Patents by Inventor Delfo Sanfilippo

Delfo Sanfilippo 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).

  • Patent number: 6696916
    Abstract: The high-voltage resistor is of the vertical type, and is formed in a chip which includes a high-voltage region and a low-voltage region superimposed on the high-voltage region, both having a first conductivity type. An isolation region, at least partially buried, extends between the high-voltage region and the low-voltage region, and delimits a vertical resistive region connecting the high-voltage region to the low-voltage region.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 22, 2000
    Date of Patent: February 24, 2004
    Assignee: STMicroelectronics S.r.l.
    Inventors: Delfo Sanfilippo, Davide Patti
  • Patent number: 6441445
    Abstract: The integrated circuit device has a vertical conduction structure in which a region, which contains the base of a bipolar transistor, has zones having different concentrations. The concentrations are lower where the flow of charges is more intense and higher elsewhere. A high gain of the bipolar transistor and a low resistance of the electronic switch in conduction are thus obtained.

  • Patent number: 6331470
    Abstract: A manufacturing process is carried out starting from an SOI type wafer including a top silicon layer and a bottom silicon layer separated from each other by a buried silicon dioxide layer. In the top layer, a LOCOS type sacrificial region is formed and then removed, so as to form a cavity that extends in depth as far as the buried oxide layer. Subsequently, the cavity is filled with epitaxial or polycrystalline silicon, so as to form a power region extending between the top surface and the bottom surface of the wafer; then lateral insulation regions are formed that insulate the power region from the circuitry region.
