Patents by Inventor Daniel Chmielewski

Daniel Chmielewski 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: 11515353
    Abstract: Multicolor, stacked detector devices, focal plane arrays including multicolor, stacked detector devices, and methods of fabricating the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, a stacked multicolor detector device includes a first detector and a second detector. The first detector includes a first detector structure and a first ground plane adjacent the first detector structure. The second detector includes a second detector structure and a second ground plane adjacent the second detector structure. At least one of the first ground plane and the second ground plane is transmissive to radiation in a predetermined spectral band. The first detector and the second detector are in a stacked relationship.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11411040
    Abstract: Methods of fabricating multicolor, stacked detector devices and focal plane arrays are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of fabricating a stacked multicolor device includes forming a first detector by depositing a first detector structure on a first detector substrate, and depositing a first ground plane on the first detector structure, wherein the first ground plane is transmissive to radiation in a predetermined spectral band. The method further includes bonding an optical carrier wafer to the first ground plane, removing the first detector substrate, and forming a second detector. The second detector is formed by depositing a second detector structure on a second detector substrate, and depositing a second ground plane on the second detector structure. The method further includes depositing a dielectric layer on one of the first detector structure and the second ground plane, bonding the first detector to the second detector, and removing the second detector substrate.
