Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Diode devices with superior and pre-settable characteristics and of nanometric dimensions, comprise etched insulative lines (8 16, 18) in a conductive , substrate to define between the lines charge carrier flow paths formed as , elongate channels (20) at least 100 nm long and less than 100 nm wide. The current-voltage characteristic of the diode devices are similar to a conventional diode, but both the threshold voltage (from 0V to a few volts) and the current level (from nA to µA) can be tuned by orders of magnitude by changing the device geometry. Standard silicon wafers can be used as substrates. A full family of logic gates such as OR, AND, and NOT, can be , constructed based on …

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 18, 2002 and granted December 17, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 18, 2022.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 18, 2024.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
