Abstract
According to this process a structure is produced comprising an insulating substrate (10) carrying at least one cathode conductor (12), an insulating layer (14), a gate layer (16), holes being formed through these layers, level with the cathode conductor. In the holes are formed microtips made from a metallic material by forming a protective insulating layer (50) on the gate layer, forming a chemical deposit (60) of the metallic material at the bottom of the holes until said material overflows therefrom, by eliminating the protective layer and by electrolytically etching the metallic material. Application to the manufacture of flat screens.
