We present in this paper the characteristics of field emission cathodes consisting of a large number of micron-sized tips, arranged at the surface of a component and realized by using thin film technology. Theoretical results concerning the current-voltage characteristics are presented, as well as the measured properties of cathodes prepared in our laboratory : a current of about 100 μA is emitted at 60 V by a 1 mm2 surface comprising 10 000 microtips ; the emitting area is about 10 Å 2 per tip and the field about 5 x 109 Vm-1. We consider next the energy distribution of the emitted electrons : the expected theoretical results and the experimental methods are presented. The experiment exhibits a voltage drop at the interface between the tip...
