Due to an increasing interest in the study of field emission emitters for vacuum microelectronic devices a variety of new designs on cold cathodes were reported. In this paper we will report a novel pressure sensor utilizing the field-emission from two cantilever beams on a thin pressure sensitive silicon diaphragm. A simulation of the normalized output current as a funcfion of applied pressure is presented. Results of experimental cantilever-beam field-emission pressure sensor and some of the emission phenomena are reported.
