A method for producing a vacuum microelectronics device ( 10 ) on a substrate ( 12 ) and insulating dielectric (14) first forms an electrode base (16) on the insulating dielectric (14). Next, electrode base (16) is covered with a first organic spacer (42) having an aperture (44) for exposing a portion of electrode base (16). Next, a metal layer (46) is applied over organic spacer (42) to form emitter (18) within aperture (44). After removal of organic spacer (42) and metal layer (46), a second organic spacer (44) and a grid material (20) are applied over emitter (18) and electrode base (16). Next, a third organic spacer (50) and an anode metal (22) with access apertures ( 34 ) and ( 36 ) are placed over the structure. After removing organic spacers (48) and (50), anode metal (22) is sealed with metal (26) to close off access apertures ( 34 ) and ( 36 ). The result is a vacuum microelectronics device (10) usable is a triode or diode.
