            Abstract : 
In this study, nanoelectron sources have been fabricated using a beam-assisted maskless process alone. The process uses chemical reactions by electron beam (EB) or focused ion beam (FIB) in various gas atmospheres. The gate diameter, shape and emitter height of nano electron sources can be freely designed and fabricated. The I-V characteristics of fabricated nano-electron sources have been measured.
