    Abstract: A diamond electron source in which a single sharpened tip is formed at one end of a pillar-shaped diamond monocrystal of a size for which resist application is difficult in a microfabrication process, as an electron emission point used in an electron microscope or other electron beam device, and a method for manufacturing the diamond electron source.
    One end of a pillar-shaped diamond monocrystal 10 is ground to form a smooth flat surface 11, and a ceramic layer 12 is formed on the smooth flat surface 11. A thin-film layer 14 having a prescribed shape is deposited on the ceramic layer 12 using a focused ion beam device, after which the ceramic layer 12 is patterned by etching using the thin-film layer 14 as a mask. A single sharpened tip is formed at one end of the pillar-shaped diamond monocrystal 10 by dry etching using the resultant ceramic mask.

    Abstract: Spindt-type field-emission cathodes for use in electric propulsion (EP) systems having self- assembling nanostructures that can repeatedly regenerate damaged cathode emitter nanotips. A nanotip is created by applying a negative potential near the surface of a liquefied base metal to create a Taylor cone converging to a nanotip, and solidifying the Taylor cone for use as a field- emission cathode. When the nanotip of the Taylor cone becomes sufficiently blunted or damaged to affect its utility, the base metal is re-liquefied by application of a heat source, a negative potential is reapplied to the surface of the base metal to recreate the Taylor cone, and a new nanotip is generated by solidifying the base metal.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a diamond electron source and its manufacturing method wherein one sharp-pointed section as an electron emission point for use in an electron beam device such as an electron microscope is formed at one end of a columnar diamond single crystal having a size where resist coating is difficult in a microfabrication process. SOLUTION: One end of the columnar diamond single crystal 10 is polished to form a smooth flat surface 11, and a ceramic layer 12 is formed on the smooth flat surface 11. After a thin film layer 14 having a predetermined shape is deposited on the ceramic layer 12 by using a focused ion beam system, the ceramic layer 12 is patterned by etching using the thin film layer 14 as a mask. One sharp-pointed section is formed at the one end of the columnar diamond single crystal 10 by dry etching using the formed ceramic mask. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
