    Abstract: A field emission cathode device and method for forming a field emission cathode device involve a cathode element having a field emission surface disposed in spaced-apart relation to a gate electrode element so as to define a gap between the field emission surface and the gate electrode element. The gate electrode element extends laterally between opposing anchored ends. The gate electrode element is arranged to deform away from the field emission surface in response to heat, so as to increase the gap between the field emission surface and the gate electrode element.

    Abstract: Emitter (3) and target (7) are arranged so as to face each other in vacuum chamber (1), and guard electrode (5) is provided at outer circumferential side of electron generating portion (31) of emitter (3). Emitter (3) is supported movably in both end directions of vacuum chamber (1) by emitter supporting unit (4) having movable body (40). To perform regeneration process of guard electrode (5), emitter is moved to no-discharge position by operating emitter supporting unit, and state in which field emission of electron generating portion (31) is suppressed is set, then by applying voltage across guard electrode (5), discharge is repeated. After regeneration process, by operating emitter supporting unit again, emitter is moved to discharge position, and state in which field emission of electron generating portion (31) is possible is set with movement of movable body (40) toward the other end side being restrained by movement restraining unit (6).
