Abstract: An electron-emitting device (20, 70, 80, or 90) contains an electrode, either a control electrode (38) or an emitter electrode (32), having a specified portion situated off to the side of the bulk of the electrode. For a control electrode, the specified portion is an exposure portion (38EA or 38EB) having openings that expose electron-emissive elements (50A or 50B) situated over an emitter electrode. For an emitter electrode, the specified portion is an emitter-coupling portion situated below at least one electron-emissive element exposed through at least one opening in a control electrode. Configuring the device in this way enables the control-electrode-to-emitter-electrode capacitance to be quite small, thereby enhancing the device's switching speed. If the specified portion of the electrode becomes short circuited to the other electrode, the short-circuit defect can be removed by severing the specified portion from the remainder of its electrode.

Abstract translation: 电子发射器件（20,70,80或90）包含电极，控制电极（38）或发射极（32），其具有位于电极本体侧面的特定部分。 对于控制电极，指定部分是具有露出位于发射极上方的电子发射元件（50A或50B）的开口的曝光部分（38EA或38EB）。 对于发射电极，指定的部分是位于通过控制电极中的至少一个开口暴露的至少一个电子发射元件下方的发射极耦合部分。 以这种方式配置器件使控制电极对发射极之间的电容非常小，从而提高器件的开关速度。 如果电极的指定部分与另一个电极短路，则可以通过从电极的其余部分切断指定部分来消除短路缺陷。

Abstract: A method of fabricating row lines and pixel openings of a field emission array. The method employs only two masks. A first mask employed in the method includes apertures alignable between rows of pixels of the field emission array. Electrically conductive material and semiconductive material exposed through the apertures are removed to define the row lines of the field emission array. A passivation layer is then disposed over at least selected portions of the field emission array. Then a second mask, including apertures alignable over the pixel regions of the field emission array, is disposed over the passivation layer of the field emission array. Passivation material exposed through the apertures of the second mask is removed to define openings through the passivation layer and over the pixel regions of the field emission array. Conductive material exposed through the apertures of the second mask may then be removed to expose the underlying semiconductive grid and to further define the pixel openings.

Abstract: A source of a focused electron beam is provided for use in a cathode ray tube (CRT) or vacuum microelectronic device. A carbon-based field emission cathode, extraction gate and focus lens are formed as an integrated structure using fabrication techniques that are used to form integrated circuits. An external focus lens is used to confine the beamlets from a large number of carbon-based surfaces. A convergence cup accelerates the beam toward a drift space and finally to a screen on a CRT or other device. The source may be much more compact than present CRT electron optics apparatus.
