Patents by Inventor Erica DeIonno

Erica DeIonno 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: 6979639
    Abstract: Methods for making electronic devices where a molecular monolayer or multilayer is sandwiched between top and bottom electrodes at electrode intersections. The molecular layer has an electrical characteristic such as bistable switching. A layer of electrically conductive material is used to protect the molecular layer during formation of the top electrode pattern. The electrically conductive material remains sandwiched between the top and bottom electrodes at the electrode intersections in the final electronic device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 16, 2004
    Date of Patent: December 27, 2005
    Assignees: California Institute of Technology, Hewlett-Packard Development Co., L.P.
    Inventors: James R. Heath, Charles P. Collier, Yi Luo, Erica DeIonno, Patricia A. Beck
