In this work we will describe the fabrication of planar nanoscale multi-tip vacuum field emission devices for frequency conversion. These devices operate via Fowler-Nordheim emission, namely the quantum mechanical tunneling of electrons through the surface potential barrier by means of a high electrostatic field. By virtue of a planar geometry that minimizes the overlapping area between the electrical terminals, very low capacitance can be achieved for fast operation. Preliminary results to lower the emitter work function and enchance emission current will also be discussed.
