    Abstract: A method of manufacturing field-emitter arrays by a molding technique includes uniformly controlling a shape of mold holes to obtain field emitter tips having diameters below 100 nm and blunted side edges. Repeated oxidation and etching of a mold substrate formed of single-crystal semiconductor mold wafers is carried out, wherein the mold holes for individual emitters are fabricated by utilizing the crystal orientation dependence of the etching rate.

    Abstract: A method of producing field emitters having improved brightness and durability relying on the creation of a liquid Taylor cone from electrically conductive materials having high melting points. The method calls for melting the end of a wire substrate with a focused laser beam, while imposing a high positive potential on the material. The resulting molten Taylor cone is subsequently rapidly quenched by cessation of the laser power. Rapid quenching is facilitated in large part by radiative cooling, resulting in structures having characteristics closely matching that of the original liquid Taylor cone. Frozen Taylor cones thus obtained yield desirable tip end forms for field emission sources in electron beam applications. Regeneration of the frozen Taylor cones in-situ is readily accomplished by repeating the initial formation procedures. The high temperature liquid Taylor cones can also be employed as bright ion sources with chemical elements previously considered impractical to implement.

    Abstract: A method for producing a nanotip from a tip material provides a substrate which consists of the tip material or has the material in the form of a coating, produces a mask from a mask material selected so that, in a predefined reactive ion etching process, the mask material is removed at a lower etching rate than the tip material, and carries out the reactive ion etching process in an etching chamber. The mask material is additionally selected so that a gaseous component is released therefrom during the reactive ion etching process, the gaseous component not being released from the tip material. The method further comprises detecting the gaseous component while the ion etching process is being carried out, repeatedly determining whether an amount of the gaseous component in the etching chamber reaches a predefined lower threshold, and stopping the reactive ion etching process when the lower threshold is reached.

    Abstract: Methods for fabrication of self-aligned gated tip arrays are described. The methods are performed on a multilayer structure that includes a substrate, an intermediate layer that includes a dielectric material disposed over at least a portion of the substrate, and at least one gate electrode layer disposed over at least a portion of the intermediate layer. The method includes forming a via through at least a portion of the at least one gate electrode layer. The via through the at least one gate electrode layer defines a gate aperture. The method also includes etching at least a portion of the intermediate layer proximate to the gate aperture such that an emitter structure at least partially surrounded by a trench is formed in the multilayer structure.
