    摘要: A field emission device is disclosed having a buffer layer positioned between an underlying cathode conductive layer and an overlying resistor layer. The buffer layer consists of substantially undoped amorphous silicon. Any pinhole defects or discontinuities that extend through the resistor layer terminate at the buffer layer, thereby preventing the problems otherwise caused by pinhole defects. In particular, the buffer layer prevents breakdown of the resistor layer, thereby reducing the possibility of short circuiting. The buffer layer further reduces the risk of delamination of various layers or other irregularities arising from subsequent processing steps. Also disclosed are methods of making and using the field emission device having the buffer layer.

    摘要: A method for forming an etch mask is described. In particular, an etch mask is formed using masking particles positionally restrained by a matrix medium. Either the masking particles or the matrix medium is more magnetically conductive with respect to the other. A magnetic field is applied for making a random distribution of the masking particles less random. Consequently, agglomeration of the masking particles is reduced. Masking particles with submicron dimensions may be used for providing features of less than a micron. The mask formed may be an etch mask employed in forming a field emitter tip for a field emission display.

    摘要: A method for forming semiconductor devices without utilizing high temperature processing involves forming a surface porous silicon layer. The surface porous silicon layer may be removed by selective etching or it may be oxidized and then removed by selective etching. In the case of a field emission display, the porous silicon formation process is sufficiently controllable that uniform emitters may be formed. Moreover, by maintaining the structure at a temperature below the temperature at which substantial diffusion of alkaline constituents occurs, soda-lime glass may be used as a substrate for making semiconductor devices.
