Title: Timothy D. Corrigan and Controllable Nanoparticle Deposition
Introduction
Timothy D. Corrigan is an inventor associated with Laurel, Maryland, and the University System of Maryland. His work includes an invention for controlling how nanoparticles are deposited on patterned semiconductor substrates.
Latest Patents
Corrigan is credited with 1 patent: “Method and System for Controllable Deposition of Nanoparticles.” The invention describes using a reverse-bias electric field across p-n junctions to guide unipolarly charged nanoparticles from the gas phase onto selected p-doped or n-doped regions. The particles are laterally confined through the balance of electrostatic, van der Waals, and image forces. By adjusting the field to a predetermined strength, the method enables controlled deposition and offers a way to create electric-field patterns that direct particles with greater precision.
