Michael D. Fischbein 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).

  • Nanostructure assemblies, methods and devices thereof
    Patent number: 8828792
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for assembling nanostructures. The assembling methods include contacting the plurality of nanostructures to a substrate having one or more discontinuities. At least a portion of the plurality of nanostructures assemble adjacent to the discontinuity, the assembled nanostructures including at least one nanostructure having a bridging, molecule. Devices, such as field-effect transistors, are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 9, 2014
    Assignee: The Trustees of The University of Pennsylvania
    Inventors: Marija Drndic, Michael D. Fischbein
  • Beam ablation lithography
    Patent number: 8173335
    Abstract: Provided are beam ablation lithography methods capable of removing and manipulating material at the nanoscale. Also provided are nanoscale devices, nanogap field effect transistors, nano-wires, nano-crystals and artificial atoms made using the disclosed methods.
    Type: Grant

  • Nanocrystal quantum dot memory devices
    Patent number: 7813160
    Abstract: Memory devices and recordable media are disclosed that take advantage of memory effects in the electronic transport in CdSe nanocrystal (NC) quantum dot arrays. Conduction through a NC array can be reduced with a negative voltage and then restored with a positive voltage. Light can also be used to restore or even increase the NC array conduction. The switching of the conduction in CdSe NC arrays and found the behavior to be highly sensitive to the value and duration of the laser and voltage pulses.
