Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2793068A1] The invention concerns a device comprising at least an electron source with field effect in a closed structure defining an internal space which contains a reducing gas for oxidising the material emitting the electron source. The invention is characterised in that the reducing gas comprises a gas of formula NxHy with x = 1 or 2 and y = 3 or 4, advantageously under pressure ranging between 10<-8> mbar and 10<-1> mbar. The invention also concerns methods for making such a device and appliances therefor.
