Yh. Lee et al., Realization of gated field emitters for electrophotonic applications usingcarbon nanotube line emitters directly grown into submicrometer holes, ADVAN MATER, 13(7), 2001, pp. 479
Carbon nanotube field emission pixels with gate electrodes are reported to
have been fabricated for the first time. The interesting electronic applica
tion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as field electron emitters had not been rea
lized previously because of the difficulty of achieving precisely controlle
d selective growth of CNTs within a hole of diameter -1 mum (see Figure).
