Description

Lateral-emitter field-emission device and manufacture method thereof that simplified anode is arranged
The present invention relates generally to integrated emission microelectronics, be applicable to that particularly Field Emission Display has the simplification preparation method of transverse field ballistic device and this microelectronic component of simplified anode structure.
Because the low cost of manufacture of Field Emission Display, technology is simple, and is low in energy consumption, the brightness height, and can improve the scope at visual angle, so it is fine to be considered to development prospect, be the fine substitute of LCD.The more general substitute as semiconductor device of microelectronics feds also has a lot of application, as high-performance with can prepare from material widely but the purity of material is not needed strict control, but used similar in its preparation technology and equipment and the semiconductor fabrication.Heinz H.Busta had delivered the general survey article about microelectronic vacuum that is entitled as " VacuumMicroelectro-nics-1992 " on second volume second phase (in June, 1992) of " Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineer-ing " in 1992.Katherine Derbyshire the 55-65 page or leaf of " Solid State Technology " the 37th volume 11 phases (in November, 1994) article " BeyondAMLCDs:Field Emission Displays? " in, summarized the manufacture method and the operation principle of some good designs of feds, and its some application in flat-panel monitor have been discussed.A lot of textbooks and monograph are arranged, and as the 4th chapter of " electronics of solid and emission of ions " (DoverPublications, Inc., New York, NY, 1965) of R.O.Jenkins and W.G.Trodden, it is theoretical from the awkward silence at a meeting emission of metal that electronics has been discussed.
Term emitter and negative electrode can exchange in this manual, all refer to field-transmitting cathode.Here used term " the control utmost point " be meant with vacuum triode in control grid functionally similar electrode.In the feds of prior art, kind electrode also is called as " grid ".Here used ohmic contact is represented non-rectified current contact.Used fluorescent material is meant the material of cathodoluminescence in the specification.When explanation fluorescent material, use conventional method for expressing here, promptly at first provide the chemical formula of main or basic compound, it then is colon, the chemical formula of activator (activation host crystal luminous impurity) besides, as ZnS:Mn, wherein zinc sulphide is host crystal and manganese is activator.
In order to develop its speed-sensitive switch, to the insensitivity of variations in temperature and radiation, advantages such as low-power consumption have been developed various microelectronic component, and these devices use the field emission of cold cathode emitter emitting electrons.In prior art, the emitter of most microelectronics feds vertically points to substrate, deviates from substrate usually, but launches towards substrate sometimes.This class device has: as the United States Patent (USP) 3,789,471 of Spindt etc., the United States Patent (USP) 4,721 of Brodie, 885, people's such as Pribat United States Patent (USP) 5,127,990, the United States Patent (USP) 5 of Zimmerman, 141,459 and 5,203,731, and the article of above-mentioned Derbyshire.In these structures, anode normally is parallel to the transparent plate of substrate and has fluorescent material, and fluorescent material produces display light output by cathodoluminescence.The field emitter of some cold cathode microelectronic component is orientated in being basically parallel to the plane of substrate, as people's such as the United States Patent (USP) 4728851 of Lambe, Lee United States Patent (USP) 4,827,177, people's such as Cronin United States Patent (USP) 5,233,263 and 5,308,439.Here use term " transverse field emission " and " laterally negative electrode " or " lateral-emitter " in two patents of people such as Cronin, represent and launch point or the limit is the structure of substantially parallel substrate direction at horizontal direction.In this horizontal cathode construction of prior art, anode is basically perpendicular to substrate and emitter (as people's such as Cronin United States Patent (USP) 5,233,263 and 5,308,439) orientation, or with the emitter coplane (as people's such as Lee United States Patent (USP) 4,827,177), or need transparent substrate (as the United States Patent (USP) 4,728,851 of Lambe).Have been found that in the device with horizontal cathode construction, its structure and manufacturing process have obvious advantage,, can accurately control the size of inner element, aim at electric capacity and required bias voltage as cathode edge or sharp meticulous.
But when the transverse field ballistic device being used for covering the display unit of anode of fluorescent material, a lot of problems are arranged.In some existing structures, cathodoluminescence only takes place in the very narrow and small zone of the anode edge of facing lateral-emitter.In addition, dim out owing to the cause of opaque electrode or by fluorescent material itself or planar be absorbed from the light of fluorescent material emission.In some existing structures, must use very high anode voltage.To the Low-voltage Electronic field emission display (as with respect to the emitter anode potential less than about 10 volts), electronics reality only penetrates the fluorescent material of 1nm magnitude.Therefore, in the display with existing horizontal electronics feds display element, the light emission that cathodoluminescence causes produces along the edge of the fluorescent material of facing the emitter element.And, wait other electronic field emission displays as Spindt type (in people's such as Spindt the patent and illustrate in the review article of H.H.Busta), luminous at reciprocal phosphor surface usually in the face of the observer.
