    Abstract: An electron beam source is provided with an electron forming means such as a doped layer of Si for forming conduction band electrons near the surface of the pointed tip of a needle-shaped structure while suppressing emission of electrons from a valence band. The surface of the pointed tip of the needle-shaped structure is formed with a single-crystal semiconductor or insulator. Preferably a surface passivation layer and/or a highly doped layer is formed on the surface of the needle-shaped structure. Also, means for exciting electrons in a valence band may be provided. An electron beam source apparatus and electron beam apparatus incorporating the electron beam source as defined above are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A cathode (e.g., a Schottky emission cathode) having an electron emitter of a tungsten single-crystal with a sharp point, and a heater connected to the electron emitter to heat it. The work function of the crystal face of the point of the electron emitter is reduced by providing adsorbed thereon a nitride of Zr, Ti, Y, Nb, Sc, V or La, or an oxide of Y, Sc, V or La. The nitride or oxide can be formed as a reservoir on the heater (from where it thermally diffuses to the point), or chemically adsorbed on the point. For forming the nitride or oxide on the point, the metal forming the nitride or oxide can be provided on the point and reacted with nitrogen or oxygen thereat to form the nitride or oxide; to provide the metal on the point, the metal forming the nitride or oxide can either be evaporated onto the point, or can form a reservoir on the heater and thermally diffuse therefrom to the point. The effect of reducing the work function results in a cathode having a narrow FWHM (full width at half maximum) of emission electrons and a high current density.

    Abstract: A system and method is available for fabricating a field emitter device, where in an emitter material, such as copper, is deposited over a resistive layer which has been deposited upon a substrate. Two ion beam sources are utilized. The first ion beam source is directed at a target material, such as molybdenum, for sputtering molybdenum onto the emitter material. The second ion beam source is utilized to etch the emitter material to produce cones or micro-tips. A low work function material, such as amorphous diamond, is then deposited over the micro-tips.

    Abstract: A field emission device and method for manufacturing which comprises using a diffusion mask to preserve an area of a silicon substrate for use as a cathode while all around the cathode the substrate is being diffused with oxygen to form an insulating layer. And further comprising depositing a molybdenum gate electrode layer on the insulating layer and etching the molybdenum gate electrode layer such that the diffusion mask falls off and the insulating layer is dissolved around the cathode through the hole formed in the gate electrode layer by the diffusion mask being removed. The gate electrode openings are therefore automatically and independently self-aligned with their respective cathodes.
