Walter Michael Weber 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: 10347760
    Abstract: A reconfigurable field effect transistor (RFET) includes a nanowire, wherein the nanowire comprises two Schottky contacts, as well as two gate contacts partially enclosing the nanowire in cross section. An integrated circuit can be produced therefrom. The aim of producing CMOS circuits with enhanced functionality and a more compact design is achieved in that the nanowire is divided along the cross section thereof into two nanowire parts, wherein each nanowire part comprises a respective Schottky contact and a respective gate contact, and the two nanowire parts are connected electrically to one another via a common substrate and stand vertically on the substrate. In a nanowire-parts-array, between the nanowire parts, a respective top-gate contact and/or back-gate contact can be formed in a substrate defining a substrate plane.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8536620
    Abstract: An integrated circuit including a hetero-interface and a manufacturing method thereof is disclosed. One embodiment includes forming a hetero-structure including a hetero-interface at a junction between a first region and a second region, and, thereafter introducing a material into the first region and at least up to the hetero-interface, wherein a diffusion constant of the material is higher in the first region than in the second region.
