TL;DR: In this paper, a method has been found for preparing uniform silicon tips with a radius of curvature less than 1 nm, formed by oxidation of 5μm-high silicon cones through exploitation of a known oxidation inhibition of silicon at regions of high curvature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling and fabricating micro-cavity integrated vacuum tubes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the modeling and fabrication of vacuum, field-emission diodes and triodes for use in electronics in hazardous environments, using the sacrificial layer technique to produce the device on a silicon wafer.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A progress report on the Livermore Miniature Vacuum Tube Project
TL;DR: In this article, the design and building of micron-sized vacuum diodes and triodes using the sacrificial layer process is discussed, and the devices use silicon field emitters etched into the surface of a silicon wafer.
