Abstract
A linear relationship between the level of field emission current and adjacent vacuum environment is experimentally observed over a wide range of vacuum condition. A gated-field-emission triode with its emitter tip apex above the gate electrode can survive under much worse vacuum environments and make the measurements possible. Improved transconductance is also reported with such a robust structure.
