A research group of five scholars and teachers from National College, Trichy has recently obtained a patent from the government of India for a unique invention in cuprous oxide (Cu2O) thin film.

The Patent Protection has been granted to secure the invention that has been titled as ‘Morphology, bandgap, and grain size tailoring in Cu2O thin film prepared by modified chemical bath decomposition technique.’ The research group that has been awarded patent by the government comprises A T Ravichandran, Dhanabalan, Srinivas Mantha, Vasuhi, and Chandramohan. The thin film created in this new invention is a layer of materials ranging from fractions of a nanometer to many micrometers in thickness. As per the inventors, i.e., the five group members, these thin films possess a wide range of applications in solar cells, protective coatings, sensors, and more.

A T Ravichandran along with his team members said that obtaining patents for thin films is quite rare, especially when their invention involves chemical methods. Nevertheless, they managed to get the patent rights for successful and efficient reproducibility for its properties.

He further added that the team has plans to upcome with a startup through which they supply such thin films in the future to the industries that need them. He continued by saying that there are nearly ten thousand people who are involved in carrying out researches in the same area and getting a patent for their invention is indeed a great achievement for the entire team.

Mr. Ravichandran also explained that the controlled synthesis of materials as thin films, referred to as the deposition process, is a fundamental step in several applications. One of the most common examples of this is the household mirror that generally holds a thin metal coating on the backside of a sheet of glass to form a reflective interface.

It is predicted that this move by the Indian government would encourage the students as well as teachers to actively participate in such types of researches and thus, come up with more and more inventions in the future. Besides benefitting the researchers by enhancing their skills, the department’s move to grant patents for useful inventions will be beneficial for all, including the nation’s economy, citizens, Patent Attorneys, and more.
