The field emission arrays of SiC sharp emitter tips have been produced for
the first time by use of the transfer mold technique. The test structures o
f active gun, containing approximately 3 x 10(4) of emitters, were prepared
. The field emission current and work function calculations for SiC emitter
arrays have been presented. (C) 2000 American Vacuum Society. [S0734-211X(
