Abstract: A semiconductor device having an insulating substrate on which a Schottky diode is formed between a metal layer and a semiconductor layer of polycrystalline or amorphous silicon extending over the metal layer is used  inter alia  in matrix display devices, such as LCDs. The Schottky diode forms part of a switching element of such a device and must have a low reverse current up to a reverse voltage of, for example, approximately 10 V. 
     The known semiconductor device comprising Schottky diodes, in which the semiconductor material extends over a lateral surface of the Schottky metal, is found not to comply with this requirement. 
     In a semiconductor device according to the invention, a low leakage current is realised over a wide reverse voltage range thanks to the presence of a dielectric on the lateral surface of the Schottky metal. The dielectric suppresses the leakage current issuing from the lateral surface. Preferably, the dielectric comprises an oxide of the Schottky metal. This may be readily formed through local oxidation, for example, by means of an oxygen plasma. The invention further relates to a method by which the semiconductor device may be easily manufactured and a display device or support plate comprising such a semiconductor device.

Abstract: A hypertext display system is described in which displayed hypertext links contain a marker indicating whether or not the unit of information to which the link leads has previously been visited by the user, the system being characterised in that the user can cause the display of further information regarding previous visits to that unit of information via a predetermined user input operation at a time when a display cursor is located within the boundaries of the marker. Active markers or footprints are employed associated with links leading to nodes the user has already visited. In one implementation using a graphical user interface, these markers are icons for timestamp windows. The user can activate the markers in order to decide whether or not to revisit the node.

Abstract: Apparatus for producing a magnetic field gradient for magnetic resonant imaging of the head of a subject employs two fingerprint coils disposed apart from each other, creating a generally cylindrical cavity in which subject's head is placed. A power supply provides current through the two fingerprint coils. The fingerprint coils are comprised of concentric current-carrying paths with each path being elongated along the length of the cylindrical cavity on only one end. The shape and geometry of the fingerprint coils create a magnetic field gradient that has high linearity inside the cavity, and monotonically decreases outside the cavity, thereby minimizing artifacts introduced by the body of the subject.
