Ainissa Ramirez has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Device having a barrier layer located therein and a method of manufacture therefor
    Patent number: 6639724
    Abstract: A device for use in a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) optical device. The device includes a substrate having opposing first and second sides and a diffusion barrier layer formed over at least the first side. The device further includes a light reflective optical layer formed over the diffusion barrier layer on the first side of the substrate. The second side may desirably have a stress balancing layer located thereover.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 5, 2001
    Date of Patent: October 28, 2003
    Assignees: Lucent Technologies Inc., Agere Systems Optoelectronics Guardian Corporation
    Inventors: John Eric Bower, Michal E. Gross, Sungho Jin, Hareesh Mavoori, Ainissa Ramirez
  • Micro-electro-optical mechanical device having an implanted dopant included therein and a method of manufacture therefor
    Patent number: 6522801
    Abstract: The present invention provides a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) optical device. The micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) optical device includes a mirror having a substrate with an implanted light reflective optical layer thereover, and a mounting substrate on which the mirror is movably mounted. The inclusion of the dopant within the light reflective optical layer increases the tensile stress of the device and tends to correct the concave curvature of the mirror structure toward a desirably flat configuration.
