Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) has been used for phosphor screening for a variety of emissive information displays and more recently, for solid state lighting. EPD is well suited to deposit the fine (nanometer to micrometer diameter) phosphor particles needed for high resolution displays. The fundamentals of the EPD process in an isopropanol (IPA) bath have been characterized by the dissociation behavior of nitrate salts in IPA, measurement of the effects of pH and nitrate salt concentration on the zeta potential of the particles, studying of the processing conditions and modeling of the deposition rates. The electrochemical precipitation reactions form an adhesive agent for the particles and the adhesion strength can be enhanced by various methods to meet the requirements of these technologies.

High-resolution field-emission-gun scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) has recently emerged as an extremely powerful method for characterizing the micro- or nanostructure of materials. The development of high efficiency backscattered-electron detectors has increased the resolution attainable with backscattered-electrons to almost that attainable with secondary-electrons. This increased resolution allows backscattered-electron imaging to be utilized to study materials once possible only by TEM. In addition to providing quantitative information, such as critical dimensions, SEM is more statistically representative. That is, the amount of material that can be sampled with SEM for a given measurement is many orders of magnitude greater than that with TEM.In the present work, a Hitachi S-900 FESEM (operating at 5kV) equipped with a high-resolution backscattered electron detector, has been used to study the α-Fe2O3 enhanced or seeded solid-state phase transformations of sol-gel alumina and solid-state reactions in the NiO/α-Al2O3 system. In both cases, a thin-film cross-section approach has been developed to facilitate the investigation. Specifically, the FESEM allows transformed- or reaction-layer thicknesses along interfaces that are millimeters in length to be measured with a resolution of better than 10nm.
