Title: Sunil Thomas and Avalanche Photodiode Innovation.
Introduction
Sunil Thomas is an inventor based in Mountain View, California, and is associated with Finisar Corporation. His patent work addresses a manufacturing technique for avalanche photodiodes, devices used to detect light.
Latest Patents
Thomas is credited with 1 patent: “Starved Source Diffusion for Avalanche Photodiode.” The disclosure describes a method for controlling an edge effect during photodiode fabrication. It forms absorber and avalanche layers over a substrate, then uses a patterned mask to guide dopant diffusion into the avalanche layer. By varying the diffusion depth, the method creates a sloped diffusion front.
Career Highlights
The patent reflects Thomas’s work on semiconductor device fabrication and optical detection technology. His association with Finisar Corporation connects his invention to a company active in optical communications.
Collaborations
Thomas’s listed coworkers include Daniel Francis and Rashit Nabiev. The available information identifies them as colleagues but does not specify their roles in the patent.
Conclusion
Sunil Thomas’s patented diffusion method offers a way to shape dopant profiles in avalanche photodiodes and control edge effects during manufacturing.
