High brightness electron sources are of great importance for the operation of the hard X-ray free electron lasers. Field emission cathodes based on the double-gate metallic field emitter arrays (FEAs) can potentially offer higher brightness than the currently used ones.
We report on the successful application of electron beam lithography for fabrication of the large-scale single-gate as well as double-gate FEAs. We demonstrate operational high-density single-gate FEAs with sub-micron pitch and total number of tips up to 106 as well as large-scale double-gate FEAs with large collimation gate apertures. The details of design, fabrication procedure and successful measurements of the emission current from the single- and double-gate cathodes are presented.
