ABSTRACT:
A field emission device has a basic substrate whose surface is coated with a conductive layer that forms an electrode. A field emission emitter which is formed as a micro-tip, is electrically connected to the electrode. Between the micro-tip and the electrode, a current limiting resistive silicon film is arranged and the resistivity of the silicon film is adjusted to be in a value ranging from about 10.sup.2 to about 10.sup.5 .OMEGA.cm by an n- or p-dopant. The silicon film contains an alloying element which would be able to form a silicon ceramic if used in a stoichiometric amount but would not be able to dope the silicon.
