            Abstract : 
Experimental characteristics of the double-gate race-track-shaped field emitter structure are demonstrated for the first time. To minimize the gate current, a novel double-gate emitter-sharpened structure is presented. This structure has low turn-on voltage and low gate current. It is very suitable for practical applications.
