Patents by Inventor Lola Brown

Lola Brown 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: 9947749
    Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention include a versatile and scalable process, “patterned regrowth,” that allows for the spatially controlled synthesis of lateral junctions between electrically conductive graphene and insulating h-BN, as well as between intrinsic and substitutionally doped graphene. The resulting films form mechanically continuous sheets across these heterojunctions. These embodiments represent an element of developing atomically thin integrated circuitry and enable the fabrication of electrically isolated active and passive elements embedded in continuous, one atom thick sheets, which may be manipulated and stacked to form complex devices at the ultimate thickness limit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 13, 2014
    Date of Patent: April 17, 2018
    Assignee: Cornell University

  • Patent number: 9362364
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing one or more graphene devices is disclosed. A thin film growth substrate is formed directly on a device substrate. Graphene is formed on the thin film growth substrate. A transistor is also disclosed, having a device substrate and a source supported by the device substrate. The transistor also has a drain separated from the source and supported by the device substrate. The transistor further has a single layer graphene (SLG) channel grown partially on and coupling the source and the drain. The transistor also has a gate aligned with the SLG channel, and a gate insulator between the gate and the SLG channel. Integrated circuits and other apparati having a device substrate, a thin film growth substrate formed directly on at least a portion of the device substrate, and graphene formed directly on at least a portion of the thin film growth substrate are also disclosed.
