Structure and method for thin film device

A TFD device, comprising:

• a. a substrate;
• b. a gate provided by a plurality of parallel spaced electrically conductive strips upon the substrate;
• c. a channel disposed above the gate, the channel transverse to the conductive strips;
• and
• d. a source electrode and a drain electrode aligned to the channel.

An active matrix TFD device with nano-gaps in the gate electrode, comprising:

• a. a substrate;
• b. a plurality of parallel gate controls dispersed upon the substrate, each gate control provided by parallel spaced electrically conductive strips;
• c. a plurality of channels, each disposed upon a gate control transverse to the conductive strips;
• d. a plurality of electrically isolated data lines, each data line electrically coupled to at least one channel;
• and
• e. a plurality of individually bounded electrodes, each coupled to a channel opposite from a data line.
