Abstract
1277039 Cathode ray storage tubes; semiconductor targets TEXAS INSTRUMENTS Inc 9 July 1969 [9 Sept 1968] 34598/69 Headings H1D and H1K An image storage device, in particular a scan converter, has a target 22 comprising a sheet of semi-conductor material 34, e.g. N-type silicon, with a layer of insulating material 36, e.g. silicon oxide, on one surface having a number of discrete areas 38 of reduced thickness, such that when this insulating surface is scanned by an electron beam discrete depletion layers 46 are formed in the sheet 34 in correspondence to the reduced thickness portions 38. In a scan converter the target is disposed between the opposed write and read electron guns and the read gun is initially scanned to produce the uniform depletion layers 46. An intensity modulated electron beam from the write gun incident on the opposite face of sheet 34 produces electron-hole pairs which migrate to the depletion layers 46 to selectively alter the charge condition thereof. When scanned once more by the read beam 44 an alternating output signal detected by sensor 40 is produced by the target, where value is dependent on the amount of charge required to restore the depletion layers to their original state. A phosphor layer 50 may be provided on the write gun side of sheet 34 to increase the persistance of the image storage of the device. As shown in Fig. 8 in particular for radar screens in which a circular scan may be converted to a horizontal one, a low energy beam 52 is used to produce a persistant image, and a high energy beam 54 which penetrates the phosphor layer 50 produces a non-persistant image which can be used to tag the persistant images. The insulating layer 36 may be formed by growing a uniform oxide layer over a silicon wafer, etching holes in the oxide representing the discrete areas 38 and then growing a relatively thin second oxide layer to cover the bottom of the holes. A layer of metal film may in addition be formed over the areas 38 giving a device similar to an MOS device. Also the thicker regions of oxide layer 36 may be doped to prevent charging of areas below these regions. The thickness of the target 22 may be in the micron range.
