    摘要: A preferred embodiment of this invention comprises a thin unreactive film (e.g. platinum 36) contacting a high-dielectric-constant material (e.g. barium strontium titanate 38) to an electrode. The thin unreactive film provides a stable conductive interface between the high-dielectric-constant material layer and the electrode base (e.g palladium 34). As opposed to a standard thin-film layer, the thin unreactive film is generally less than 50 nm thick, preferably less than 35 nm thick, more preferably between 5 nm and 25 nm thick, and most preferably between 10 nm and 20 nm thick. A thin unreactive film can benefit from the advantages of the materials used while avoiding or minimizing many of their disadvantages. A thin unreactive film would generally be substantially less expensive than a standard thin-film layer since much less material can be used while not significantly affecting the surface area of the electrode in contact with the HDC material. These structures may also be used for multilayer capacitors and other thin-film ferroelectric devices such as pyroelectric materials, non-volatile memories, thin-film piezoelectric and thin-film electro-optic oxides.

    摘要: An anode plate 50 for use in a field emission flat panel display device comprises a transparent planar substrate 58 having a plurality of electrically conductive, parallel stripes 52 comprising the anode electrode of the device, which are covered by phosphors 54.sub.R, 54.sub.G and 54.sub.B. A substantially opaque, electrically insulating material 56 is affixed to substrate 58 in the spaces between conductors 52, acting as a barrier to the passage of ambient light into and out of the device. The electrical insulating quality of opaque material 56 increases the electrical isolation of conductive stripes 52 from one another, reducing the risk of breakdown due to increased leakage current. Opaque material 56 preferably comprises glass having impurities dispersed therein, wherein the impurities may include one or more organic dyes, selected to provide relatively uniform opacity over the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Alternatively, the impurities may include the black oxide of a transition metal such as cobalt. Opaque material 56 is formed by mixing a TEOS solution with a dye or a source of metallic ions, spinning or spreading the mixture on glass substrate 58, and curing the mixture to drive out the organics and solvents. Two methods of fabricating anode plate 50 are disclosed.

    摘要: A preferred embodiment of this invention comprises an oxidizable layer (e.g. tantalum 48), an oxygen gettering layer (e.g. platinum/tantalum mixture 34) overlaying the oxidizable layer, a noble metal layer (e.g. platinum 36) overlaying the oxygen gettering layer, and a high-dielectric-constant material layer (e.g. barium strontium titanate 38) overlaying the noble metal layer. The novel structures presented provide electrical connection to high-dielectric-constant materials without the disadvantages of current structures. The oxygen gettering layer controls oxygen diffusion, minimizing the formation of a resistive layer either in the lower electrode or at the lower electrode/substrate interface. The oxygen gettering layer acts as a gettering site for oxygen, where the oxygen oxidizes the reactive metal portion of the layer, leaving the noble metal portion of the layer intact. While the oxides/suboxides (e.g. tantalum pentoxide 40) that are formed are resistive, they are dispersed within the noble metal matrix, leaving a conductive path from the top of the layer to the bottom. This invention provides a stable and electrically conductive electrode for high-dielectric-constant materials while using standard integrated circuit materials to facilitate and economize the manufacturing process.
