Title: Helmut Bernt: Innovator in Semiconductor Technology
Introduction
Helmut Bernt is a distinguished inventor based in Berlin, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of semiconductor technology, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to electronic components.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a method for the production of a semiconductor component. This method involves creating a semiconductor component that includes at least one first vertical power component and at least one lateral active component. The design features a trench filled with insulation, which separates the functional components. The process includes etching a trench into a silicon substrate and thinning the substrate from the back side to the insulation. This innovative method allows for effective contacting of the power components from the back side.
Another notable patent is for a sensor arrangement with electrically controllable arrays. This electric sensor array consists of several sensor positions, each equipped with at least two microelectrodes. The array is capable of detecting molecular substances electrochemically and handling charged molecules. It employs two addressing procedures for measuring, allowing individual sensor positions to be controlled for voltage or impedance measurements. This technology is particularly useful for biomolecular assays, where affinity-binding molecules can be immobilized at the sensor positions.
