Abstract:
A field emission device (5) includes cathodes (51), emitters (52) formed on the cathodes, grid electrodes (54) formed over the cathodes at a distance apart from the emitters respectively, and an isolated film (55) formed on first surfaces of each two neighboring grid electrodes. Preferably, the isolated film has a thickness ranging from 0.1 to 1 microns. The isolated film may be a film made of one or more insulating materials, such as SiO2 and Si3N4. Alternatively, the one or more insulating materials can be selected from a material having a high secondary electron emission coefficient, such as MgO, Al2O3, and ZnO. Additionally, the isolated film can be further formed on a second surface of the grid electrode apart from the emitter.

Abstract:
An electron beam window 20 is formed with six diamond panes 21 to transmit an electron beam 15. The panes 21 are formed in a cylindrical disc 17 of single crystal or of polycrystalline diamond such that each pane 21 is surrounded by a thicker integral peripheral rim 22 which conducts heat away from the panes 21. A heat sink ring 35 can be fitted to the outer cylindrical surface of the peripheral rim 22. A scanning means 36 indexes the electron beam 15 sequentially through each pane 21. The use of diamond panes reduces the electron beam energy converted to heat in each pane 21, the thicker peripheral rim 22 increases cooling of the panes 21, and the scanning movement 37 reduces the temperature rise of the panes 21.
Abstract:
A field emission device having emitter tips and a support layer for a gate electrode is provided. Openings in the support layer and the gate layer are sized to provide mechanical support for the gate electrode. Cavities may be formed and mechanically supported by walls between cavities or columns within a cavity. Dielectric layers having openings of different sizes between the emission tips and the gate electrode can decrease leakage current between emitter tips and the gate layer. The emitter tips may comprise a carbon-based material. The device can be formed using processing operations similar to those used in conventional semiconductor device manufacturing.

Gate holes are formed within the respective pixels by partially removing the gate electrodes and the insulating layer. Each pixel is divided into a central pixel region and a peripheral pixel region.
