    摘要: An electroluminescence (EL) device and a method are provided for fabricating said device with a nanotip electrode. The method comprises: forming a bottom electrode with nanotips; forming a Si phosphor layer adjacent the nanotips; and, forming a transparent top electrode. The Si phosphor layer is interposed between the bottom and top electrodes. The nanotips may have a tip base size of about 50 nanometers, or less, a tip height in the range of 5 to 50 nm, and a nanotip density of greater than 100 nanotips per square micrometer. Typically, the nanotips are formed from iridium oxide (IrOx) nanotips. A MOCVD process forms the Ir bottom electrode. The IrOx nanotips are grown from the Ir. In one aspect, the Si phosphor layer is a SRSO layer. In response to an SRSO annealing step, nanocrystalline SRSO is formed with nanocrystals having a size in the range of 1 to 10 nm.

The method includes: forming a substrate such as Silicon (Si) or glass; growing nanowires; depositing an insulator layer overlying the nanowires; etching to expose tips of the nanowires; forming a patterned metal electrode, with edges, overlying the tips of the nanowires; and, etching to expose the nanowires underlying the electrode edges. The nanowires can be a material such as IrO2, TiO2, InO, ZnO, SnO2, Sb2O3, or In2O3, to mane just a few examples. The insulator layer can be a spin-on glass (SOG) or low-k dielectric. In one aspect, the resultant structure includes exposed nanowires grown from the doped substrate regions and an insulator core with embedded nanowires. In a different aspect, the method forms a growth promotion layer overlying the substrate. The resultant structure includes exposed nanowires grown from the selectively formed growth promotion layer.

    摘要: A method is provided for patterning iridium oxide (IrOx) nanostructures. The method comprises: forming a substrate first region adjacent a second region; growing IrOx nanostructures from a continuous IrOx film overlying the first region; simultaneously growing IrOx nanostructures from a non-continuous IrOx film overlying the second region; selectively etching areas of the second region exposed by the non-continuous IrOx film; and, lifting off the IrOx nanostructures overlying the second region. Typically, the first region is formed from a first material and the second region from a second material, different than the first material. For example, the first material can be a refractory metal, or refractory metal oxide. The second material can be SiOx. The step of selectively etching areas of the second region exposed by the non-continuous IrOx film includes exposing the substrate to an etchant that is more reactive with the second material than the IrOx.
