Latest Patents

Misra is listed as an inventor on 1 patent, titled “Selective Processing of Semiconductor Nanowires by Polarized Visible Radiation.” The invention describes methods, systems, and apparatuses for annealing semiconductor nanowires and fabricating electrical devices. Nanowires are deposited on a substrate, connected electrically to multiple electrodes, and doped. A polarized laser beam then anneals at least part of the nanowires. When the nanowires are aligned along an axis, the beam’s polarization can be oriented parallel or perpendicular to that axis to alter how the nanowires absorb the radiation.
