After the exposing, the material is bonded with masking particles. The adhered masking particles define a mask over the semiconductive substrate. The substrate is etched while the patterned mask protects portions of the substrate. A plurality of emitters are formed from the substrate. A display screen is provided to be spaced from the emitters.
Description
- [0001] This invention was made with Government support under Contract No. DABT63-97-C-0001 awarded by Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). The Government has certain rights in this invention.
- The invention pertains to methods of forming patterned constructions, such as methods of patterning semiconductive substrates. In a particular aspect, the invention pertains to methods of forming field emission displays.
- Modern semiconductor fabrication processes frequently involve patterning of materials. One common method of patterning is to form a layer of photosensitive material (e.g., photoresist) over a substrate and expose the material to a source of radiation. A mask is provided between the radiation and the photosensitive material, with the mask comprising opaque and transparent regions. The mask patterns the radiation passing through it, and the patterned radiation impacts the photosensitive material to create a pattern of exposed and unexposed regions. The exposed regions are rendered either more or less soluble in a solvent than the unexposed regions. After the exposure to the patterned beam of radiation, the solvent is utilized to selectively remove either the exposed or unexposed portions of the photosensitive layer and to thereby transfer a pattern from the mask onto the photosensitive layer. If the exposed portions are removed a positive image of the mask is formed in the photosensitive layer, and if the unexposed portions are removed a negative image of the mask is formed in the photosensitive layer.
- The above-described processing is frequently referred to as “photolithographic processing”. It is utilized for forming numerous patterned constructions for semiconductor devices. A difficulty with the method is that a resolution of the method can be limited by properties of the photosensitive material and optics of the pattern transfer tools. Accordingly, it would be desirable to develop improved methods of photolithographic processing, such as, for example, developing improved photosensitive materials.
- In another aspect of the prior art, field emitters are used in display devices, such as, for example, flat panel displays. Emission current and brightness of a field emission display is a function of a number of factors, including emitter tip sharpness. Specifically, sharper emitter tips can produce higher resolution displays than less sharp emitter tips. Accordingly, numerous methods have been proposed for fabrication of very sharp emitter tips (i.e., emitter tips having tip radii of 100 nanometers or less). Fabrication of very sharp tips has, however, proved difficult. It has proved particularly difficult to build large areas of sharp emitter tips using the above-described photolithographic methods while maintaining resolution and stringent dimensional control over large area substrates used for display manufacture. A technology that has been proposed for enabling formation of emitter tips is a particle dispersment technology (such as the process of U.S. Pat. No. 5,676,853 to Alwan) wherein small particles are layered over a substrate to form a mask for formation of emitter tips. Thus far, the dispersment technologies have proved difficult to utilize in that it is difficult to stringently control the location of emitter tips formed from the somewhat random distribution of particulates over a substrate surface.
- In light of the above-discussed difficulties, it would be desirable to develop alternative methods for forming emitter tips.
- In one aspect, the invention includes a method of patterning a substrate. A film is formed over a substrate and comprises a plurality of individual molecules. The individual molecules comprise two ends, with one of the two ends being directed toward the substrate and the other of the two ends being directed away from the substrate. Particle-adhering groups are bound to said other of the two ends of at least some of the individual molecules, and a plurality of particles are adhered to the particle-adhering groups. The adhered particles are a mask over the substrate. The substrate is etched while the mask protects portions of the substrate.
- In another aspect, the invention encompasses a method of forming a field emission display. A material is formed over a substrate. The material has a surface with exposed nitrogen-containing groups. At least one portion of the material is exposed to radiation while leaving at least one other portion of the material unexposed. The exposing renders one of the exposed or unexposed portions better at bonding the masking particles than the other of the exposed and unexposed portions. After the exposing, the material is bonded with masking particles. The bonding comprises reacting exposed moieties of the masking particles with the nitrogen-containing groups. The adhered masking particles define a mask over the semiconductive substrate. The substrate is etched while the mask protects portions of the substrate. A plurality of emitters are formed from the substrate. A display screen is provided to be spaced from the emitters.

- This disclosure of the invention is submitted in furtherance of the constitutional purposes of the U.S. Patent Laws “to promote the progress of science and useful arts” (Article 1, Section 8).
- The invention encompasses methods of patterning materials. An exemplary application of a method of the present invention is for utilization in patterning during semiconductive material fabrication, such as, for example, in forming emitter tips for field emission display (FED) devices. An exemplary method of forming FED emitter tips in accordance with the present invention is described with reference to FIGS.1-8.
