The glass-to-glass electrostatic bonding process in vacuum environment was developed and the tubeless-packaged FED was fabricated based on the bonding process. The fabricated tubeless-packaged FED showed stable field emission characteristics and potential applicability to the FED tubeless packaging and vacuum in-line sealing.

New package process for PDP was proposed based on the glass-to-glass vacuum-electrostatic bonding process and tubeless packaging concept derived from the previous study. Hermeticity and operating performance of PDP test panel through the seal-off process application and the possibility for practical use might be high if the process simplicity and productivity-related effort was sequentially carried out.

This paper presents a study on the tubeless Plasma Display Panel (PDP) packaging using glass-to-glass electrostatic bonding with intermediate amorphous silicon. The bonded sample sealing the mixed gas with three species showed high strength ranging from 2.5 MPa to 4 MPa. The glass-to-glass bonding for packaging was performed at a low temperature of $180^{\circ}C$ by applying bias of 250 $V_{dc}$ in ambient of mixed gases of He-Ne(27 %)-Xe(3 %). The tubeless packaging was accomplished by bonding the support glass plate of $30mm{\times}50mm$ on the rear glass panel and the capping glass of $20mm{\times}20mm$. The 4-inch color AC-PDP with thickness of 8 mm was successfully fabricated and fully emitted as white color at a firing voltage of 190V.

This paper repors on low temperature sealing process of PDP using binder and capping glass. The exhausting hole on rear glass of PDP was sealed by capping glass using screen-printed binder without exhausting glass tube. Based on the tubeless packaging process, out gassing problem could be reduced and vacuum conductance could be improved by eliminating exhaust tube.

As a fundamental study for FED tubeless packaging, sodalime-sodalime electrostatic bonding was performed by using on the developed bonding mechanism. Thebonding properties of the bonded sodalime-sodalime structure were investigated through SEM and SIMS analyses. Mo-tip FEA was vacuum-packaged by the developed bonding process and the packaged device generated the field emission current.

In this paper, we suggest the FED packaging technology that have 4mm thickness, using sodalime glass-to-sodalime glass electrostatic bonding. It based on conventional silicon-glass bonding. The silicon film was deposited an around the exhausting hole on FED backside panel. And then, the silicon film of panel was successfully bonded with capping(bare) glass in vacuum environment and the FED panel was vacuum-sealed. In this method, we could achieve more 153 times increased conductance and 200 times increased vacuum efficiency than conventional tube packaging method. The vacuum level in panel, by SRG test, was maintained about low 10$_{-4}$ Torr during above two months And, the light emission was observed to 0.7-inch tubeless packaged FED. Then anode current was 34 $\mu$ A. Emission stability was constantly measured for 10 days.

Cantilever-shaped lateral field emitters were fabricated and their electrical characteristics were tested. As shown in Fig.1, poly-silicon cantilevers were fabricated by the surface micromachining and they were used to the vacuum magnetic field sensors. The tunneling devices were vacuum sealed with the tubeless packaging method, as shown in Fig.2 and Fig.3. The soda-lime glasses were used for better encapsulation, so the sputtered silicon and the glass layers on the soda-lime glasses were bonded together at 1x10$^{-6}$ Torr. The getter was activated after the vacuum sealing fur the stable emissions. The devices were tested outside of the vacuum chamber. Through vacuum packaging, the tunneling sensors can be utilized. Fig.4 shows that the sensor operates with the switching of the magnetic field. When the magnetic field was applied to the device, the anode currents were varied by the Lorentz force. The difference of anode currents can be varied with the strength of the applied magnetic field.
