Abstract

In one aspect, an electron emission device comprises a substrate, and a first layer supported by the substrate. The first layer comprises a conductive material. The electron emission display device further comprises an electron emission tip electrically connected with the first layer, and a second layer electrically disposed between the first layer and the electron emission tip. The second layer comprises microcrystalline silicon. In another aspect, the invention encompasses a method of forming an electron emission device. A substrate is provided, and a conductive layer is formed over the substrate. A microcrystalline-silicon-containing layer is formed over the conductive layer, and a resistor layer is formed over the microcrystalline-silicon-containing layer. An emitter tip is formed over the resistor layer. In yet other aspects, the invention encompasses field emission display devices, and methods of forming field emission display devices.
