Abstract

A method for use in manufacture of field emitter devices is provided specifically for forming electron emitter tips in a doped semiconductor substrate. The method comprises the following steps: forming a depression around an emitter area in the substrate; doping the substrate in the depression; and expanding the dopant in the depression into the emitter area.
