Patents by Inventor Schubert Francis Soares

Schubert Francis Soares 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).

  • Schottky-barrier semiconductor device
    Patent number: 6338275
    Abstract: A Schottky-barrier sensor has a semiconductor substrate having a pair of metal contacts formed thereon. The contacts form a Schottky barrier at each interface between metal and substrate, and the substrate is mounted on a surface. Strain, temperature and other physical parameters which affect the Schottky-barrier potential can be measured by voltage or current measuring equipment conductively connected to the Schottky-barrier semiconductor device.
    Type: Grant
