Patents by Inventor Johannes Richard Luyken

Johannes Richard Luyken 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: 7709827
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vertical integrated component, a component arrangement and a method for production of a vertical integrated component. The vertical integrated component has a first electrical conducting layer, a mid layer, partly embodied from dielectric material on the first electrical conducting layer, a second electrical conducting layer on the mid layer and a nanostructure integrated in a through hold introduced in the mid layer. A first end section of the nanostructure is coupled to the first electrical conducting layer and a second end section is coupled to the second electrical conducting layer. The mid layer includes a third electrical conducting layer between two adjacent dielectric partial layers, the thickness of which is less than the thickness of at least one of the dielectric partial layers.

  • Patent number: 7692246
    Abstract: The present invention provides a FinFET transistor arrangement produced using a method with the steps: providing a substrate (106, 108); forming an active region (1) on the substrate a fin-like channel region (113b?; 113b?). Formation of the fin-like channel region (113b?; 113b?) has the following steps: forming a hard mask (S1-S4) on the active region (1); anisotropic etching of the active region (1) using the hard mask (S1-S4) forming STI trenches (G1-G5) having an STI oxide filling (9); polishing-back of the STI oxide filling (9); etching-back of the polished-back STI oxide filling (9); selective removal of components of the hard mask forming a modified hard mask (S1?-S4?); anisotropic etching of the active region (1) using the modified hard mask (S1?-S4?) forming widened STI trenches (G1?-G5?), the fin-like channel regions (113b?; 113b?) of the active region (1) remaining for each individual FinFET transistor.
