<p>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. <IMAGE></p> |
