ABSTRACT:
A multiple electrode field electron emission device is formed on an insulating layer disposed on a surface of an insulated flat substrate and has a cathode with multiple of emission projections each having a projection tip that overhangs the insulating layer. The device further includes an anode for collecting electrons ejected from the cathode emission projections formed on the surface of the substrate. Control electrodes, having one of several alternate configurations, are formed between the cathode and the anode. The device is fabricated using over-etching and directional particulate deposition techniques.
