Betty T. Quinton,Betty T. Quinton,Kevin D. Leedy,Jacob Lawson,Bang-Hung Tsao,James D. Scofield,J. N. Merrett,Qiuhong Zhang,Kevin J. Yost,Sharmila M. Mukhopadhyay +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of buffer layer chemistry and morphology on the growth and controllability of CNT arrays was analyzed on a model carbon substrate composed of pyrolyzed carbon film on flat silicon.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A Nanoindenter Based Method for Studying MEMS Contact Switch Microcontacts
TL;DR: In this paper, a specially designed nano-enter-based experimental setup for characterizing the physics and mechanics of MEMS scale electrical contacts when they are being cycled was described.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Gate-recessed, laterally-scaled β-Ga 2 O 3 MOSFETs with high-voltage enhancement-mode operation
Kelson D. Chabak,Andrew J. Green,Neil Moser,Steve Tetlak,Jonathan McCandless,Kevin D. Leedy,Robert C. Fitch,Antonio Crespo,Gregg H. Jessen +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new enhancement-mode device achieved by gate recess with improved drain-current > 20 mA/mm and near 200-V breakdown for laterally scaled 3-μm source-drain distance (L sd ).
Journal ArticleDOI
Copper alloy–stainless steel bonded laminates for fusion reactor applications: crack growth and fatigue
Kevin D. Leedy,James F. Stubbins +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, fatigue and crack growth in copper alloy-stainless steel bi-layer panels joined by hot isostatic pressing or explosive bonding were tested over the temperature range 25-225°C.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A Latching Capacitive RF MEMS Switch in a Thin Film Package
TL;DR: In this paper, a latching capacitive RF MEMS switch has been successfully designed, fabricated and tested, which uses a long thin metal cantilever which is electrostatically held to an upper electrode at the free end and to a lower electrode at a beam root end forming an S-shaped actuator.
