摘要: The cavity 102 defines an empty volume formed in the insulator 108 has its walls defined by the insulator 108 and may extend through either (or both) the first electrode 106 or the second electrode 104, in which case the first electrode and/or second electrode also define the walls of the cavity 102. The cavity 102 is preferably cylindrical and has a diameter of 0.1 μm-1 mm. More preferably, the diameter ranges from 0.1 μm-500 μm, 1 μm-100 μm, or 100 μm-500 μm. The cavity 102 will be filled with a gas that contacts the cavity walls, fills the entire cavity 102 and is selected for its breakdown voltage or light emission properties at breakdown. Light is produced when the voltage difference between the first electrode 106 and the second electrode 104 creates an electric field sufficiently large to electrically break down the gas (nominally about 104 V-cm). This light escapes from the microcavity 102 through at least one end of the cavity 102.

摘要: Preferred embodiment flexible and on wafer hybrid plasma semiconductor devices have at least one active solid state semiconductor region; and a plasma generated in proximity to the active solid state semiconductor region(s). Doped solid state semiconductor regions are in a thin flexible solid state substrate, and a flexible non conducting material defining a microcavity adjacent the semiconductor regions. The flexible non conducting material is bonded to the thin flexible solid state substrate, and at least one electrode is arranged with respect to said flexible substrate to generate a plasma in said microcavity, where the plasma will influence or perform a semiconducting function in cooperation with said solid state semiconductor regions. A preferred on-wafer device is formed on a single side of a silicon on insulator wafer and defines the collector (plasma cavity), emitter and base regions on a common side, which provides a simplified and easy to manufacture structure. A preferred embodiment array of flexible hybrid plasma transistors of the invention is an n+pn PBJT fabricated between two flexible sheets. One or both of the flexible sheets is transparent. The overall array structure is planar, and the planarized structure is sealed between the two flexible sheets. Visible or ultraviolet light is emitted during operation by plasma collectors in the array. In preferred embodiments, individual PBJTs in the array serve as sub-pixels of a full-color display.