- Referring to FIG. 1, a
fragment 10 of a semiconductive material construction is illustrated at a preliminary step of a method of the present invention.Fragment 10 comprises aglass plate 12, a firstsemiconductive material layer 14 overlyingglass plate 12, a secondsemiconductive material 16 overlyingmaterial 14, and asilicon dioxide layer 18 overlying secondsemiconductive material 16.Semiconductive material 14 can comprise either a p-type doped or an n-type doped semiconductive material (such as, for example, monocrystalline silicon), andsemiconductive material 16 can comprise doped polycrystalline silicon (polysilicon) material.Materials Silicon dioxide layer 18 has anuppermost surface 19. It is noted that the above-described materials oflayer Layer 18 can comprise any material which is selectively etchable relative to the material oflayer 16. Depending on the construction oflayer 16,layer 18 can comprise, for example, nickel, chrome, silicon nitride, and/or the above discussed silicon dioxide.Layer 16 can comprise any material suitable for forming emitter tips, including, for example, silicon carbide, boron nitride, metal, and/or the above-discussed polysilicon. - To aid in interpretation of this disclosure and the claims that follow, it is noted that either of
layers - A
layer 20 of organic molecules 22 (only some of which are labeled) is formed oversilicon dioxide material 18. In the shown embodiment,organic layer 20 comprises a film of molecules arranged such thatlayer 20 is one molecule deep.Such layer 20 that is one molecule deep can be referred to as a monomolecular film. Each ofmolecules 22 comprises two ends (24 and 26), which are connected by a linkingsegment 28. Ends 26 are configured to adhere to masking particles (described below with reference to FIG. 4), while ends 24 are configured to adhere tolayer 18. The masking particle binding group ofend 26 is symbolized by a square in FIG. 1, and the group binding tolayer 18 is symbolized by a circle. Ends 26 define an upper surface oflayer 20 which has masking particle adhering properties. -
Organic molecules 22 can be provided by exposinguppermost surface 19 ofsilicon dioxide layer 18 to silane. Such silane can comprise the formula RnSiXm, wherein R is an organic functional group, n is an integer of from 1 to 3, X is, for example, a halogen, alkoxy or amine, and m=(4−n). The silane reacts withsurface 19 to bond molecules comprising RnSiXm to surface 19. The individual R groups of the boundmolecules 22 have two ends which can be referred to as a first end and a second end. The first end is bound to the Si of the RSi, and the second end is spaced from the Si by a length of an individual R group. The bound molecules are oriented with the first ends directed towardsurface 19, and the second ends spaced further from the surface than the first ends. Maskingparticle bonding groups 26 are ultimately provided at the second ends. The maskingparticle bonding groups 26 can be provided either before or after reacting the silane with exposedsurface 19. In a particular aspect of the invention, the masking particle bonding groups are nitrogen-containing groups, such as, for example, NH2. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the R groups of the silane are non-polar during reacting of the silane with exposedsurface 19, and nitrogen-containinggroups 26 are attached to the R groups after reacting the silane with the exposed surface. Conventional chemistry can be utilized for attaching the nitrogen-containing groups to the non-polar R groups. The class of nonpolar R groups can include, for example, olefins, acetylenes, diacetylenes, acrylates, aromatic hydrocarbons, methacrylates, methyl, perfluorinated hydrocarbons, primary amines, long chain hydrocarbons and esters. It will be noted that in embodiments in which the non-polar R groups comprise primary amines, the non-polar R groups inherently can comprise nitrogen-containingend groups 26. - Referring to FIG. 2,
construction 10 is exposed to a patterned beam ofradiation 30.Radiation 30 can be patterned by passing the radiation through a mask containing opaque and transparent features. The patternedradiation 30 strikes some ofmolecules 22, and others ofmolecules 22 are not exposed toradiation 30. - Referring to FIG. 3, the
molecules 22 exposed toradiation 30 are cleaved by the radiation to release maskingparticle adhering groups 26 from the molecules. The cleavage occurs along linkingportion 28. Such cleavage can be generated by utilizing radiation having an energy that is of the same order of magnitude as that of covalent bonds in the linkingportions 28, and is generally referred to as photolysis. Suitable radiation can comprise x-rays, electron beams, or ultraviolet light, depending on the nature of the covalent bonds. The removal of maskingparticle adhering groups 26 from themolecules 22 exposed toradiation 30 renders such exposed molecules less capable of adhering masking particles than are the molecules that were not exposed toradiation 30. - Referring to FIG. 4, masking
