    摘要: A dual dielectric structure is employed in the fabrication of thin film field effect transistors in a matrix addressed liquid display to provide improved transistor device characteristics and also to provide both electrical and chemical isolation for material employed in the gate metallization layer. In particular, the use of a layer of silicon oxide over the gate metallization layer is not only consistent with providing the desired electrical and chemical isolation, but also with providing redundant gate metallization material to be employed beneath source or data lines for electrical circuit redundancy. Gate line redundancy is also possible. The electrical and chemical isolation provided by the dual dielectric layer reduces the possibilities of short circuits occurring in the display. The absence of short circuits together with the improved redundancy characteristics significantly increase manufacturing yield. As display sizes increase, the yield problem becomes more and more significant, generally growing as the square of the diagonal measurement of the screen. The structure in the present invention also significantly reduces gate leakage current. In the process and structure of the present invention, gate electrode material is separated from semiconductor material by the aforementioned dual dielectric, typically comprising layers of silicon oxide disposed beneath a layer of silicon nitride which is, in turn, disposed beneath the active amorphous silicon semiconductor material.

    摘要: A process for the fabrication of thin film field effect transistors in active matrix liquid crystal display devices includes the utilization of a protective, conductive tab disposed on a corner portion of the pixel electrodes. Electrical contact is made to the pixel electrodes not directly, but rather through a via opening in protective, insulative and amorphous silicon layers. The structure is particularly advantageous in that it permits the utilization of a wider range of gate and upper level metallization materials, particularly aluminum, whose etchants are otherwise found deleterious to pixel electrode material such as indium tin oxide. The structure of the present invention is seen to be readily fabricatable in accordance with high yield fabrication procedures.

    摘要: Binary information is stored in a semiconductor archival memory medium by formation of a region of an alloy, of the semiconductor material and a non-doping material, at each of a plurality of potential memory sites at which a first binary value of information is to be stored, with the remaining data sites being devoid of the alloyed region to store the remaining value of binary data. Methods for writing the formation of the alloyed region, and reading the information value stored at each memory site, are also disclosed.

    摘要: Electron optics apparatus, for use in electron-beam lithography, electron-beam-addressable memory tubes and the like, utilizes a tri-potential collimating condenser lens and a multi-element matrix lens of the "flys eye" type with coarse deflection elements positioned therebetween to deflect the collimated electron beam from the condenser lens to the appropriate aperture in the matrix of lenslets. The condenser lens electrode and matrix lens electrode closest to one another, as well as the coarse deflection electrodes therebetween, are substantially the only elements in the apparatus which float at a relatively high electrical potential, thereby simplifying the requirements of peripheral circuitry while retaining the advantages of the "flys eye" matrix lens.
