Abstract
A high curvature diamond field emitter tip fabrication method includes forming on a substrate a diamond film composed of square (100) phase-oriented facets and (111) phase-oriented facets distributed thereabout and columnar diamond particles having defect density differences between the diamond formed beneath the (100) and (111) diamond growth facets, and etching the diamond film using a oxygen-containing gas plasma. Further, the method includes forming on a substrate a diamond film composed of square (100) facets and (111) facets distributed thereabout and columnar diamond particles having defect density differences between the diamond formed beneath the (100) and (111) diamond growth facets, forming a supporting film on the diamond film, removing the substrate therefrom, and etching the diamond film using an oxygen-containing gas plasma after any one of the previously described steps.
