摘要： A mask and a method for forming a mask on a surface of an underlying layer of material used in semiconductor device manufacturing. The mask is a mixture of mask particles and spacer particles. The spacer particles space the mask particles apart from one another to control the distance and the uniformity of the distribution of mask particles across the surface of the underlying layer. The spacer particles and mask particles have different physical properties that allow the spacer particles to be selectively removed from the surface of the underlying layer. The spacer particles are preferably removed from the surface of the underlying layer by selectively etching the spacer particles from the underlying layer. After the spacer particles are removed from the underlying layer, the mask particles remain on the underlying layer to provide spaced apart mask elements on the surface of the underlying layer.

摘要： A method of manufacturing phosphor screens is disclosed. The method uses "sol-gel" for disposing a thin film of phosphor on a transparent substrate. The thin film of phosphor is applied in continuous form or in the form of an accurate dot pattern. The rastering of said dot pattern is performed either by screen printing before annealing the sol-gel, or by selective laser curing of a continuous thin film and washing off the non-cured portions. The phosphor screens are useful as monochrome or as full-color faceplates of field emission displays or cathode ray tubes.

摘要： Systems and methods for use with an optical communication beam are disclosed. The system allows the beam of light to operate at an adequate power level that provides a robust optical link while minimizing any safety risk to humans. The system calibrates and controls the gain for an avalanche photodiode detector (APD). A detector circuit is used to calibrate the APD. Once calibrated, the detector circuit further provides an electrical bias to the APD to process or condition the electrical signal to produce a detector output. The systems and methods disclosed herein attenuate the power level of an incoming communication beam to prevent oversaturation of an APD. The system further provides an alignment signal, which is effective over a wide dynamic range of incoming power levels.

摘要： A process for fabricating a flat panel display having a faceplate and a baseplate comprises creating an electric field between the faceplate and the baseplate to temporarily attract the faceplate to the baseplate and attaching the baseplate and faceplate to each other while the electric field is present. Capacitor(s) are formed on the faceplate and/or baseplate of a flat panel display such that a portion of the capacitor(s) is formed on the faceplate and is aligned with the pixel matrix and/or a portion of the capacitor(s) is formed on the baseplate and is aligned with the cathode member. The first and second portions of the capacitor(s) are energized to opposite polarity voltages, and an electric field is generated which attracts and aligns the two portions of the capacitor(s) to each other. When the two portions of the capacitor(s) are aligned and attracted to each other, the pixel matrix and cathode assembly are inherently aligned with each other. Once the faceplate and the baseplate are attached to each other, the capacitor(s) are de-energized and the electric field is dissipated.

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.

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 removing a surface protrusion projecting from a layer of a first material deposited on a surface of a substrate. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a layer of a second material is applied on the layer of first material. A sufficient quantity of the second material is removed to expose the surface protrusion. The first material exposed through the surface protrusion is then removed.
