Abstract

See full text

A method for forming a substantially uniform array of atomically sharp emitter tips, comprising: patterning a substrate with a mask, thereby defining an array; isotropically etching the array to form pointed tips; and removing the mask when substantially all of the tips have become sharp. A mask having a composition and dimensions which enable the mask to remain balanced on the apex of the tips until all of the tips are of substantially the same shape is used to form the array of substantially uniform tips.
