Abstract: A method of forming emitter tips for use in a field emission array is described. 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 including fluorine and chlorine gasses. 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 translation: 描述了形成用于场发射阵列的发射极尖端的方法。 尖端通过利用在干蚀刻锐化步骤期间形成的聚合物残余物形成，以将掩模帽保持在发射器尖端上的适当位置。 当尖端被过蚀刻时，残余聚合物继续支撑掩模帽，使得尖端能够被锐利地蚀刻而不会损失它们的形状和锐度。 干蚀刻使用包括氟和氯气体的蚀刻剂。 通过在去离子水或缓冲氧化物蚀刻的洗涤中洗涤晶片，蚀刻后容易除去掩模盖和残余聚合物。

Abstract: A field emitter (10) having improved electron emission properties is provided. Electron-emitting microtip protrusions (14) in an emitter layer (12) are separated from a dielectric layer (18) by an interlayer (16) that prevents substantial mixing of the dielectric (16) and the emitter layer (12) during growth of the dielectric layer (18). A conductive gate electrode layer (20) is deposited on the dielectric layer (18). For carbon-based emitters, aluminum is one of several suitable interlayers between the carbon layer and a silicon dioxide dielectric layer.

Abstract: An electron emitting device includes at least an electron transporting member (1), an electron emitting member (3), and an electric field concentration region (2) formed between the electron transporting member (1) and the electron emitting member (3). For example, the electron transporting member (1) may be a conductive layer, the electric field concentration region (2) may be formed of an insulating layer formed on the conductive layer, and the electron emitting member (3) may be formed of particles provided on the insulating layer. Due to the electric field concentration in the electric field concentration region (2), electrons are easily injected from the electron transporting member (1) to the electron emitting member (3).

Abstract: The present invention provides a DBD lamp used in fluid treatment systems, where the irradiated fluid is used as a low voltage outer electrode instead of a metallic wire mesh. This fluid is in direct contact with the lamp envelope which acts as a two-fold advantage. First, the fluid acts as a strong built-in cooling source. This allows the lamp to be driven at high voltage without forced cooling. Second, the replacement of the wire mesh as the outer electrode by fluid as well as the sleeve eliminates the absorption of radiation from the outer surface of the DBD-driven light source which more than doubles the efficiency of the DBD-driven light source. The inner high voltage electrode remains in the center of the coaxial tube assembly and provides high voltage across the gas to generate excimer formation.

Abstract: A field-emission-display (FED) having a pixel structure which operates at small anode voltages, and thus, provides the FED with an increased life-time. The pixel structure of the FED includes an edge emitting cathode and an anode spaced from the cathode. The cathode has a first conductive film with a low electron affinity, such as alpha-carbon and a second conductive film disposed on the first conductive film. The first conductive film has an edge which is operative for emitting an electron beam. The anode has a third conductive film and a layer of light emitting material disposed over the third conductive film. Both the cathode and the anode are fabricated on a single glass substrate, which provides simple and reliable mass production technology compatible with planar silicon batch fabrication technology.

Abstract: A plurality of field emission device cathodes each generate emission of electrons, which are then controlled and focused using various electrodes to produce an electron beam. Horizontal and vertical deflection techniques, similar to those used within a cathode ray tube, operate to scan the individual electron beams onto portions of a phosphor screen in order to generate images. The use of the plurality of field emission cathodes provides for a flatter screen depth than possible with a typical cathode ray tube.
