Abstract
In one aspect the invention includes a method of forming a semiconductor device, comprising: a) forming a layer over a substrate; b) forming a plurality of openings extending into the layer; c) depositing particles on the layer; d) collecting the particles within the openings; and e) using the collected particles as a mask during etching of the underlying substrate to define features of the semiconductor device. In another aspect, the invention includes a method of forming a field emission display, comprising: a) forming a silicon dioxide layer over a conductive substrate; b) forming a plurality of openings extending into the silicon dioxide layer; c) depositing particles on the silicon dioxide layer; d) collecting the particles within the openings; e) while using the collected particles as a mask, etching the conductive substrate to form a plurality of conically shaped emitters from the conductive substrate; and f) forming a display screen spaced from said emitters.
