Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for manufacturing an emissive cathode comprising a cathode layer structured in columns, a grid layer structured in lines and emissive pads, the emitting pads being self - aligned with the lines of the gate layer. According to a particular embodiment, the emitting pads are also self-aligned with the columns of the cathode layer.
  • Cathodic structures are mainly used in field emission excited cathodo-luminescence display devices and particularly in field emission flat screens.
  • These field emission display devices comprise a cathode, which emits electrons, and an anode, opposite the cathode, covered with one or more luminescent layers.
  • the anode and the cathode are separated by a space kept under vacuum.
  • the cathode is either a source based on microtips, or a source based on a low threshold field emissive layer. If it is a low-threshold emissive layer, this layer may consist of nanostructures such as nanotubes, nanowires or nanofilaments; these nanostructures are made of electrically conductive material, such as carbon; they may also consist of multilayers (for example, multilayers of AlN or BN).
  • the structure of the cathode may be of the diode or triode type. Triode structures have an additional electrode called a gate that controls the extraction of electrons. For flat screen application, a cathode having a triode structure is used because this particular structure makes it possible to separate the control voltage (gate voltage) from the anode voltage. Indeed, the control voltage must be low in order to minimize the cost of the addressing transistors ("drivers"), while the anode voltage must be as high as possible in order to improve the light output of the cathode and to minimize energy consumption. Triode type cathodes consist of rows and columns, the intersection of a line and a column defining a pixel. During operation of the cathode, the data to be displayed are fed to the columns, while the lines are sequentially scanned in order to address the entire screen, that is to say all the pixels of the screen.
  • a triode-type cathode is described in Application FR 2,836,279, filed February 19, 2002, and is illustrated in Figures IA and IB.
  • This cathode comprises the following elements: a first conductive level consisting of a structured cathode layer in the form of columns 7,
  • a resistive layer 2 for example an amorphous silicon layer
  • a layer of insulating material 6 placed between the resistive layer 2 and a second conducting level 10; a second conducting level consisting of a grid layer 8 structured in the form of lines 9, potential of this second level to control the extraction of electrons,
  • a cavity 16 is made by etching the gate layer 8 and the layer of insulating material 6.
  • a cavity 16 has a width of 10 to 15 microns and the grids are arranged with a pitch of 20 to 25 microns between the lines.
  • FIG. 1A it can be seen that the lines 9 are engraved with cavities 16 at the intersection of the lines 9 and the columns 7, and that the lines are also etched outside these intersections to form thinner lines 11 .
  • the columns 7 of the cathode layer have a particular perforated structure 13, forming sub-columns 4, on which the resistive layer 2 is deposited.
  • the studs 14 must be positioned in the cavities between the sub-columns so that the electrical connection of the sub-columns 4 to the pads 14 is done through the resistive layer 2.
  • the disadvantage of this method is that it requires two precise alignments, a first alignment of the cavities 16 with respect to the sub-columns 4, with an accuracy of the order of 1 to 2 ⁇ m (FIG. second alignment of the emitting pads 14, with respect to the grids 10, with an accuracy of at least 0.5 microns (Figure 2D).
  • An off-centering of the cavities 16 with respect to the sub-columns 4 leads to a variation of the access resistance of the sub-columns to the emissive pads by the resistive layer. This variation remains second-order as long as the decentering does not exceed 2 ⁇ m.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the known method so as to reduce the number of necessary alignments. This and other objects are achieved according to the invention by a method of producing a triode-type cathode structure comprising:
  • deposition steps on a face of a substrate, of a cathode layer of electrically conductive material, of a resistive layer, of an electric insulating layer, of a grid layer of electrically conductive material , so as to form a stack, the gate layer forming the surface layer of the stack and being adjacent to the insulating layer,
  • the cathode layer for structuring it into cathode conductors arranged in a form chosen from one of the line form and the column form,
  • the gate layer for structuring it into gate conductors arranged in a form selected from the other between the line form and the column form,
  • the method being characterized in that the etching steps of the structured gate layer in grid conductors and the electrical insulating layer are performed by: a) depositing a layer of resin on the grid layer structured in grid conductors, b) lithography and development of the resin layer to obtain openings in the resin layer arranged in a pattern intended to form emitting studs at the bottom of the cavities, c) etching of the grid layer structured in grid conductors, according to the pattern, d) etching of the layer of insulator under to the grid layer structured in grid conductors by widening the etching beyond the patterns of emissive pads to obtain a cavity width
  • the structuring of the cathode layer, to structure it in cathode conductors, and the etching of said cathode layer structured in cathode conductors, to give it a perforated structure are carried out before the deposit of the resistive layer.
  • the structuring of the cathode layer, to structure it in cathode conductors is carried out before the deposition of the insulating layer and, the insulator layer and the cathode layer structured in conductors of cathode being located between the grid layer structured in grid conductors and the resistive layer, step e) is completed by an etching of the cathode layer structured in cathode conductors, at the level of the areas exposed by the etching of the layer of insulation to reach the resistive layer, so as to provide a perforated structure to the cathode layer structured in cathode conductors.
  • a diffusion barrier layer of the catalyst is deposited in the openings of the resin layer.
  • the structuring of the cathode layer into cathode conductors or / and the structuring of the gate conductor layer is (are) carried out by etching through a mask obtained by photolithography.
  • the structuring of the cathode layer to structure it into cathode conductors is completed by the etching of at least a portion of the thickness of the resistive layer at the areas exposed by the structuring from the cathode layer structured into cathode conductors.
  • the resistive layer can thus be etched, for example, during the same lithography step as that used to etch the cathode layer into cathode conductors, which makes it possible to perfectly isolate the cathode conductors from each other and to avoid the leakage currents between the cathode leads during the operation of the screen.
  • This embodiment is particularly interesting when it is desired to minimize the power consumption. It is specified that the resistive layer is etched between the columns, but not inside a column.

  • step g) of removing the resin layer is carried out by "lift-off” or by dissolving the resin layer.
  • the method of production further comprises a step of growing nanostructures of the nanotube, nanowire or nanofilament type on the catalyst layer to form the emitting pads.
  • step d) of etching the insulating layer is an isotropic wet etching.
  • Isotropic etching makes it possible to obtain a cavity centered in the insulator layer with respect to the pattern of the pads defined in the resin layer.
  • the method according to the invention makes it possible to produce cathode structures that can be used in particular in flat-field emission displays and / or in backlighting ("backlight") for liquid crystal display LCDs (liquid crystal display LCDs). in English) .

  • FIGS. 4A to 4F illustrate a second embodiment of the method according to the invention.

  • the embodiment method according to the invention allows, according to a first variant, to self-align the emitting pads with respect to the grid conductors, that is to say to position the emitting pads with respect to the grid conductors without having aligning the pads on the cavities formed in the gate layer, which eliminates one of the constraints of the prior art.
