POINT STRUCTURES, DEVICES BUILT AROUND THEM, AND THEIR MANUFACTURING METHODS

摘要

FIELD: field-effect emissive electronics. ^ SUBSTANCE: novel design alternates are proposed for electronic devices, such as scanning probes and field-effect transistors, built around point structures. Points are made of whiskers grown from gas phase using steam-liquid-crystal mechanism. New mechanical designs are proposed for manufacturing field-effect emitters and probes for magnetic, electrostatic, morphologic, and other investigations using specific technology. New mechanical designs are also proposed for manufacturing multilever probes. ^ EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of emission due to enlarged number of emitters having same spatial value. ^ 74 cl, 23 dwg, 8 ex
