Abstract
In this letter the effect of active current limitation on the reliabil ity and performance of cold-cathode emitters produced using nanometric fabrication techniques is described. MOSFET limiters were compared al ong with resistor-limiters and unlimited field emission devices. It is shown that active limiters have the ability to quench discharges befo re serious damage occurs.
