    Abstract: A micro vacuum tube is described. The process for manufacturing it begins with the deposition of two layers of polysilicon or metal, separated by dielectric layers, topping them with a layer of silicon nitride, and forming these into the shape of a disk. A hole is etched in the silicon nitride and then lined with a spacer, causing the width of the hole to decrease from top to bottom. When the hole is partially filled with a sacrificial layer the latter has a depression at its center which may be used as a mold for a microtip. To allow for easy removal of the sacrificial layer, pole holes are etched in it. These become support poles after the microtip material has been deposited over the sacrificial layer (which gets removed in its entirety). As an alternative to a microtip, a micro razor edge may be used for the cold emitter. A cap deposited over the structure while it is in vacuo serves to keep it under permanent vacuum.

    Abstract: A mask read-only-memory cell structure without ROM code implantation is presented. By using double polysilicon technology, ROM code cells which store data "0" can be replaced by cells with double polysilicon layers and an insulating layer between them. Normal cells with double polysilicon layers but without an insulating layer between them form normal cells store data "1". According to the invention, further scaling of mask ROM is possible and operating condition can be released because of high junction breakdown voltage. Furthermore, the double polysilicon technology makes redundancy circuit more easily to implement.
