Title: Jan W Vandersande: Innovator in Semiconductor Technology
Introduction
Jan W Vandersande is a prominent inventor based in Upland, CA (US). She has made significant contributions to the field of semiconductor technology, holding a total of 2 patents. Her work focuses on improving the efficiency and stability of semiconductor materials.
Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is titled "Stable metallization for diamond and other materials." This invention presents an adherent and metallurgically stable metallization system for diamond. The big improvement in metallurgical stability is attributed to the use of a ternary, amorphous Ti--Si--N diffusion barrier. No diffusion between the layers and no delamination of the metallization was observed after annealing the schemes at 400°C for 100 hours and at 900°C for 30 minutes. Thermal cycling experiments in air from -65 to 155°C and adhesion tests were performed. Various embodiments are disclosed.
Another notable patent is "High mobility p-type transition metal tri-antimonide and related." This invention involves transition metals (T) of Group VIII (Co, Rh, and Ir) prepared as semiconductor alloys with Sb, P, and As, having the general formula TX, wherein X is Sb₃, P₃, or As₃. The skutterudite-type crystal lattice structure of these semiconductor alloys and their enhanced semiconductor properties result in materials that may be used in the fabrication of power semiconductor devices to substantially improve the efficiency of the resulting semiconductor device. Semiconductor alloys having the desired skutterudite-type crystal lattice structure may be prepared using vertical gradient freeze techniques, liquid-solid phase sintering techniques, low-temperature powder sintering, and/or hot-pressing.
