Abstract
A cathode structure for a field emission device, which is an essential component of a field emission device, and a method of fabricating the same are provided. An emitter material for electron emission constituting cathodes is formed in a particulate emitter, the particulate emitter is formed of a material from which electrons can be easily emitted at a low electric field. A significant advantage of the present invention over a conventional art is that the present invention patterns an emitter material to a cathode electrode using a photolithography process or a lift-off process. In the lift-off process, the emitting compound is patterned using a sacrifice layer. Also, in another embodiment of the present invention, there is disclosed a method of easily fabricating cathodes for a triode-type field emission device using a particulate emitter material at a low process temperature. Therefore, the present invention provides a method of fabricating a cathode for a triode-type field emission device using particulate emitter that is synthesized at a high temperature of 600° C. over, as the emitter material.
