Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a microelectronic semiconductor device comprising the steps of: forming a trench in a body, the trench having side walls, a opening, and a bottom; forming a sacrificial layer in the trench; forming a recess in the sacrificial layer; forming a restriction structure between the sacrificial layer and the opening of the trench, defining a through hole for access to the sacrificial layer; completely removing the sacrificial layer through said through hole; and depositing a metal layer over the body, thus closing the opening of the trench and forming an electron-emission cathode tip.
Abstract:
The process is based upon the steps of: forming a trench in a body including a substrate and at least one insulating layer; and depositing a metal layer above the body for closing the open end or mouth of the trench. The trench is formed by selectively etching the body, wherein the reaction by-products deposit on the walls of the trench and form a passivation layer along the walls of the trench and a restriction element in proximity of the mouth of the trench.
