Abstract: A method of forming emitter tips for use in a field emission array is disclosed. The tips are formed by utilizing a polymer residue that forms during the dry etch sharpening step to hold the mask caps in place on the emitter tips. The residue polymer continues to support the mask caps as the tips are over-etched, enabling the tips to be etched past sharp without losing their shape and sharpness. The dry etch utilizes an etchant comprised of fluorine and chlorine gases. The mask caps and residue polymer are easily removed after etching by washing the wafers in a wash of deionized water, or Buffered Oxide Etch.

Abstract: An improved process for fabricating nanotube field emitter structures is provided, in which the nanotubes protrude from a supporting base material to improve emission properties. The resulting emitter structure are useful in a variety of devices, including microwave vacuum tube devices and flat-panel, field-emission displays. To attain the protruding nanotube emitter structure, according to one embodiment of the invention, nanotubes and metal particles are mixed and consolidated into a compact, and the compact is then sectioned to expose a substantial number of nanotube ends. A layer of the metal is selectively etched from the sectioned surface, leaving the exposed nanotubes protruding from the surface. The extent of protrusion is at least twice the average diameter of the nanotubes, advantageously at least ten times the average diameter of the nanotubes.

Abstract: A process for forming an etch mask having a discontinuous regular pattern utilizes beads, each of which has a substantially unetchable core covered by a removable spacer coating. Beads which have a core and a spacer coating are dispensed as a hexagonally packed mono-layer onto a thermo-adhesive layer, which is on a target layer. The beads are kept in place by a bead confinement wall. Following a vibrational step which facilitates hexagonal packing of the beads, the resultant assembly is heated so that the beads adhere to the adhesive layer. Excess beads are then discarded. Spacer shell material is then removed from each of the beads, leaving core etch masks. The core-masked target layer is then plasma etched to form a column of target material directly beneath each core. The cores and any spacer material underneath the cores are removed. The resulting circular island of target material may be used as an etch mask during wet isotropic etching of an underlying layer.
