Abstract: A solid state radiation sensitive field emitter cathode comprising a single crystal semiconductor member having a body portion with a uniform array of closely spaced and very sharp electron emitting projections from one surface in the form of needles or whisker like members. Electrons are emitted into vacuum when a planar-parallel positive anode is mounted in close proximity to the surface. The cathode is responsive to input radiation such as electrons or light directed onto the cathode in modifying the electron emission from the array of electron emitter projections. The method of manufacturing the cathode by providing a predetermined pattern or mosaic of islands of a material exhibiting a greater etch resistant property than the semiconductor material, on a wafer of a semiconductor material and then etching out between and beneath the islands to undercut to a point where the islands are supported by only a small whisker of the semiconductor material. Removal of the islands results in an electron emitter being exposed from beneath each island wherein carriers generated within the body portion and also carriers generated within the depletion regions of the tips deffuse to the electron emitter projections wherein establishment of a high electric field at the tips of the electron emitter projections results in electron emission primarily due to conduction band tunneling. The device provides about 106 emitting points of close proximity so as to effect photographic-like imaging.
