  • Abstract
    The fabrication and electrical characteristics of 200-nm chromium-gated silicon field emitters are reported. These gated emitters are the smallest yet reported. A turn-on voltage of approximately 35 V represents a sublinear scaling of device operating voltage with device size. Emitter failures appear to be very similar to failures of 2- mu m devices produced using the same process.<>