particles 40 are adhered to maskingparticle bonding regions 26 oforganic molecules 22. Maskingparticles 40 can comprise, for example, latex beads, or carboxyl latex beads, and can be approximately spherical, with diameters of from about 0.2 to about 2 micrometers. Maskingparticles 40 comprise exposedmoieties 42 which are attracted to and/or reactive with maskingparticle adhering groups 26. In an exemplary application, maskingparticle adhering groups 26 can comprise nitrogen and exposedmoieties 42 of the masking particles can comprise carboxylate groups. The nitrogen of adheringgroups 26 can be reacted with the carboxylate groups ofmoieties 42 utilizing conventional chemistry to form covalent bonds. In an alternative application, maskingparticle adhering groups 26 can comprise carboxylate groups and exposedmoieties 42 can comprise nitrogen. - A method of adhering
particles 40 toparticle adhering groups 26 is to exposelayer 20 to a colloidal suspension of maskingparticles 40 under conditions in which moieties 42 react with adheringgroups 26. Excess masking particles can then be removed by, for example, ultrasonic vibration, mechanical scraping (e.g., squeegeeing) and/or rinsing of a surface oflayer 20. After removal of excess masking particles, the remaining masking particles adhered togroups 26 form a patterned mask overlayer 18. It is noted that in the shownembodiment particles 40 are sized such that approximately threeorganic molecules 22 bind perparticle 40. The number of organic molecules binding per particle can be varied by, for example, altering the size of the particles, the spacing ofreactive moieties 42 across a surface of the particles, and/or the size ofreactive groups 26. - Referring to FIG. 5, masking
particles 40 are utilized as a masking layer during removal of portions ofsilicon dioxide layer 18. The silicon dioxide is preferably removed with an etch selective for silicon dioxide relative to the silicon material oflayer 16. Iflayer 16 comprises polysilicon, a suitable etch is an oxide etch utilizing at least one of CF4 or CHF3. The etching ofmaterial 18 transfers a pattern from maskingparticles 40 tomaterial 18, and therebyforms masking blocks 50 frommaterial 18. In the shown embodiment,particles 40 are the sole masking material provided overlayer 18 during the etching and have uppermost surfaces that are exposed during the etching. In other embodiments (not shown), additional materials can be provided over surfaces ofparticles 40 prior to the etching. Such other materials can protect surfaces ofparticles 40 from the etch conditions and/or can further define a mask provided byparticles 40. - Referring to FIG. 6, masking particles40 (FIG. 5) and organic molecules 22 (FIG. 5) are removed from over masking blocks 50. Suitable methods for removing
masking particles 40 andorganic materials 22 are exposure to conditions which cleaveorganic materials 22. Preferably, such conditions are selective for cleavage oforganic materials 22 and do not etch the polysilicon oflayer 16. Exemplary chemistry which can be utilized for cleaving the R groups oforganic materials 22 selectively relative to etching ofpolysilicon 16 include utilization of n-methylpyrrolidine. In the shown embodiment,organic materials 22 are completely removed from over masking blocks 50. However, it is to be understood that the invention encompasses other embodiments (not shown) wherein a portion oforganic materials 22 remains over masking blocks 50 after removal of maskingparticles 40. For instance, the invention encompasses embodiments wherein the linking R groups 28 (FIG. 5) are cleaved to remove maskingparticles 40. Such cleavage will leavebonding portions 24 remaining adhered to masking blocks 50. - Referring to FIG. 7,
construction 10 is exposed to etching conditions which selectively etchpolysilicon material 16 while utilizingblocks 50 as masks, to formemitter structures 54. Emitter structures can, for example, be conically-shaped. In embodiments in which blocks 50 comprise silicon dioxide andmaterial 16 comprises polysilicon, the etching can comprise, for example, a silicon dry etch utilizing SF6 and helium. - Referring to FIG. 8, masking blocks50 are removed to form an emitter tip array comprising
emitter structures 54. In embodiments in which masking blocks 50 comprise silicon dioxide, they can be removed by, for example, wet etching utilizing buffered hydrofluoric acid. The emitter tip array of FIG. 8 can be incorporated into, for example, a flat panel display device as an emitter assembly, as illustrated in FIG. 9. Specifically, FIG. 9 illustrates afield emission display 70 which includesemitters 54.Field emission display 70 further includesdielectric regions 72,spacers 73, anextractor 74, and aluminescent screen 76. Techniques for forming field emission displays are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,151,061; 5,186,670 and 5,210,472; hereby expressly incorporated by reference herein.Emitters 54 emitelectrons 78 whichcharge screen 76 and cause images to be seen by a user on an opposite ofscreen 76. - A second embodiment processing method encompassed by the present invention is described with reference to FIGS.10-13. In referring to the second embodiment, similar number to that utilized above in describing the first embodiment will be used, with differences indicated by the suffix “a”, or by different numerals. Referring to FIG. 10, a
fragment 10 a of a semiconductive material construction is illustrated at a preliminary step of the second embodiment method of the present invention.Fragment 10 a comprises aglass plate 12, a firstsemiconductive material layer 14 overlyingglass plate 12, a secondsemiconductive material 16 overlyingmaterial 14, and asilicon dioxide layer 18 overlying secondsemiconductive material 16. - A
