Patents by Inventor Peter Nothaft

Peter Nothaft 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: 5003364
    Abstract: The invention relates to CCD Si detector configuration with a semiconductor sensibilizator. The spectral range of the detectors extends from 0.4 .mu.m to 1.6 .mu.m. The CCD Si detector configuration is produced as integrated structure so that a large picture element number can be achieved. The semiconductor layer sequence of the semiconductor sensibilizator is grown using differential molecular beam epitaxial growth techniques.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4652901
    Abstract: An integrated circuit arrangement including an infrared sensitive silicon substrate having an epitaxial layer with integrated electronic processing devices applied to the major surface thereof, wherein the epitaxial layer is partially etched away to expose the detector region of the substrate. The exposed detector region is then connected to the processing devices by either a shallow diffusion or by other means. A method for producing such an arrangement, preferably using a crystal orientation dependent etching medium for etching the epitaxial layer, is also disclosed.
