Katuichi Ohsawa 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: 6700144
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes the following: a semiconductor substrate of a first conduction type; an intrinsic semiconductor layer of the first conduction type formed on the semiconductor substrate; a first semiconductor layer of a second conduction type formed on the intrinsic semiconductor layer; a first impurity layer of the first conduction type formed in the first semiconductor layer of the second conduction type; and a bipolar transistor and a MIS transistor formed in the first semiconductor layer of the second conduction type. The laminated structure of the semiconductor substrate, the intrinsic semiconductor layer, and the first semiconductor layer provides a diode for photoelectric conversion. A first insulator layer and a second insulator layer are formed respectively in at least a portion below the bipolar transistor and the MIS transistor.
    Type: Grant
