Abstract: A radio frequency communication device and methods of testing and tuning an antenna attached thereto are disclosed. A radio frequency communication device comprises internal circuitry and an antenna having a plurality of antenna segments associated therewith. Each antenna segment is associated with the antenna in either series or parallel relation through at least one of a fuse and an antifuse. In testing and tuning, a comparison is made to indicate whether the antenna is too short or too long. If the antenna is too short, an antenna segment may be attached to the antenna by initiating an antifuse. If the antenna is too long, an antenna segment may be detached from the antenna by blowing a fuse. If it is indeterminate whether the antenna is too short or too long, an antenna segment may be either attached or detached, the test repeated, and the results of the repeated test compared with the prior test to determine whether the correct action was taken.

Abstract: A radio frequency communication device and methods of testing and tuning an antenna attached thereto are disclosed. A radio frequency communication device according to the present invention is disclosed comprising internal circuitry and an antenna having a plurality of antenna segments associated therewith. Each antenna segment is associated with the antenna in either series or parallel relation through at least one of a fuse and an antifuse. In testing and tuning, a comparison is made to indicate whether the antenna is too short or too long. If the antenna is too short, an antenna segment may be attached to the antenna by initiating an antifuse. If the antenna is too long, an antenna segment may be detached from the antenna by blowing a fuse. If it is indeterminate whether the antenna is too short or too long, an antenna segment may be either attached or detached, the test repeated, and the results of the repeated test compared with the prior test to determine whether the correct action was taken. If the results improved, the correct action may be repeated if needed. If the results did not improve, an opposing action may be initiated. Tuning the antenna by adjusting its length rather than adjusting the values of impedance elements coupled to the antenna reduces power consumption and heat, and simplifies tuning of antennas for high frequency applications.

Abstract: The disclosed method for forming a field emission display includes forming a cathode and an anode, forming a plurality of photoresist posts over the cathode, and coating the posts with a coating material. The coating material forms sidewalls around the posts. The photoresist posts may then be removed from within the sidewalls. The anode may then be fitted onto the sidewalls so that the sidewalls function as spacers in the field emission display.

Abstract: A field emission display has an anode with a grille made at least in part of a getter material. The grille defines regions that are coated with phosphor to form pixels, and also getters free molecules within a sealed display. The getter material can alternatively be formed directly on at least a part of the grille, or over the grille on an intermediate layer.

Abstract: A process is provided for forming spacers useful in large area displays. The process comprises steps of : forming bundles or boules comprising fiber strands which are held together with a binder; slicing the bundles or boules into slices; adhering the slices on an electrode plate of the display; and removing the binder. In the step of forming bundles or boules comprising fiber strands, the function of the binder is initially or fully performed by glass tubings surrounding the glass fibers. The clad glass of the envelopes etches more readily than the core glass.

Abstract: In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a semiconductor processing method of treating a semiconductor wafer provides a wafer within a volume of liquid. The wafer has some electrically conductive material formed thereover. The volume of liquid within the chamber with the wafer therein is established at a pressure of greater than 1 atmosphere and at a temperature of at least 200° C., and below and within 10% of the melting point of the electrically conductive material. In accordance with another aspect, the volume of liquid within the chamber with the wafer therein is established at a pressure of greater than 1 atmosphere. After establishing the pressure of greater than 1 atmosphere, the pressure of the volume of liquid is lowered to a point effective to vaporize said liquid and the vapor is withdrawn from the chamber. In accordance with still another aspect, a semiconductor processing method of increasing planarity of an outer surface on a substrate comprises exposing the outer surface to a volume of liquid at a pressure of greater than about 200 atmospheres. The invention has particular utility to more completely filling contact openings with electrically conductive material, and to increasing substrate planarity. A typical preferred treatment is expected to last anywhere from seconds up to ten minutes or more.
