    Abstract: A gated electron-emitter is fabricated according to the process in which charged particles are directed towards a track-susceptible layer (48) to form charged-particle tracks (50B.sub.1) through the track-susceptible layer. Apertures (52.sub.1) are formed through the track-susceptible layer by etching along the charged-particle tracks. A gate layer (46) is etched through the apertures to form gate openings (54.sub.1) through the gate layer. An insulating layer (24) is etched through the gate openings to form dielectric open spaces (56.sub.1, 94.sub.1, 106.sub.1, or 114.sub.1) through the insulating layer down to a resistive layer (22B) of an underlying conductive region (22). Electron-emissive elements (30B, 30/88D.sub.1, 98/102.sub.1, or 118.sub.1) are formed in the dielectric open spaces over the resistive layer.

    Abstract: A method for creating a solid layer (36A or 52A) through which openings (38 or 54) extend entails subjecting particles (30) suspended in a fluid (26) to an electric field (E.sub.A) to cause a number of the particles to move towards, and accumulate over, a structure placed in the fluid. The structure, including the so-accumulated particles, is removed from the fluid. Solid material is deposited over the structure at least in the space between the so-accumulated particles. The particles, including any overlying material (36B or 52B), are removed. The remaining solid material forms the solid layer through which openings extend at the locations of the so-removed particles. The structure is typically a layer is then typically either a gate layer for the electron-emitting device or a layer used in forming the gate layer.

    Abstract: An electron emitter suitable for a flat-panel CRT display is fabricated by a process in which charged particles are passed through a track layer (144) to create charged-particle tracks (146.sub.1). The track layer is etched along the tracks to form apertures (148.sub.1) that are employed in defining corresponding cap regions (150A) over an underlying emitter layer (142). After removing the track layer, part of the emitter layer is removed using the cap regions as masks to control the extent of the emitter material removed. Electron-emissive elements (142D), typically in the shape of cones, are thereby formed in the remainder (142C) of the emitter layer. The electron emitter can also be provided with a gate electrode (158C).

    Abstract: An electron emitter contains a gate layer (38), an underlying dielectric layer (36), an intermediate non-insulating layer (34) situated below the dielectric layer, and a lower non-insulating region (32) situated below the intermediate non-insulating layer. A multiplicity of electron-emissive particles (42) are situated over the non-insulating region at the bottom of an opening (40) extending through the three layers. The ratio of the thickness of the dielectric layer to the thickness of the intermediate non-insulating layer is in the range of 1:1 to 4:1, while the ratio of the mean diameter of the opening to the thickness of the intermediate non-insulating layer is in the range 1:1 to 10:1. The presence of the intermediate non-insulating layer improves the collimation of the beam of electrons emitted from the electron-emissive elements. The electron emitter is manufactured according to a simple, readily controllable process.
