    Abstract: A field emission cathode providing for dynamic adjustment of beam shape is disclosed. Beam shape adjustment is accomplished by segmenting the gate electrode of a gated field emission cathode and independently driving the various gate segments to form the desired beam shape. Segments can be turned on and off as the beam is deflected allowing dynamic correction of aberrations in the beam. A focus lens can be placed on the gated cathode to produce a parallel electron beam. In addition, a hollow cathode can be produced to minimize space charge repulsion in a beam.

    Abstract: A field emission cathode providing for dynamic adjustment of beam shape is disclosed. Beam shape adjustment is accomplished by segmenting the gate electrode (17) of a gated field emission cathode and independently driving t he various gate segments to form the desired beam shape. Segments can be turned on and off as the beam is deflected allowing the dynamic correction of aberrations in the beam. A focus lens (32) can be placed on the gated cathod e to produce a parallel electron beam. In addition, a hollow cathode can be produced to minimize space charge repulsion in a beam.

    Abstract: An electron field emission device is provided by placing a substrate in a reactor, heating the substrate and supplying a mixture of hydrogen and a carbon-containing gas at a concentration of about 8 to 13 per cent to the reactor while supplying energy to the mixture of gases near the substrate for a time to grow a first layer of carbon-based material to a thickness greater than about 0.5 micrometers, subsequently reducing the concentration of the carbon-containing gas and continuing to grow a second layer of carbon-based material, the second layer being much thicker than the first layer. The substrate is subsequently removed from the first layer and an electrode is applied to the second layer. The device is free-standing and can be used as a cold cathode in a variety of electronic devices such as cathode ray tubes, amplifiers and traveling wave tubes. The surface of the substrate may be patterned before growth of the first layer to produce a patterned surface on the field emission device.

    Abstract: A source of a focused electron beam is provided for use in a cathode ray tube (CRT) or vacuum microelectronic device. A carbon-based field emission cathode, extraction gate and focus lens are formed as an integrated structure using fabrication techniques that are used to form integrated circuits. An external focus lens is used to confine the beamlets from a large number of carbon-based surfaces. A convergence cup accelerates the beam toward a drift space and finally to a screen on a CRT or other device. The source may be much more compact than present CRT electron optics apparatus.
