Patents by Inventor Mark E. Murray

Mark E. Murray 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: 6787862
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a gas insulated gate field effect transistor and a fabricating method thereof which provides an improved insulator between the gate and the source-drain channel of a field effect transistor. The insulator is a vacuum or a gas filled trench. As compared to a conventional MOSFET, the gas insulated gate device provides reduced capacitance between the gate and the source/drain region, improved device reliability and durability, and improved isolation from interference caused by nearby electric fields. The present invention includes the steps of forming a doped source region and drain region on a substrate, forming a gate, forming a gaseous gate insulating trench and forming terminals upon the gate, the source region and the drain region. A plurality of the devices on a single substrate may be combined to form an integrated circuit.

  • Patent number: 4748026
    Abstract: This invention provides a method for producing shelf-stable yogurt product which exhibits a smooth, non-gritty texture and enhanced storage stability and the yogurt product produced by such a method. A yogurt product that is storage stable is that which does not have to be refrigerated, i.e., can be stored at room temperature for a period in excess of a few weeks without undergoing spoilage or a substantial breakdown in texture.
