Abstract

A silicon substrate is used as the substrate, on which a conical projection is formed as a cathode. A gate electrode is arranged via an insulating film formed on the substrate. The gate electrode is formed so as to enclose and encircle the cathode while the pointed portion of the cathode and the surface of the gate electrode are coated with two layered coating films.
