Patents by Inventor Getenet Tesega Ayele

Getenet Tesega Ayele 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: 10794856
    Abstract: A detection stage of an electronic detection device, for example a pH meter, includes an insulating region that receives an element to be analyzed. The insulating region is positioned on a sensing conductive region. A biasing stage includes an electrically conductive region which is capacitively coupled to the conductive region. The electrically conductive region is formed in an uppermost metallization level along with a further conductive region. That further conductive region is electrically connected to the sensing conductive region by a via passing through an insulating layer which insulates the electrically conductive region from the sensing conductive region.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 13, 2019
    Date of Patent: October 6, 2020
    Assignee: STMicroelectronics (Crolles 2) SAS
    Inventors: Getenet Tesega Ayele, Stephane Monfray
  • Patent number: 10684251
    Abstract: A dual gate ion sensitive field effect transistor (ISFET) includes a first bias voltage node coupled to a back gate of the ISFET and a second bias voltage node coupled to a control gate of the ISFET. A bias voltage generator circuit is configured to generate a back gate voltage having a first magnitude and a first polarity for application to the first bias voltage node. The bias voltage generator circuit is further configured to generate a control gate voltage having a second magnitude and a second polarity for application to the second bias voltage node. The second polarity is opposite the first polarity.
