Abstract

An electronic matrix array (30) and method for making same includes a plurality of first (32) and second (34) spaced apart address lines which cross each other at an angle and are spaced to form a plurality of crossover points therebetween. Diode means (36) between each of the crossover points establish selectable current paths through respective pairs of the first (32) and second (34) address lines. Each diode means (36) includes a body (40) of semiconductor material preferably comprised of amorphous silicon alloys and having a p-i-n- or n-i-p configuration and has an effective current conduction cross-sectional area formed by the overlapping juxtaposed common surface area of the address lines (32, 34). A method of making the array includes the steps of forming a continuous diode structure over a conductive substrate, forming a plurality of first and second spaced apart conductive address lines on opposite sides of the continuous diode structure, the second lines being formed by removing portions of said substrate which cross at an angle from said first address lines.