Here Shuo Ming device architecture has the horizontal electron emitter that places certain distance on the phosphor anode.When adding suitable bias voltage, electrons emitted is launched at the upper surface of fluorescent material, and compares with other horizontal electronics feds display elements, can be at impact fluroescence powder element on the large tracts of land more.Therefore, use this new construction, light is directly launched to the observer, and can be to existing structure like that owing to do not die down by fluorescent material.And, compare with existing structure, more producing light on the big unit area.In the existing explanation of lateral-emitter field emission display, do not have to show that fluorescent material how to give this anode component provides the bias voltage contact.Here Shuo Ming new construction has and places the metal anode contact of (burying) under the fluorescent material, and being connected to the device of burying contact from the surface is used to provide bias voltage in addition.
This emitted transverse type structure is when having above-mentioned obvious advantage, owing to adopt relative wide variety of materials and processing step, so these can accurately control some costliness in the lateral-emitter field-emission device structure manufacturing of inner member size and aligning.These processing steps comprise that the conformal layer with expendable material forms the required step of wall that limits some size.Required some materials and processing step during the present invention has omitted and made shortened manufacturing time thus, reduced cost, the simplified anode structure also is provided, and kept the advantage of horizontal cathode construction simultaneously and designed the automatic aligning of horizontal negative electrode.This simple structure and the preparation method is to the fieldtron that the fluorescent material anode is arranged that is used for display element with there is not the fieldtron of fluorescent material effective simply, cheaply.Therefore the invention solves the problem of prior art.
A free-revving engine of the present invention provides a kind of display, utilizes the light emission of each display unit improved.Corresponding purpose provides the feds structure that is specially adapted to display unit.Another corresponding purpose provides the more direct Field Emission Display towards the display observer of light that makes from the fluorescent material emission.Also a corresponding purpose provides and has emitted transverse type device and compare the long-pending more most field emission display cell structure that accounts for cellar area of light emitting surface.Another object of the present invention provides a kind of metallization structure, and other characteristic and the advantage of improved emitted transverse field emission display are achieved.Particularly do not make the anode electric contact structure of any part deepening of the phosphor surface of display unit.A corresponding purpose provides the anode contact, and it plays the minute surface effect that emission light is reflexed to the display observer.Another purpose provides can provide the display unit anode construction that improves performance, and the coulomb that reduces or eliminates fluorescent material thus is aging.Another special purpose provides display unit, and this display unit is by making the control electrode structure with a single metal step, thereby obtains simplifying.Basic goal of the present invention provides the display that has improved, and it still keeps all known advantage of emitted transverse feds: as meticulous cathode edge or point; Negative electrode and anode spacing from accurate control (to reduce the deviation between operating voltage and device and device), negative electrode with control pole span from accurate control (with control cathode with control the utmost point overlapping, thereby electrode capacitance in the control makes required bias voltage obtain more accurate control); The control utmost point and cathode construction automatic aimed at, the autoregistration of anode construction and the control utmost point and negative electrode; And the layout density of having improved.Another object of the present invention is the existing advantage that keeps lateral-emitter field-emission device, this design flexibility for integrated morphology is extremely important, this integrated morphology can reduce the interconnected number between device, can reduce cost and improve the reliability and the performance of device thus.Another free-revving engine of the present invention provides the technology of using existing microelectronic manufacturing technology and device, makes integrated lateral-emitter field emission display cellular construction, its rate height that manufactures a finished product, and the size and the aligning of the accurate control device of energy, good reproducibility.Main purpose of the present invention is the simplified anode structure of transverse field ballistic device.Another main purpose of the present invention provides preparation technology, and this technology has been omitted some required masks in the preparation of autoregistration transverse field ballistic device, can shorten preparation time thus, reduce preparation cost.
In a scheme of the present invention, usefulness is basically parallel to the lateral-emitter of substrate and the anode construction of simplification prepares feds.Lateral-emitter field-emission device has the film emitting cathode, and its thickness is no more than the hundreds of dust, and emission tooth shape limit or point have a little radius of curvature.The anode device of having simplified can also have one or more control utmost points.The plane of anode upper surface and lateral-emitter accurately separates, and when adding suitable bias voltage, it receives the limit or the sharp institute electrons emitted of emitted transverse negative electrode.These devices can constitute diode or the triode of one or more control utmost points, tetrode etc. are arranged, and can control the electric current of emitter to anode when the control utmost point is positioned to add the signal of telecommunication to them.In concrete simple embodiment of the present invention, the individual signals control utmost point places on the plane of transmitting side or point or down, and aims at automatically with this limit.Device after the simplification is particularly suitable for arrayed applications, comprises the Field Emission Display array.
