Two US Patents Granted on UCC inventions

We are delighted that two new UCC patents have been granted recently by the USPTO

Nanowire electrode sensor

Patent number: 9,671,432

Abstract: The invention provides a sensor device comprising a nanowire electrode and a faradic shield, said faradic shield is adapted to prevent unwanted capacitive charging current in said sensor. The nanoelectrode device design with a metallic Faradic Shield layer significantly reduces the noise levels, increase the sensitivity of the sensors and allow measurements to be undertaken in less than 1 second

and to Ray Duffy and Maryam Shayesteh on the granting of a patent on their invention

Improved low resistance contacts for semiconductor devices

Patent number: 9,607,858

Abstract: The invention provides a method of forming at least one Metal Germanide contact on a substrate for providing a semiconducting device (100) by providing a first layer (120) of Germanium (Ge) and a second layer of metal. The invention provides a step of reacting the second layer with the first layer with high energy density pulses for obtaining a Germanide metal layer (160A) having a substantially planar interface with the underlying first (Ge) layer.
