Title: Jerry Wood and a Patent for Uniform Titanium Dioxide Deposition

Introduction

Jerry Wood is an inventor associated with Lewisville, Texas, and Texas Instruments Corporation. His patent describes a method for depositing a uniform material layer, including titanium dioxide, on an object such as a silicon sphere used in a solar array.

Latest Patents

The provided information identifies one patent for Wood: “Method for Depositing a TiO₂ Layer Using a Periodic …”. The disclosed method injects component gases at predetermined rates into a heated reaction chamber. The gases react, with the reaction substantially completing at a calculated location. An object placed at that location receives the deposited layer as its platform is tilted and rotated, helping expose its surface uniformly to the reactant. Wood is credited with 1 patent in the information provided.

Career Highlights

Wood’s listed patent focuses on controlling gas flow, reaction location, and object movement to achieve uniform coating. The described application includes coating a solar-array component with titanium dioxide.

Collaborations

The provided information lists Robert T. Turner and Craig A. Fischer as Wood’s coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the patent or whether they were collaborators on the invention.

Conclusion

Jerry Wood’s listed invention addresses uniform titanium dioxide deposition through coordinated control of the reaction chamber and the object’s movement.
