MEMS devices are microscale systems which are fabricated using micro fabrication techniques. MEMS systems suggest many different functional devices for both military applications and consumer products. The packaging of MEMS devices is one of the most challenging parts of MEMS commercialization. Each type of MEMS device may need special operation environment. Therefore, the packaging of MEMS devices must provide required hermeticity in order to keep the special environment throughout the device's lifetime. Also another aspect of the production of MEMS devices is the miniaturization of the devices. The die level packaging of the MEMS devices is very costly. The use of wafer-level-packaging (WLP) processes enables the packaging of the devices with a single bonding process before the wafer is diced to have individual devices. In this thesis work materials and material systems and processes which enables the wafer level packaging of MEMS devices will be investigated.

Electromagnetic analysis and design of miniaturized branchline couplers / Arıcan, Galip Orkun; Sayan, Gönül; Şen, Özlem; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) Branchline couplers are widely used components in the design of microwave devices. In addition to other applications, these couplers have been crucial elements for high power GaN based MMIC designs where layout space limitations are known to be critical. The conventional branchline couplers designed by four quarter wavelenght transmission lines. This type of conventional branchline coupler covers a large physical area that leads to high costs in MMIC fabrication. Therefore, design of miniaturized branchline...
Investigation of Defects in CZT Single Crystals Yaşar, Bengisu; Kabukçuoğlu, Merve; Ergunt, Yasin; Parlak, Mehmet; Turan, Raşit; Kalay, Yunus Eren (2017-03-02) The II-IV compound semiconductor CZT single crystal is a highly prominent material for the fabrication of various industrial applications such as gamma ray/X-ray detectors, electro-optic modulators and solar cells. Often, CZT single crystals suffer from various crystallographic defects emerged during crystal growth and post-growth cooling processes. In the scope of this research, the nano scale defects were investigated by using HRTEM. Single crystalline CZT crystals were grown using a three-zone vertical B...
Development of indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticle incorporated transparent conductive oxide thin films Yavaş, Hakan; Durucan, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2012) Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films have been used as transparent electrodes in many technological applications such as display panels, solar cells, touch screens and electrochromic devices. Commercial grade ITO thin films are usually deposited by sputtering. Solution-based coating methods, such as sol-gel however, can be simple and economic alternative method for obtaining oxide films and also ITO. In this thesis, “ITO sols” and “ITO nanoparticle-incorporated hybrid ITO coating sols” were prepared using indi...
Synthesis of novel diketopyrrole and selenophene containing nir absorbing polymers and their application in bulk-heterojunction solar cells Öklem, Gülce; Günbaş, Emrullah Görkem; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2017) DPP-based conjugated polymers are recently used in organic light emitting diodes, electrochromic devices, organic field effect transistor and organic solar cell applications. Their advantageous properties, such as broad optical absorption in Near Infra Red (NIR) region, high charge carrier mobility and good film forming ability make them an excellent choice for generation of highly efficient solar cells. In this thesis, using donor-acceptor approach (D-A) we aimed to synthesize novel polymers with furan bas...
Development of a large area germanium on insulator platform by liquid phase epitaxy Özyurt, Zişan İrem; Yerci, Selçuk; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2017) Germanium is a group IV element compatible with CMOS (Complementary metal oxide semiconductor) fabrication technology and advantageous over silicon by having smaller band gap and higher carrier mobility, which provide infrared photodetectors and high-speed transistors respectively. In addition, by having direct band gap, strained-Ge enables fabrication of infrared lasers. Finally, thanks to lattice-matching, Ge layers on Si can also be used as virtual substrates for the growth of III-V compounds on Si. In o...
