Conductive and Magnetic Phases in an Electron Trapping Semiconductor Array

Nanotechnology is a rapidly evolving field where the race is on to develop self-organizing structures that can be used as active circuit elements. This technology describes a semiconductor array that can be configured so as to exhibit a number of distinct physical phases, each of which has its own distinct electrical and/or magnetic characteristics.

Benefits
The strip array can be incorporated into MOSFET (metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistors) geometry and utilized in amplifier and memory cell applications. The strip can exhibit superconductive characteristics under relatively high temperature conditions. A method for changing the electromagnetic properties of a semiconductor strip array has also been described. The strip array includes a plurality of intersecting strips of semiconductor material deposited on a substrate. In another aspect, another MOSFET structure is disclosed where the variation of the voltage leads to the formation of various electronic phases that are distinguishable by their electrical and magnetic characteristics.

Stage of Development
A formal patent application has been filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office.
This technology is seeking partners for development-manufacturing-sales-etc of the working-final-etc product. It is available for developmental research support/licensing under either exclusive or non-exclusive terms.
