Pei-Chin Chiu 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: 8629012
    Abstract: An integrated circuit structure includes a substrate and a first and a second plurality of III-V semiconductor layers. The first plurality of III-V semiconductor layers includes a first bottom barrier over the substrate; a first channel layer over the first bottom barrier; and a first top barrier over the first channel layer. A first field-effect transistor (FET) includes a first channel region, which includes a portion of the first channel layer. The second plurality of III-V semiconductor layers is over the first plurality of III-V semiconductor layers and includes a second bottom barrier; a second channel layer over the second bottom barrier; and a second top barrier over the second channel layer. A second FET includes a second channel region, which includes a portion of the second channel layer.

  • Publication number: 20130277713
    Abstract: An As(arsenic)/Sb(antimony) compound semiconductor is grown on a Si(silicon) or Ge (germanium) substrate. With the present invention, island-like growth on the Si or Ge substrate owing to lattice constant mismatch is prevented. Bad electrical isolation owing to diffusion of Ge is also prohibited. The present invention could obtain a high quality metamorphic buffer which is suitable for integrating a Si or Ge substrate with an electronic or optoelectronic device of a III/V group semiconductor.

  • Publication number: 20120292663
    Abstract: The invention provides two Sb-based n- or p-channel layer structures as a template for MISFET and complementary MISFET development. Four types of MISFET devices and two types of complementary MISFET circuit devices can be developed based on the invented layer structures. Also, the layer structures can accommodate more than one complementary MISFETs and more than one single active MISFETs to be integrated on the same substrate monolithically.
