Manufacture of controlled field emitter for flat display screen, TV etc. - using successive etching and deposition stages to form cone shaped emitter peak set in insulating matrix together with electrodes

A controlled field emitter of micrometre dimensions is formed from a matrix of isolating material (1) which initially has a latent particle track on the centreline. In a first stage, a cone shaped aperture is etched on the underside and this filled (6) by deposition of metallic material to form the...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:A controlled field emitter of micrometre dimensions is formed from a matrix of isolating material (1) which initially has a latent particle track on the centreline. In a first stage, a cone shaped aperture is etched on the underside and this filled (6) by deposition of metallic material to form the emitter tip. A cone shaped aperture is etched on the topside and a metal layer deposited with a circular opening. The layer acts a control electrode for the device. This is covered by an anode layer (12). ADVANTAGE - Structuring mask is no longer required.
