Abstract— A prototype ballistic electron surface‐emitting display (BSD) was fabricated on a TFT or PDP glass substrate by using a low‐temperature process. A 84 × 63‐pixel, 7.6‐in.‐diagonal full‐color BSD shows excellent performance, comparable to the previously reported 2.6‐in. model. This result demonstrates the strong possibility of large‐panel BSDs.

Ballistic electron Surface-emitting Display (BSD) is successfully fabricated on a glass substrate with low temperature process. 168 (RGB) x 126 pixels, 2.6 inches diagonal full-colour BSD exhibits excellent performance as a flat panel display. Main fabrication process is an anodisation and subsequent electrochemical oxidation process at a low temperature, which will contribute to larger panel size and process-cost reduction.

Annealing effects on the operation stability of ballistic electron emission from electrochemically oxidized nanocrystalline silicon diodes Efficient and ballistic cold electron emission from porous polycrystalline silicon diodes with a porosity multilayer structure J.The cold electron emission characteristics of nanocrystalline porous polysilicon ͑PPS͒ diodes have been investigated for two PPS diodes prepared under different conditions. The origin of the difference in the emission efficiency and electron energy distribution between the two samples is analyzed in relation to the respective photoluminescence properties. The photoluminescence spectrum in the efficient electron emitter consists of red and blue emission bands corresponding to nanocrystalline silicon and interfacial oxide, respectively, while that in the low-efficiency emitter consists only of a blue band. Too much oxidation results in a reduction of the emission efficiency due to increased electron scattering. It is evident that both the formation of nanocrystalline silicon and its appropriate surface oxidation are key issues for obtaining efficient ballistic emission. These results are consistent with the emission model that electrons are accelerated in the PPS layer by multiple tunneling through interfacial oxide barriers between interconnected silicon nanocrystallites.
