Patents by Inventor Victor Watt

Victor Watt 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).

  • Method to reduce charge interface traps and channel hot carrier degradation
    Patent number: 6797644
    Abstract: Using deuterium oxygen during stream oxidation forms an oxidizing vapor. Since deuterium is chemically similar to hydrogen, the oxidation process takes place normally and the silicon-silicon oxide interface is concurrently saturated with deuterium. Saturating the interface with deuterium reduces the interface trap density thereby reducing channel hot carrier degradation.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 28, 2004
    Assignee: Texas Instruments Incorporated
