Patents by Inventor Lincoln Lauhon

Lincoln Lauhon 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).

  • Nanoscale wires and related devices
    Publication number: 20070281156
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to sub-microelectronic circuitry, and more particularly to nanometer-scale articles, including nanoscale wires which can be selectively doped at various locations and at various levels. In some cases, the articles may be single crystals. The nanoscale wires can be doped, for example, differentially along their length, or radially, and either in terms of identity of dopant, concentration of dopant, or both. This may be used to provide both n-type and p-type conductivity in a single item, or in different items in close proximity to each other, such as in a crossbar array. The fabrication and growth of such articles is described, and the arrangement of such articles to fabricate electronic, optoelectronic, or spintronic devices and components.
    Type: Application
    Filed: March 21, 2006
    Publication date: December 6, 2007
    Applicant: President and Fellows of Harvard College
    Inventors: Charles Lieber, Xiangfeng Duan, Yi Cui, Yu Huang, Mark Gudiksen, Lincoln Lauhon, Jianfang Wang, Hongkun Park, Qingqiao Wei, Wenjie Liang, David Smith, Deli Wang, Zhaohui Zhong
