Filed:

Oct 14, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/949931

Inventors:

J. Brett Rolfson - Boise ID
Kevin Tjaden - Boise ID
Trung T. Doan - Boise ID

Assignee:

Micron Technology, Inc. - Boise ID

International Classification:

H01L 2100

US Classification:

438 20

Abstract:

A field emitter display having reduced surface leakage comprising at least one emitter tip surrounded by a dielectric region. The dielectric region is formed of a composite of insulative layers, at least one of which has fins extending toward the emitter tip. A conductive gate, for extracting electrons from the emitter tip, is disposed superjacent the dielectric region. The fins increase the length of the path that leaked electrical charge travels before impacting the gate.

US Classification:

327156

Abstract:

A radio frequency identification device comprises an integrated circuit including a receiver, a transmitter, and a microprocessor. The receiver and transmitter together define an active transponder. The integrated circuit is preferably a monolithic single die integrated circuit including the receiver, the transmitter, and the microprocessor. Because the device includes an active transponder, instead of a transponder which relies on magnetic coupling for power, the device has a much greater range.
