Next, a dielectric layer is formed over the substrate, and a patterned gate layer is formed on the dielectric layer. Thereafter, a backside exposure process is carried out using the emitters as a mask, and portions of the dielectric layer not masked by the emitters react with a light used in the backside exposure process. Next, portions of the dielectric layer not exposed to the light and portions of the gate layer are removed to form via holes and gate holes.
