Sue Ann B. Allen 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).

  • Optical waveguides formed from nano air-gap inter-layer dielectric materials and methods of fabrication thereof
    Patent number: 6947651
    Abstract: Waveguides and methods of fabrication thereof are presented. A representative waveguide includes a waveguide core and a cladding layer, where the cladding layer surrounds the waveguide core. The waveguide core and cladding can be made of a host material having a plurality of nano-pores, wherein the nano-pores include a sacrificial material, and the sacrificial material can be selectively decomposed in both the core and cladding layers to form a plurality of nano air-gaps.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 10, 2002
    Date of Patent: September 20, 2005
    Assignee: Georgia Tech Research Corporation
    Inventors: Tony Mule′ , Paul Kohl, James D. Meindl, Agnes Padovani, Thomas K. Gaylord, Elias N. Glytsis, Sue Ann B. Allen
