Abstract
Provided with a method of fabricating a 200-250 nm short-wavelength optoelectronic device, which has a combination of an optical device with a plurality of acceleration electrodes and a field emission device with a plurality of acceleration electrodes, from a semiconductor having a 5-6 eV energe band gap, based on a principle that an electron-hole pair is produced using a highly energetic electron which is injected from a field emission device, and short-wavelength photons are emitted when the electron recombines with the hole and confined in a quantum well to emit a light corresponding to the energy level of the quantum well, thereby eliminating the need of using dopants for forming n-p junctions in the semiconductor and achieving high efficiency in terms of energy because highly energetic electrons result in one or more electron-hole pairs.
