1. A method of manufacturing carbon nanotube emitters, the method comprising:
- forming a carbon nanotube layer on a substrate on which a plurality of electrodes are formed;
coating a photoresist on the carbon nanotube layer;
patterning the photoresist such that the photoresist only remains above the electrodes;
removing an exposed portion of the carbon nanotube layer by etching using the patterned photoresist as a etch mask; and
removing the patterned photoresist and forming the carbon nanotube emitters on the electrodes.

Abstract
A method of forming carbon nanotube emitters and a method of manufacturing an FED using such carbon nanotube emitters includes: forming a carbon nanotube layer on a substrate on which a plurality of electrodes are formed, coating a photoresist on the carbon nanotube layer, patterning the photoresist such that the photoresist only remains above the electrodes, removing an exposed portion of the carbon nanotube layer by etching using the patterned photoresist as a etch mask, and removing the photoresist pattern and forming the carbon nanotube emitters on the electrodes.

6. A method of manufacturing a Field Emission Device (FED) comprising:
-
sequentially forming a cathode, an insulating layer, and a gate electrode on a substrate; forming an emitter aperture exposing a portion of the cathode by etching the insulating layer and the gate electrode; forming a carbon nanotube layer on the gate electrode, the insulating layer, and the cathode; coating a photoresist on the carbon nanotube layer; patterning the photoresist such that the photoresist remains in only a central portion at the bottom of the emitter aperture; removing an exposed portion of the carbon nanotube layer by etching using the patterned photoresist as an etch mask; and removing the patterned photoresist and forming carbon nanotube emitters on the cathode in the emitter aperture. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
