摘要： An apparatus for switching microwave signals includes a plurality of input lines, a plurality of output lines; and a plurality of thyristors. Each thyristor has a lower conducting surface that is electrically connected to one of the input lines and an upper conducting surface that is electrically connected to one of the output lines. A selected thyristor transmits a microwave signal between a selected input line and a selected output line in an ON state and blocks the microwave signal between the selected input line and the selected output line in an OFF state.

摘要： An electron emitter plate (110) for an FED image display has an extraction (gate) electrode (22) spaced by an insulating spacer (125) from a cathode electrode including a conductive mesh (18). Arrays of microtips (14) are located in mesh spacings (16), within apertures (26) formed in extraction electrode (22) and subcavities (141) formed through apertures (26) in insulating spacer (125). Subcavities (141a) are open to row-adjacent and column-adjacent subcavities (141b, 141c) to form larger main cavities (144). Posts (143) of insulating spacer (125) separate diagonally-adjacent cavities (141d). Subcavities (141) are formed by over-etching a layer of insulating spacer material (25) through apertures (26) before or after forming microtips (14) through the same apertures (26). Over-etching reduces the dielectric constant factor of gate-to-cathode capacitance in the finished structure.

摘要： A porous dielectric material such as silica-based aerogel is used as the dielectric layer 48 between the gate and the cathode on the emitter plate 12 of a field emission device. Aerogel, which can have a relative dielectric constant as low as 1.03, is deposited over the resistive layer 44 of the emitter plate 12. Metal layer 49, functioning as the gate electrode, is subsequently deposited over the aerogel layer 48. The use of aerogel as a gate dielectric reduces power consumption. In a disclosed embodiment, aerogel layer 48 is comprised of sublayers 48a, 48b, and 48c of aerogels of differing densities, thereby providing better adhesion of the aerogel gate dielectric to both the resistive layer 44 and metal layer 49. Methods of fabricating the aerogel gate dielectric are disclosed.

摘要： An improved method of affixing spheres 4 to a conductive foil sheet 28 is described herein. A cell matrix is provided. The cell matrix includes a conductive foil matrix 2 with spheres 4 mounted therein. Each of the spheres 4 has an insulating layer 20 disposed on it. A portion of this insulating layer 20 is removed from each of the spheres 4 to expose a portion 22 of the spheres 4. A cell sandwich 32 is then formed between an upper pressure pad 34 and a lower pressure pad 36. The cell sandwich 32 includes the cell matrix 2/4 and a conductive foil 28. The cell sandwich 32 is then heated (preferably to between about 350.degree. and 450.degree. C.). The spheres 4 are then affixed to the conductive foil 28 by compressing the cell sandwich 32. In one embodiment, the compression takes place in a roll press 48.

摘要： A thyristor for switching microwave signals includes semiconductor layers disposed on a substrate. A first surface of the thyristor defines an anode, and a second surface of the thyristor defines a cathode. The semiconductor layers include at least one semi-insulating layer. The thyristor transmits a microwave signal between the anode and the cathode in an ON state and blocks the microwave signal between the anode and the cathode in an OFF state.

摘要： The disclosure relates to a method of sealing the surface of an aluminum member, such as an aluminum foil, from the environment by first placing the foil in an H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 bath to form an oxide which normally will not provide a total seal of the aluminum from the environment and then placing the aluminum member with oxide thereon in an H.sub.3 PO.sub.4 bath to close the pores in the oxide layer and provide sealing of the aluminum from the environment. This process also passivates the silicon.
