1. A method of fabricating a cathode plate comprising the steps of:
- forming a layer of conductive material on a face of a substrate;
patterning and etching the layer of conductive material to define a plurality of cathode stripes spaced between exposed regions of the substrate;
forming a plurality of spacers disposed on said exposed regions of the substrate; and
selectively forming a plurality of diamond emitter regions on selected areas of the cathode stripes.
