Nicholas P. Mencinger 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).

  • Wire bonding surface and bonding method
    Patent number: 6265300
    Abstract: A bonding pad structure for use with compliant dielectric materials and a method for wire bonding is described in which a rigid layer is formed between the bonding pad and the compliant dielectric layer. The rigid layer increases the stiffness of the bonding structure such that an effective bond may be achieved by conventional ultrasonic and thermosonic bonding methods.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 18, 1993
    Date of Patent: July 24, 2001
    Assignee: Intel Corporation
    Inventors: Ameet S. Bhansali, Gay M. Samuelson, Venkatesan Murali, Michael J. Gasparek, Shou H. Chen, Nicholas P. Mencinger, Ching C. Lee, Kevin Jeng
