Title: Meimei Tidrow: Innovator in Photodetector Technology
Introduction
Meimei Tidrow is a distinguished inventor based in Silver Spring, MD (US). She has made significant contributions to the field of photodetector technology, holding a total of 5 patents. Her innovative work focuses on methods that enhance the performance and fabrication of advanced materials.
Latest Patents
Among her latest patents is the "Method of passivating and encapsulating III-V surfaces." This method involves producing a surfaced passivated, encapsulated surface III-V type II superlattice (T2SL) photodetector. Specifically, it details a p-type heterojunction device that cleans, etches, and exposes the surface of a III/V material to solution mixtures. This process simultaneously removes oxides from the surface and encapsulates the surfaces, improving the device's performance.
Another notable patent is the "Method of fabricating a colossal magneto-resistive detector using a thin film transfer method." This innovative approach includes the use of a perovskite oxide material as a substrate, along with a rock salt structure material serving as a buffer layer, template layer, and release layer. The advantages of this method include the ability to produce a detector with the requisite film quality while satisfying temperature coefficient of resistance and fabrication temperature constraints. Additionally, the rock salt structure material can be easily removed using water after bonding, streamlining the fabrication process.
