Abstract: Lateral cathode field emission devices and methods of fabrication are set forth. Conventional integrated circuit fabrication techniques are advantageously used to produce the lateral FEDs. Cathode tips on the order of several hundred angstroms are consistently obtained as well as exact spacing of the cathode to gate and cathode to anode. Various cathode and device configurations are described, including a circular field emission device. A single integrated structure having multiple cathodes and multiple gates is possible to perform various logic operations and/or enhance current output from the device. Multiple field effect devices, with cathodes disposed parallel or perpendicular to the substrate, are integrally coupled through a sharing of one or more metallization layers definitive of the elements of the devices. Significant advantages in current density and circuit layout can be obtained. Methods for fabricating the various devices are also explained.

Abstract: A marking attachment for attachment to a linear or angle-measuring system has a support, means for attaching the support to the measuring device, a marking element attached to the support for marking on a surface (the marking element having a predetermined height), and a resilient element whereby the marking element is maintained in a spaced-apart relationship to the surface until the support is moved in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface to contact the surface with the marking material for marking the surface. The marking element preferably comprises a marking material including an oleate-based pigment ink for marking the surface. The resilient element for maintaining the marking element in a spaced-apart relationship to the surface preferably comprises a quantity of elastomeric material disposed adjacent to marking element, the quantity of elastomeric material having an uncompressed thickness greater than the height of marking element. The resilient element may have an aperture generally surrounding the marking element or may consist of two or more pieces disposed alongside the marking element. Various embodiments have features including a cursor aligned with the marking element and/or including a modular, removable, and replaceable marking element. Any combination of the attachment's support, means for attaching, marking element, and resilient element may be made removable and replaceable.
