Brian Vialpando 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).

  • Thin film resistor structure and method of fabricating a thin film resistor structure
    Patent number: 7403095
    Abstract: A thin film resistor structure and a method of fabricating a thin film resistor structure is provided. The thin film resistor structure includes an electrical interface layer or head layer that is a combination of a Titanium (Ti) layer and a Titanium Nitride (TiN) layer. The combination of the Ti layer and the TiN layer mitigates resistance associated with the electrical interface layers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 4, 2005
    Date of Patent: July 22, 2008
    Assignee: Texas Instruments Incorporated
    Inventors: Brian Vialpando, Eric William Beach, Philipp Steinmann
