Patents by Inventor Akihiko Saegusa

Akihiko Saegusa 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).

  • Publication number: 20040214363
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes an LED chip fixed to an electrode body via a conductive layer of In or an In alloy. The conductive layer is in ohmic-contact with an n-type ZnSe crystal substrate of the LED chip. To make the device, In or an In alloy is melted oil the electrode body, the ZnSe substrate is placed directly on tile melted In or In alloy and then subjected to at least one of vibration and pressure to achieve a good bond and ohmic contact between the In or In alloy and tile ZnSe substrate.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 6420731
    Abstract: An injected current restriction region for restricting an increase in defects by restricting an injected current for light emission is provided inside a ZnSe-based LED. When an end of a light transmitting Au electrode is separated from a cleavage plane, a region near the cleavage plane serves as the injected current restriction region.
