Michelle R. Fowler 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).

  • Thermal- and chemical-resistant acid protection coating material and spin-on thermoplastic adhesive
    Patent number: 8268449
    Abstract: New compositions for use as protective coatings and/or adhesives are provided. The compositions comprise a hydrocarbon resin (e.g., terpene rosin) and a rubber (e.g., EPDM) dispersed or dissolved in a solvent system. The solvent system is preferably a single-solvent system, and the compositions are preferably free of surfactants, dyes, and chromophores. The compositions can be cured or dried to form layers or films that are chemically and thermally resistant, but that can be readily dissolved and removed at the appropriate stage in the fabrication process.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 6, 2006
    Date of Patent: September 18, 2012
    Assignee: Brewer Science Inc.
    Inventors: John C. Moore, Michelle R. Fowler

  • Highly plasma etch-resistant photoresist composition containing a photosensitive polymeric titania precursor
    Patent number: 6303270
    Abstract: A composition is derived from an addition polymerizable organotitanium polymer which upon exposure to an oxygen plasma or baking in air, is converted to titanium dioxide (titania) or is converted to a mixed, titanium-containing metal oxide. The metal oxide formed in situ imparts etch-resistant action to a patterned photoresist layer. The composition may also be directly deposited and patterned into permanent metal oxide device features by a photolithographic process.
