We have investigated field-emission devices for applications in sensors, diagnostics, and micro-electronics. Field-emission devices micromachined from silicon and molybdenum have been fabricated and tested. Experimental results have shown that the presence of nitrogen gas molecules for pressures up to 1 mtorr has only a moderate impact on device emission performance, and has no long term effect on device operation. These results demonstrate that field-emission cathodes can potentially be used in sensors applications where gas ionization by election impact is desirable, or other applications in which the field-emission device is exposed to less than ideal vacuum conditions
