    Abstract: A semiconductor device for use in field emission displays includes a substrate formed from a semiconductor material, glass, soda lime, or plastic. A first layer of a conductive material is formed on the substrate. A second layer of microcrystalline silicon is formed on the first layer. This layer has characteristics that do not fluctuate in response to conditions that vary during the operation of the field emission display, particularly the varying light intensity from the emitted electrons or from the ambient. One or more cold-cathode emitters are formed on the second layer.

    Abstract: The invention includes field emitters, field emission displays (FEDs), monitors, computer systems and methods employing the same for providing uniform electron beams from cathodes of FED devices. The apparatuses each include electron beam uniformity circuitry. The electron beam uniformity circuit provides a grid voltage, VGrid, with a DC offset voltage sufficient to induce field emission from a cathode and a periodic signal superimposed on the DC offset voltage for varying the grid voltage at a frequency fast enough to be undetectable by the human eye. The cathodes may be of the micro-tipped or flat variety. The periodic signal may be sinusoidal with peak-to-peak voltage of between about 5 volts and about 50 volts.

    Abstract: A field emitter cell includes a thin film edge emitter normal to a gate layer. The field emitter is a multilayer structure including a low work function material sandwiched between two protective layers. The field emitter may be fabricated from a composite starting structure including a conductive substrate layer, an insulation layer, a standoff layer and a gate layer, with a perforation extending from the gate layer into the substrate layer. The emitter material is conformally deposited by chemical beam deposition along the sidewalls of the perforation. Alternatively, the starting material may be a conductive substrate having a protrusion thereon. The emitter layer, standoff layer, insulation layer, and gate layer are sequentially deposited, and the unwanted portions of each are preferentially removed to provide the desired structure.

    Abstract: A field emission display in which field emission devices are applied to a flat panel display. A field emission display with diode-type field emitters includes an upper plate and a lower plate, the upper plate and the lower plate are vacuum-packaged in parallel. The lower plate includes a plurality of column signal buses and a plurality of row signal buses, film type field emitters, and switching devices. The column signal buses and the row signal buses are made of metallic material. Pixels are defined by the column signal buses and the row signal buses. A film type field emitter and a switching device are formed inside each pixel. The switching device controls the field emitter on the basis of scan signals and data signals. The scan signals and data signals are loaded to the switching devices through the column signal buses and the row signal buses. The switching device includes at least three electrodes for connection with the column signal bus, the row signal bus, and the field emitter.

    Abstract: Titanium aluminum nitrogen (“Ti—Al—N”) is deposited onto a semiconductor substrate area to serve as an antireflective coating. For wiring line fabrication processes, the Ti—Al—N layer serves as a cap layer which prevents unwanted reflection of photolithography light (i.e., photons) during fabrication. For field emission display devices (FEDs), the Ti—Al—N layer prevents light originating at the display screen anode from penetrating transistor junctions that would hinder device operation. For the wiring line embodiment, an aluminum conductive layer and a titanium-aluminum underlayer are formed beneath the antireflective cap layer. The Ti—Al underlayer reduces the shrinkage which occurs in the aluminum conductive layer during heat treatment.
