Abstract

The demand for efficient electron sources in vacuum microelectronics is rising as devices become smaller and more integrated. Post-oxidation is an efficient method for passivating porous silicon (PS) to enhance the field emission performance of the PS-based electron emitter. This study reveals that electrochemical oxidation (ECO) in constant-voltage (CV) mode promotes more efficient and uniform oxidation of the PS layer without generating any surface crevices, as compared to the constant-current (CC) mode. The $11~\mu $ m thick PS layer, oxidized by the CV mode at 50 V for 20 min, achieves an unprecedented emission efficiency of 16.8% at a bias voltage of 28 V, positioning it as a promising on-chip electron source for future applications.
通过电化学氧化实现前所未有的高效率多孔硅基电子发射器
随着器件的小型化和集成化,真空微电子领域对高效电子源的需求日益增加。后氧化是一种有效的钝化多孔硅(PS)以提高其场发射性能的方法。该研究表明,与恒流(CC)模式相比,恒压(CV)模式下的电化学氧化(ECO)可以促进PS层更有效和均匀的氧化,而不会产生任何表面裂缝。该11~\mu $ m厚的PS层经CV模式在50 V下氧化20 min,在28 V偏置电压下实现了前所未有的16.8%的发射效率,使其成为未来应用前景广阔的片上电子源。
