Patents by Inventor Piero Giubilato

Piero Giubilato 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: 11081614
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a semiconductor sensor of ionizing radiation and/or ionizing particles with a backside bias electrode and a backside junction for completely depleting the semiconductor substrate up to carrier collection regions each connected to a respective collection electrode of carriers generated by ionization in the substrate. Differently from prior sensors, the sensor of this disclosure has an intermediate semiconductor layer formed upon the substrate, having a greater doping concentration than the doping concentration of the substrate and a doping of a same type. In this intermediate layer, buried doped regions of opposite type one separated from the other are formed for shielding superficial regions in which readout circuits are defined.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 22, 2018
    Date of Patent: August 3, 2021
    Assignee: LFOUNDRY S.R.L.
    Inventors: Angelo Rivetti, Lucio Pancheri, Piero Giubilato, Manuel Dionisio Da Rocha Rolo, Giovanni Margutti, Onorato Di Cola

  • Publication number: 20140341477
    Abstract: A projective compression scheme for an n-dimensional data array makes use of at least n+1 compression maps in order to maximize the ability to resolve ambiguities. The invention also relates to hardware implementations of the projective compression scheme, and in particular to front end circuits that allow for a compressive readout.
