INTRODUCTION
In 1906, L.D Forest invented the first vacuum tube which was used for rectifying, amplifying and switching electrical signals [1]. Vacuum tubes had played an important role in the development of electronics before the advent of semiconductor transistor. In 1947, J. Brattain and W. Bardeen invented the first point contact junction transistor [2,3] and in 1948 W. Schokley proposed bipolar junction transistor (BJT) [4]. In 1951, W. Shockley invented junction field-effect transistor (JFET) [5]. JFET replaced the vacuum tube by a solid state device and found the path for smaller and cheaper electronic devices. In 1958, j. Kilby invented the first integrated circuit and received the Nobel physics prize for his innovative work [6].For the first time, In 1960, D. Kahng fabricated metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) on silicon(Si)-substrate using silicon oxide(SiO2)[7].MOSFETs rapidly replaced the JFET and had become core of microelectronics. Due to single polarity of MOSFET, it suffered large power dissipation. In 1963, the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) field effect transistor (FET) which uses both n-type and p-type MOSFETs [8].
Towards the beginning of the 21st century, For the design of the electronic system enormous efforts have been undertaken. For defence, space, automatic control of industrial processes and medical diagnostics, where two parts namely microprocessor and microsensor actively works during the function of microelectronic device[9-11].Aggressive progress in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuit technology has allowed device performance and speed to meet marketdemand. One such attempt to meet this demand is the continual...

This is a technique to study structural details of the samples. By this technique size and shape of the crystal , the average atomic spacing , orientation of the single and ploy crystal are determined.
The materials with a crystalline structure, X‐rays scattered by ordered features will be scattered coherently in certain directions for satisfying the criteria for constructive interference, signal amplification. The conditions required for constructive interference are determined by the English physicist W.H. Bragg and known as Bragg’s law.
The Bragg’s law describing relationship a beam of X-ray having particular wavelength diffracts at certain angle from a crystalline surface defined by equation nλ = 2d sinθ λ= X‐ray wavelength d = distance between lattice planes θ= angle of incidence with lattice plane n = integer
on the primary beam is that it limits the x-ray beam field size. The beam restricting device alters
For the second electronics project, my partner and I worked together to program an Arduino to light up and dim an LED with a switch, and then by using different frequencies of light to change the brightness of the LED. We also set up three switches to control the amount of red, green, and blue in the LED and use it to make different colors. We first set up a single light circuit that similar to that of the first project. We then added a switch to the breadboard that would allow us to turn on and off the LED. We then removed the switch and added a potentiometer. This allows us to change the brightness of the LED by turning the potentiometer. The next task was to add a photoresistor that would take in light and change the LED brightness according
X-rays are generated when a stream of electrons traveling from one side of a vacuum tube is stopped on impact at the tungsten target of the anode.
X-rays are electromagnetic waves that are like light. They can penetrate materials with masses to different levels. When the x-rays hit the film, it creates an image which shows it like a light would. Since bone, fat, muscle, tumors and other structures all absorb x-rays at different levels, the image on the film lets you see different distinct structures inside the body. This is because of the various levels of exposure on the film.
Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) is the integration of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators and electronics on a common silicon substrate using microfabrication techniques. MEMS are a hot area of research because they integrate sensing, analyzing and responding on the same silicon substrate hence promising realization of complete systems-on-a-chip. As MEMS are manufactured using batch fabrication techniques similar to IC technology, MEMS are expected to deliver high functionality at low prices.
“X-rays were discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Roentgen, a professor who was working on emissions from electric currents in vacuums. While working, he discovered a glow from the barium platinocyanide coated screen. He continued to experiment and landed the first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901” (Bansal, 2006). Over the years, many improvements have been made to Roentgen’s discovery and radiography is offered in every hospital around the world.
BJT and FET transistors are used in virtually every electronic device requiring current regulation or amplification. They make it very easy to precisely control power to a device reliably and with much greater efficiency than other methods. Another common use of transistors is their role in discrete logic. First used in DTL (Diode Transistor Logic) transistors compact nature and high switching speeds lend themselves well to use in logic ICs. In ...

The current conveyor is a basic building block that can be implemented in analog circuit design. This was introduced by Sedra and Smith in 1968 but its real advantages and innovative impact was not clear at that time. In recent years, current-mode circuits have emerged as an important class of circuits with properties of accuracy, high frequency range and versatility in a wide range of applications. Current conveyor represents the emerging class of high performance analog circuit design based on current mode approach. It has simple architecture, wider bandwidth and capability to operate at low voltage. The c...
System architecture and design of the system of an SoC is the most important parts to be considered when developing system-on-chip applications.
By the time the 20th century arrived, vacuum tubes were invented that could transmit weak electrical signals which led to the formation of electromagnetic waves that led to the invention of the radio broadcast system (750). These vacuum tubes were discovered to be able to transmit currents through solid material, which led to the creation of transistors in the 1960’s (750).
The creation of the microchip dates back to the late 1950s, when two separate American engineers developed their own microchips. Both their goals were to make a transistor smaller and use less power, but in the same time, accommodate more transistors onto one surface to increase the performance of transistors. Despite their separate backgrounds, their microchips were essentially identical in terms of the components. Both were built on very thin wafers of semiconductor materials, and both laid small “paths” of metal onto the semiconductor material. This meant that they were able to integrate a whole network onto a very small surface. The influence of the creation of the microchip had great influences around the world in many different aspects of society.
