Abstract
A method of characterization for arrays of vertical field emitters, which m akes use of an anode of micron-sized dimensions, is presented. Modeling res ults reveal that the emission current for probe anodes varies in a similar way as for large dimension anodes. Practical rules are derived for the corr ect interpretation of the experimental data.
