    Abstract: A cathode structure (200, 203, 204) suitable for a flat panel display is provided with coated emitters (229, 239, 230). The emitters are formed with material, typically nickel, capable of growing to a high aspect ration. These emitters are then coated with carbon containing material (240, 241) for improving the chemical robustness and reducing the work function. One coating process is a DC plasma deposition process in which acetylene is pumped through a DC plasma reactor (301, 305, 313, and 315) to create a DC plasma for coating the cathode structure. An alternative coating process is to electrically deposit raw carbon-based material onto the surface of the emitters, and subsequently reduce the raw carbon-based material to the carbon containing material. Work function of coated emitters is typically reduced by about 0.8 to 1.0 eV.

    Abstract: The work function of electron emitters can be modified by forming a modifying layer at the surface using low energy ion implantation, in a controlled environment, placing chosen elements below the surface of electron emitters as Cs implanted in Si(100) at four different doses illustrates. Sometimes implanted species are deep enough that they do not react with the atmosphere during subsequent low-temperature processing. Then, species implanted in the emitting surfaces are segregated using elevated temperature treatment of the emitters in vacuum and/or reactive gases. The implanted ions modify the work function at the surface, via thin layers of the implanted species on top of the emitter surfaces, or compounds or alloy layers at the surface of the emitters. Depending on the implanted species, the initial emitter material, and the environment, these layers can either increase or decease the work function of the emitter.

    Abstract: The invention generally relates to the technical field of devices using the effect to emit electrons out of a solid into vacuum due to high electric field strength. Such devices are usually called field emission devices. The invention relates more specifically to the structure of a field emission device, to the method of fabricating a field emission device, and to the use of a multitude of field emission devices in the technical field of flat panel displays. The inventive structure of a field emission device (15) comprises an individual series resistor for each electron emitting tip (1), wherein the series resistor is formed by the tip (1) itself. The tip (1) comprises a body (9) of a first material with high resistivity and an at least partial coating (7) of a second material with low work function, wherein the body (9) of the first material forms the series resistor and the coating (7) of the second material provides for electron emission. The method for fabricating a field emission device (15) uses depositing and sacrificial layer etch back techniques to provide easy and precise control of tip height and shape and also easy and precise control of the tip-to-gate distance and geometry.
