The present invention is directed to a method for the fabrication of electron field emitter devices, including carbon nanotube (CNT) field emission devices. The method of the present invention involves depositing one or more electrically conductive thin-film layers onto a electrically conductive substrate and performing lithography and etching on these thin film layers to pattern them into the desired shapes. The top-most layer may be of a material type that acts as a catalyst for the growth of single- or multiple-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Subsequently, the substrate is etched to form a high-aspect ratio post or pillar structure onto which the previously patterned thin film layers are positioned. Carbon nanotubes may be grown on the catalyst material layer. The present invention also described methods by which the individual field emission devices may be singulated into individual die from a substrate.

A neutron generator includes an ion source disposed in a pressurized environment containing an ionizable gas. The ion source includes a substrate with a bundle of carbon nanotubes extending therefrom. The ends of the nanotubes are spaced from a grid. Ion source voltage supply circuitry supplies a positive voltage potential between the substrate and the grid of the ion source to cause ionization of the ionizable gas and emission of ions through the grid. An ion accelerator section is disposed between the ion source and a target. The ion accelerator section accelerates ions that pass through the grid towards the target such that collisions of the ions with the target cause the target to generate and emit neutrons therefrom. The ion source, accelerator section and target are housed in a sealed tube and preferably the carbon nanotubes of the bundle are highly ordered with at least 106 carbon nanotubes per cm2 that extend in a direction substantially parallel to the central axis of the tube. The neutron generator provides gas ionization at much higher atomic to molecular ratio that the prior art, which allows for small compact size designs suitable for logging tools that are used in space-constrained downhole environments.

An alternating stack of layers of a first epitaxial semiconductor material and a second epitaxial semiconductor material is formed on a substrate. A fin stack is formed by patterning the alternating stack into a shape of a fin having a parallel pair of vertical sidewalls. After formation of a disposable gate structure and an optional gate spacer, raised active regions can be formed on end portions of the fin stack. A planarization dielectric layer is formed, and the disposable gate structure is subsequently removed to form a gate cavity. A crystallographic etch is performed on the first epitaxial semiconductor material to form vertically separated pairs of an upright triangular semiconductor nanowire and an inverted triangular semiconductor nanowire. Portions of the epitaxial disposable material are subsequently removed. After an optional anneal, the gate cavity is filled with a gate dielectric and a gate electrode to form a field effect transistor.
