Eric Karlsson 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: 20140339625
    Abstract: A Vertical Power MOSFET (VDMOS) device with special features that enable the Power MOSFET or IGBT device to withstand harsh radiation environments and the process of making such a device is described. All implanted and diffused layers are “self aligned” to a “Sacrificial Poly” layer, which later on is removed, preparing the wafers for a “late gate” oxide to be grown. A starting material with graded doping profile in the epitaxial layer on the substrate is shown to increase the SEB capability of the Power MOSFET.
    Type: Application
