摘要:
A field emission device (100) uses single crystals in order to eliminate grain boundaries within some or all of the electrodes (103, 104, and 205). The elimination of grain boundaries reduces susceptibility to damage, improves stability of the device (100), and improves uniformity and reproducibility among devices. In a preferred embodiment, the emitter and gate electrodes (103 and 104 respectively) are formed from a single crystal thin film (302). In other embodiments, other structures are employed wherein one or more of the electrodes (103, 104, and 205) are formed from single crystals.
摘要:
A baseplate for a flat panel display comprising relatively thick semiconductor substrate, wherein the semiconductor substrate is a macro-grain polycrystalline substrate, which is amorphized by ion implantation or reformed by recrystallization, to obscure the grain boundaries, thereafter redundant circuitry may be fabricated thereon to further enhance product yield.
摘要:
A method of forming an etch mask and patterning a substrate. The method includes directing a particle beam at a substrate without using a mask to deposit an etch mask on the substrate which selectively exposes predetermined portions of the substrate, the etch mask consisting of particles mechanically placed on the substrate by the particle beam, and then etching the exposed portions of the substrate through the etch mask to form channels therein. The process is well suited to fabricating high density copper/polyimide multi-chip modules.
