Abstract

A method for fabricating a micro-field emission gun including the steps of providing an insulator slab, formed with a penetrating hole acting as a passage of an electron beam, upon a gate electrode of the micro-field emission gun, such that the penetrating hole is aligned with an emitter of the micro-field gun, bonding an insulator slab upon the gate electrode by means of an anodic bonding process, and providing an acceleration electrode on the insulator slab such that the acceleration electrode covers a surface of said insulator slab facing away from said gate electrode, except for a passage of the electron beam.
