A patent for p-type materials

PDF versionPDF versionPrinter-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

At the ICT2000 in Cardiff, I presented a paper related with the enhancement of the yield of high quility ingots in the zone melting growth of p-type bismuth telluride-based alloys. Currently I have submitted the manuscript containing the idea of that paper for a patent.
When the growth speed of zone melting is slow to get a high quility p-type ingot (figure of merit higher than 3.3x10-3/K), high quility is obtained within limited portion of an ingot. By applying the new idea, however, high quility can be obtained over most part of an ingot. If you have interest in the enhancement of the yield of high quility ingots during the zone melting growth please send me an e-mail.
