Patents by Inventor Wim Geens

Wim Geens 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: 7960246
    Abstract: Methods for manufacturing electronic devices and devices produced by those methods are disclosed. One such method includes releasably bonding a first surface of a device substrate to a face of a first carrier substrate using a first bonding agent to produce a first composite substrate, where the face of the first carrier substrate includes a pattern of trenches. The method also includes processing the device substrate to manufacture an electronic device on a second surface of the device substrate. The method further includes releasing the device substrate from the first carrier substrate by a releasing agent.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 6, 2005
    Date of Patent: June 14, 2011
    Assignees: IMEC, UMICORE
    Inventors: Giovanni Flamand, Wim Geens, Jef Poortmans

  • Patent number: 6815711
    Abstract: An organic field-effect transistor comprises source and drain electrodes formed separately from each other on a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises at least an organic semiconductor layer constituting a channel between the source and drain electrodes, an insulation layer underlying the organic semiconductor layer, and a gate electrode formed on the opposite side of the isolation layer. The organic semiconductor layer comprises hole and electron transporters, wherein the electron transporters comprise (6,6)-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), and wherein the hole transporters comprise poly(2-methoxy-5-(3′,7′-dimethyloctyloxy)-1,4-phenylene-vinylene)(OC1C10-PPV) and/or poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT).
