Patents by Inventor Amir Yasseri

Amir Yasseri 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: 9766063
    Abstract: A method for treating a nonhomogeneous material surface of an object is provided. A plurality of test patches of the surface is treated for different amounts of time wherein the plurality of test patches have a total surface area. A property of each test patch is measured. A calibration curve of the property is generated with respect to time. The calibration curve and a target property are used to obtain a target time. A surface of the object with a surface area, which is greater than the total surface area of the plurality of test patches, is treated for the target time.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20070254169
    Abstract: Structures including a substrate having a nano-patterned surface, and a self-assembled monolayer of an organic material on the nano-patterned surface are provided. The self-assembled monolayer is ordered with respect to features of the nano-patterned surface. Methods of making the structures and filament switching devices including a self-assembled monolayer are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20070212897
    Abstract: This invention provides a new procedure for attaching molecules to semiconductor surfaces, in particular silicon. The molecules, which include, but are not limited to porphyrins and ferrocenes, have been previously shown to be attractive candidates for molecular-based information storage. The new attachment procedure is simple, can be completed in short times, requires minimal amounts of material, is compatible with diverse molecular functional groups, and in some instances affords unprecedented attachment motifs. These features greatly enhance the integration of the molecular materials into the processing steps that are needed to create hybrid molecular/semiconductor information storage devices.

  • Patent number: 7074519
    Abstract: This invention provides a new design and fabrication for a three-dimensional crossbar architecture embedding a sub-micron or nanometer sized hole (called a molehole) in each cross-region. Each molehole is an electrochemical cell consisting of two or more sectional surfaces separated by a non-conductor (e.g. a dialectric layer and solid electrolyte). When used in electrochemical molecular memory device (EMMD), the architecture provides unique features such as a nano-scale electroactive surface, no interaction between memory elements, and easier miniaturization and integration.
