Abstract
This invention is concerned with the making of an electrode assembly which comprises forming partial slots in the bottom surface of a glass plate, providing anode electrodes in the slots, applying cathode electrodes on the top surface of the plate oriented transversely to the anodes, etching out the remainder of the plate material to form through-slots extending between the top and bottom surfaces of the plate, the anodes and cathodes being in operative relation with each other through the slots.
Description
- There are many types of electronic devices, such as dot matrix display panels, which include two sets of electrodes spaced apart in operative relation with each other. In one device of this type, the electrodes are separated by a slotted plate of electrical insulating material which is difficult to make and align with the associated electrodes. In other types of devices, the structures composed of insulating materials for supporting the electrodes are relatively complex and include grooved plates or holes which are also expensive and difficult to make. In general, the supporting structures utilized in electronic devices have been fabricated from glasses, glass-ceramics, ceramics, or organic plastic materials.
- Organic plastics have several advantages when being considered for such devices since they are relatively inexpensive, they can be manufactured and drilled, punched, machined, or otherwise shaped into complex geometries with reasonable ease, and they have sufficient mechanical strength for most applications. However, organic plastics cannot be used in vacuum- sealed devices.
- Sintered ceramic materials, e.g., aluminum oxide, have been proposed as supports in electronic devices. Those materials ably withstand exposure to high temperatures but suffer from such disadvantages as being relatively expensive to manufacture, being difficult to machine or otherwise shape into complex configurations, and being relatively fragile.
- Glasses and glass-ceramics have been utilized as supports in electronic devices because of their excellent electrical insulating characteristics, their relative cheapness, their ability to withstand high temperatures, their low vapor pressure, and their high mechanical strength. However, most glasses and glass-ceramics, like sintered ceramics, are difficult to machine and holes cannot be readily drilled or punched therein.
- United States Patents Nos. 2,628, 160 dated February 10, 1953 and 2,684,911 dated July 27, 1954 of Stanley D. Stookey disclose thermally opacifiable glass compositions which exhibit photosensitivity and the capability of being chemically machined to fine tolerances. The glasses described in those patents consist essentially, by weight on the oxide basis, of 9-15% Li20, 0-8% total Na20 and/or K20, 9-23% Li2O + Na2O + K20, 70-$5% SiO2, 0.001-0.020% Ag, computed as AgCl, O-1C% Al2O3, 0-2.4% F, and 0-0.05% Ce02. Exposing portions-of such glass bodies to actinic radiation, commonly ultraviolet radiation, produces a latent image in the glass. A subsequent heat treatment at temperatures generally below the softening point of the glass causes the development of crystallites selected from the group of a lithium silicate and an alkali metal fluoride in the previously-exposed portions of the bodies. Such crystals are many more times soluble in dilute hydrofluoric acid than the surrounding glass. Advantage has been taken of this difference in solubility between the crystals and the residual glass to promote the chemical machining or sculpturing of glass articles into very intricate designs and shapes and to produce holes of complex configurations therein.
- In common with conventional opal glasses, the above-described photosensitive opal glasses are low in actual crystal content. United States Patent No. 2,971,853, dated February 14, 1961, to Stanley D. Stookey, however, describes the production of glass-ceramic articles which demonstrate photosensitivity and the capability of being chemically sculptured. The articles are produced by subjecting portions of glass bodies consisting essentially, by weight on the oxide basis, of 60-85% Si02, 5.5-15% Li20, 2-25% Al2033 the ratio Al2O3:Li2O being less than 1.7:1, and a photosensitive metal in the indicated proportion selected from the group of 0.001-0.03% gold, computed as Au, 0.001-0.3% silver, computed as AgCl, and 0.001-1% copper, computed as CuO, to actinic radiation, again commonly ultraviolet radiation, to produce a latent image in the glass. A subsequent two-step heat treatment, the first step utilizing temperatures between the annealing and softening points of the glass and the second step involving temperatures above the softening point of the glass, effects the generation of crystals in the previously-exposed portions of the bodies. Those portions of the glass-ceramic body are highly crystalline and contain at least one lithium-containing crystal phase which is more readily soluble in dilute hydrofluoric acid than the residual glass and other crystal phases present. These glass-ceramic products are mechanically stronger and are capable of being used at higher temperatures than the above-described photosensitive opal glasses.
