Abstract:
A ferroelectric emitter is described. The ferroelectric emitter of the present invention includes a ferroelectric layer having a first side, an opposing second side, and a top surface, a first and a second electrode formed along the top surface of the ferroelectric layer, and a mask layer which has a predetermined pattern and is formed along the top surface of the ferroelectric layer between the first and second electrodes. When used in ferroelectric switching emission lithography, the ferroelectric emitter of the present invention allows electron emission from a wide or narrow gap of a mask layer and from an isolated pattern such as a doughnut shape while facilitating re-poling in pyroelectric electron emission.
Abstract:
At the outer boundary of a discharge container 1, a pair of opposed electrodes 3a and 4a and a pair of opposed electrodes 3b and 4b are disposed with a specified spacing being given between them, and to each pair of opposed electrodes, a high-frequency voltage is applied from a high-frequency, high-voltage power supply 8 through a limiting resistor 6a, 7a, and a limiting resistor 6b, 7b. Across each pair of opposed electrodes, a steamer of discharge plasma corresponding to the amperage of the discharge current is generated, however, by adjusting the resistance value of the above-mentioned limiting resistor 6a, 7a, and the resistance value of the limiting resistor 6b, 7b, the discharge current is appropriately set, and thus the streamers of discharge plasma generated across the pairs of opposed electrodes are made uniform. Because the pair of opposed electrodes is disposed eccentrically with respect to the axis of the discharge container 1, a creeping discharge can be developed on the inside wall in the vicinity of the electrodes or over the entire path of discharge, resulting in the “fluctuation” of the streamer being suppressed.
Abstract:
An active matrix drive fluorescent display device capable of preventing misluminescence of phosphor layers. A semiconductor chip which includes a plurality of luminous dots arranged in a matrix-like manner and is arranged in an envelope is covered on a cut surface thereof rendered electrically GND with an insulating cover layer. Such construction eliminates a failure in insulation between electrodes arranged on the semiconductor chip, to thereby prevent misluminescence of the luminous dots, leading to an increase in display quality.
Abstract:
A sample table for use in a pattern exposure machine configured to transfer a circuit pattern formed in a mask onto a sample. The sample table is divided into a center part and a peripheral part surrounding the center part. The center part and the peripheral part include a chuck mechanism for attracting the sample, respectively. A portion or the whole of the peripheral part are movable in a radial direction of the sample table in a condition that the sample is attracted to the peripheral part of the sample table. Thus, the invention operates such that when the pattern on the sample has become smaller or larger than a mask pattern, the sample, such as a silicon substrate, is expanded or contracted for a shortened time to obtain a desired.
