Abstract
The fabrication of microdischarge arrays in metal/polymer/metal structures, which have a thickness of about 30-100μm, was investigated. The microcavities of 30-100μm in diameter were formed by laser microdrilling or a chemical etching process. To increase the device lifetime and emission uniformity, the electrodes were coated with one of the various thin film dielectrics to a thickness of about 1-4 μm. The voltage-current curve for the arrays exhibited a linear positive differential resistance and startup voltages of about 550-750 V p-p for an excitation frequency of 5-20 kHz AC. The results show that sealing of such flexible devices can be achieved by modified lamination technology and multi-layer coating method.