layer 20 a oforganic molecules 22 a (only some of which are labeled) is formed oversilicon dioxide material 18.Molecules 22 a are identical to themolecules 22 described above with reference to FIG. 1, with the exception thatmolecules 22 a comprise a blocking group 80 (symbolized by an asterisk) attached to ends 26 by a linkingsegment 82. As will become evident in the discussion that follows, blockinggroups 80 can impede interaction ofparticle adhering groups 26 with particles. Depending on the nature of the particles, blockinggroups 80 can comprise, for example, cationic groups, anionic groups or non-polar groups. For instance, if the particles comprise exposed carboxylate groups (anionic groups), blockinggroups 80 can also comprise anionic groups (such as, for example, carboxylate groups) to repel the particles. - Referring to FIG. 11,
construction 10 a is exposed to a patterned beam ofradiation 30.Radiation 30 can be patterned by passing the radiation through a mask containing opaque and transparent features, as discussed above with reference to FIG. 2. The patternedradiation 30 strikes some ofmolecules 22 a, and others ofmolecules 22 a are not exposed toradiation 30. - Referring to FIG. 12, the
molecules 22 a exposed toradiation 30 are cleaved by the radiation to release blockinggroups 80 from the molecules. The cleavage occurs along linkingportion 82. Such cleavage can be generated by utilizing radiation- having an energy that is of the same order of magnitude as that of covalent bonds in the linkingportions 82. Suitable radiation can comprise x-rays, electron beams, or ultraviolet light, depending on the nature of the covalent bonds. The removal of blockinggroups 80 from themolecules 22 a exposed toradiation 30 renders such exposed molecules more capable of adhering masking particles than are the molecules that were not exposed toradiation 30. Specifically, the removal of blockinggroups 80 from themolecules 22 a exposed to the radiation unblocks the maskingparticle adhering groups 26 of such molecules. - Referring to FIG. 13, masking
particles 40 are adhered to the unblocked maskingparticle bonding groups 26 oforganic molecules 22 a. As discussed above with reference to FIG. 4, maskingparticles 40 comprise exposedmoieties 42 which can be reactive with maskingparticle adhering groups 26. After adheringmasking particles 40 togroups 26, subsequent processing analogous to that described above with reference to FIGS. 5-9 can be utilized to form emitters fromconstruction 10 a and incorporate such emitters into an FED device. - It is noted that the methods described with reference to FIGS.1-13 are merely exemplary methods of the present invention, and that the invention encompasses other embodiments besides those specifically shown. For instance, in the shown exemplary method masking particles 40 (FIGS. 4, 5 and 13) are provided over a
silicon dioxide material 18, which is in turn provided over apolycrystalline material 16. The invention encompasses other embodiments (not shown) whereinsilicon dioxide layer 18 is eliminated, and organic molecules (22 or 22 a) are adhered directly topolycrystalline silicon material 16. Also, although the shown embodiment illustrates maskingparticles 40 being removed before an etch ofpolycrystalline silicon material 16, the invention encompasses other embodiments wherein maskingparticles 40 are not removed until after the etch ofpolycrystalline silicon 16. Further, although the described invention cleaves some of the organic molecules of layers prior to provision of maskingparticles 40, the invention encompasses other embodiments whereinlayer 20 is not exposed to patterned radiation prior to adheringmasking particles 40 to the layer. In such embodiments, the masking particles can form a uniform monolayer across a surface of a substrate. An alternative method of forming a uniform monolayer of masking particles across a surface of a substrate is to expose an entirety of alayer 20 a (FIG. 10) to radiation, rather than exposing only portions of thelayer 20 a to radiation. Exposure of the entirety of thelayer 20 a will unblockparticle adhering groups 26 across an entirety of the layer to enable bonding of masking particles across the entirety of the layer. - Although the invention is described above with reference to methods of forming emitter structures for field emission display devices, it is to be understood that such is merely an exemplary application of the present invention. The invention can be utilized for patterning constructions other than emitter tips. In such applications, organic molecules analogous to
molecules - In compliance with the statute, the invention has been described in language more or less specific as to structural and methodical features. It is to be understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the specific features shown and described, since the means herein disclosed comprise preferred forms of putting the invention into effect. The invention is, therefore, claimed in any of its forms or modifications within the proper scope of the appended claims appropriately interpreted in accordance with the doctrine of equivalents.
