    Abstract: A method for fabricating an electron emitter is provided. The method is comprised of implanting ions into a diamond lattice (10) to form cones (11a) or other continuous regions of damaged diamond (11). These regions (11) are more electrically conducting than the surrounding diamond lattice, and have locally sharp tips (13) at or near the point of enntry of the ion into the diamond. The tips (13) may then also be additionally coated with a layer of a wide band-gap semiconductor. An electrically conducting material (16) may also be placed in proximity to the tips (13) to generate an electric field sufficient to extract electrons from the conducting tips (13) into either the region above the surface, or into the wide band-gap semiconductor layer (18) in contact with the tips (13). The surface of the wideband gap semiconductor (18) or diamond may be chemically modified to enhance the emission of electrons from the surface.

    Abstract: A field emitter cell (10) includes a thin film edge emitter (22) normal to a gate layer (18). The field emitter is a multilayer structure including a low work function material sandwiched between two protective layers. The field emitter may be fabricated from a composite starting structure including a conductive substrate layer (12), an insulation layer (16), a standoff layer (24) and a gate layer (18), with a perforation (20) extending from the gate layer into the substrate layer. The emitter material is conformally deposited by chemical beam deposition along the sidewalls of the perforation. Alternatively, the starting material may be a conductive substrate having a protrusion thereon. The emitter layer, standoff layer, insulation layer, and gate layer are sequentially deposited, and the unwanted portions of each are preferentially removed to provide the desired structure.
