparable to that of graphene grown on SiC by sublimation. …

We report results of Raman spectroscopy studies of large-area epitaxial graphene grown on
SiC. Our work reveals unexpectedly large variation in Raman shift resulting from graphene …

STT-MRAM has been emerging as a very-promising high-density embedded nonvolatile
memory (eNVM) [1, 2]. Embedded Flash memory has been the leading eNVM technology, but …

In this paper, we discuss array-level MTJ process, performance, and reliability requirements
for STT-MRAM operation in an L4 Cache application. We demonstrate 2 MB arrays of scaled…

This paper presents a high-yielding backside power delivery (BPD) technology, PowerVia,
implemented on Intel 4 finFET process. PowerVia more directly integrates power delivery to …

Graphene has been used recently as a replacement for indium tin oxide (ITO) for the transparent
electrode of an organic photovoltaic device. Due to its limited supply, ITO is considered …

We measured the conductance fluctuation of bilayer and trilayer graphene devices, which
were prepared on mechanically exfoliated graphene by an all-dry, lithography-free process by …

The onset and dynamics of flow in shallow horizontally oscillating granular layers are studied
as a function of the depth of the layer and imposed acceleration. Measurements of the flow …

We show that an e-gun deposited dielectric impose severe limits on epitaxial graphene-based
device performance based on Raman spectroscopy and low-temperature transport …

… The dissertation of Conor Puls was reviewed and approved by the following: … Outside the
laboratory, I give innite due thanks to my wife Ashley Puls, who has been wholly supportive and …
