Patents by Inventor Paul Groenig

Paul Groenig 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).

  • Method of making a high voltage planar edge termination structure
    Patent number: 5714396
    Abstract: A semiconductor structure having an edge termination feature wherein a first doped region and a second doped region are selectively formed in a semiconductor layer. The second doped region is coupled with the first doped region and has an impurity concentration less than that of the first doped region. An insulating layer is disposed over the semiconductor layer and over at least a portion of the second doped region. A conductive layer, having a coil-shaped configuration, is disposed over the insulating layer and is coupled to the semiconductor layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 18, 1995
    Date of Patent: February 3, 1998
    Assignee: Motorola, Inc.
    Inventors: Stephen Robb, Paul Groenig
