Dominick L. Richiuso 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).

  • Programmable integrated passive devices
    Patent number: 6281564
    Abstract: An integrated passive device array structure with a value that is programmable during manufacturing. The device structure includes a substantially conductive first layer having a plurality of passive device array elements of the integrated passive device array structure disposed above the substantially conductive first layer. The device further includes an insulating layer formed above the plurality of passive device array elements. One or more vias are selectively formed in the insulating layer. The vias facilitate electrical connections between selected ones of the plurality of passive device array elements with a substantially conductive second layer subsequently deposited above the insulating layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 9, 1999
    Date of Patent: August 28, 2001
    Assignee: California Micro Devices, Inc.

  • Method for programmable integrated passive devices
    Patent number: 5998275
    Abstract: A method for endowing an integrated passive device array structure with a programmable value during manufacturing. The method includes forming a substantially conductive first layer and forming a plurality of passive device array elements of the integrated passive device array structure above the substantially conductive first layer. The method further includes forming an insulating layer above the plurality of passive device array elements. There is further included selectively forming vais the insulating layer. The vias facilitate electrical connections between selected ones of the plurality of passive device array elements with a substantially conductive second layer subsequently deposited above the insulating layer.
