A Field Emitter Array (FEA) is a type of electron emitter technology that utilizes a densely packed array of nanoscale field emitters to produce electrons for various applications, primarily in vacuum devices and electronic components. The key principle behind FEAs is the phenomenon of field emission, whereby electrons are emitted from a sharp tip (or an array of tips) when subjected to a strong electric field.
