Yu SUGIMOTO 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).

  • INTERCONNECT STRUCTURE, SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE, METHOD OF OPERATING ACTIVE ELEMENT, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING INTERCONNECT STRUCTURE, METHOD OF USING INTERCONNECT STRUCTURE, METHOD OF CONTROLLING INTERCONNECT RESISTANCE OF INTERCONNECT STRUCTURE, METHOD OF EVALUATING INTERCONNECT STRUCTURE, METHOD OF EVALUATING DEVICE, METHOD OF DRIVING DEVICE, AND EVALUATION DEVICE
    Publication number: 20250089580
    Abstract: An interconnect structure includes: an interconnect layer containing a metal element as a main component and extending in a direction; a metal layer opposite to the interconnect layer, and a solid electrolyte layer between the interconnect layer and the metal layer. The solid electrolyte layer encloses the interconnect layer at least in a cross-sectional view taken along a plane orthogonal to the direction. The interconnect layer and the metal layer are electrically insulated from each other by the solid electrolyte layer.

  • EVALUATION INSTRUMENT AND EVALUATION METHOD
    Publication number: 20220282193
    Abstract: An evaluation instrument is used in evaluating a compound produced by a cell. The evaluation instrument includes a holding space for holding a suspension containing the cell and a through hole that is formed at a bottom of the holding space. The through hole is closed with a substance that is impermeable to the cell and allows the compound to move therethrough.
