Method of manufacturing electron-emitting device, method of manufacturing electron source, and method of manufacturing image display device
First Claim
1. A method of manufacturing an electron-emitting device, comprising:
- (A) arranging on a substrate a member comprising a first electroconductive layer blanketing the substrate, a layer containing at least one of materials composing an electron-emitting element blanketing the first electroconductive layer, a protective layer blanketing the layer containing at least one of materials forming an electron-emitting element, a second electroconductive layer blanketing the protective layer, an insulating layer blanketing the second electroconductive layer, and a third electroconductive layer blanketing the insulating layer;
(B) forming an opening, which extends from a surface of the third electroconductive layer to the protective layer, by dry etching; and
(C) wet-etching the protective layer through the opening to expose a portion of the layer containing at least one of the materials forming the electron-emitting element.

Abstract
To provide a method of manufacturing an electron-emitting device, which has an easy manufacturing process and preferably controls an electron beam diameter. The method of manufacturing an electron-emitting device includes: arranging on a substrate a member comprising a first electroconductive layer blanketing the substrate, a layer containing at least one of materials composing an electron-emitting element blanketing the first electroconductive layer, a protective layer blanketing the layer containing at least one of materials composing an electron-emitting element, a second electroconductive layer blanketing the protective layer, an insulating layer blanketing the second electroconductive layer, and a third electroconductive layer blanketing the insulating layer; forming an opening, which extends from a surface of the third electroconductive layer to the protective layer, by dry etching; and wet-etching the protective layer through the opening to expose a portion of the layer containing at least one of the materials composing the electron-emitting element.