- Chemically machinable'glasses and glass-ceramics have been used commercially in a number of applications including electronic and fluidic devices where grooves, holes, slots, etc., of high tolerances have been etched therein. For a number of years, Corning Glass Works, Corning, New York, has marketed a chemically machinable glass product under the trademark FOTOFORM and a chemical machinable glass-ceramic under the trademark FOTOCERAM.

- Another objective of the invention is to fabricate electrode assemblies which can be utilized in gas-filled display panels or in other types of devices that employ crossed electrodes and cell matrices.
- The method of the invention comprises five general steps:
- First, a plate cf photosensitive, electrical insulating material is exposed to actinic radiation to develop a latent image therein in a pattern of parallel strips across a face of said plate;
- Second, said plate is heat-treated in a manner to develop a phase in the previously-exposed strip portions which can be selectively chemically removed from said plate material;
- Third, one surface of said plate in at least the strip portions thereof is contacted with a solvent to selectively remove the phase in said strip portions part way into said plate to form parallel slots therein;

- Fifth, an array of electrodes, e.g., cathodes, is provided on the continuous surface of said plate opposite to said first array of electrodes oriented transversely to said first array of electrodes; and then
- Sixth, said plate in at least the strip portions thereot is again contacted with a solvent to selectively remove the phase of said strip portions completely through said plate. '
- The following description of the invention is directed to photosensitive glasses and glass-ceramics of the types described above in Patents Nos. 2,628,160 and 2,971,853 because of their inherent high mechanical strength and refractoriness and low vapor pressure.
- Referring now to the appended drawings, a
plate 10 of a photosensitive glass is exposed to ultraviolet radiation in the form of collimated beams, or through a patterned mask comprised of material opaque to ultraviolet radiation, or in some other manner to produce latent images in the form of parallel, linear exposedregions 20 through the body ofplate 10 as seen in Fig. 2. As illustrated in Fig. 1,regions 20 do not extend to the edges ofplate 10 so that the edge portions ofplate 10 remain in place to maintain the integrity ofplate 10 when portions thereof are subsequently removed in exposedregions 20. It will be understood that other arrangements can be devised to holdplate 10 together after exposedregions 20 have been removed. - Exposed
regions 20 are then heated to temperatures generally below the softening point of the glass to develop crystallites therein selected from the group of a lithium silicate and an alkali metal fluoride, following which the crystallized regions are contacted with dilute hydrofluoric acid atsurface 12 ofplate 10 to remove the crystallized regions part way through the cross-section ofplate 10 to formslots 40 seen in Fig. 3. - Thereafter, as represented in Figs. 3 and 4, an array of
elongated cathode electrodes 50 is applied by any suitable method to theobverse surface 14 ofplate 10 in transverse orientation to exposedregions 20. It will be appreciated that this cathode array may be formed uponplate 10 beforeslots 40 are produced. - Subsequently,
plate 10 is secured through any convenient means to the surface of asupport plate 60 of an electrical insulating material, e.g., glass, which carries elongatedparallel anode electrodes 70 which have been applied to supportplate 60 by any suitable method. As depicted in Fig. 5,plate 60 is oriented in such relation toplate 10 thatanodes 70 are aligned with and positioned withinslots 40. - Finally, crystallized
regions 20 are again contacted with dilute hydrofluoric acid to remove the remainder thereof such thatslots 40 penetrate totally through the cross-section ofplate 10 providing the completed assembly shown in Figs. 6 and 7. The resulting assembly, after the attachment of leads thereof, can be incorporated into a gas-filled display panel or into any other type of device which utilizes crossed electrodes and cell matrices. - It will be recognized that the anodes and cathodes can be formed from any suitable material which is highly electrically conducting and has a coefficient of thermal expansion relatively closely matching that of the plate material. Commonly, the electrodes will be metallic, fabricated from stainless steel, nickel, or an alloy having the necessary expansion characteristic. They can be applied through'any suitable process including, but not limited to, silk screening, evaporation, RF sputtering, electroless metal plating, and vapor deposition. Galvanic plating may be used.
- It will be apparent that configurations other than rectilinear slots, such as V-shaped grooves or arc-shaped channels, will be equally operative in the final assembly.
