Single SRI Spindt-type emitter tips have been shown to be capable of producing over 1 mA of emission when properly processed. However, when working with large arrays of tips, achieving an average emission per tip greater than about 10 muA/tip has been elusive due primarily to insufficient uniformity from tip to tip in the as-fabricated arrays. Recent work in addressing this issue has shown that it is possible to improve tip-to-tip emission uniformity with a pulse-conditioning technique currently under development. Using recently developed lithography techniques, emitter arrays are now fabricated with gate aperture diameters of 0.35 mum and a 1-mum aperture or tip pitch (1-mum space between apertures and tips, or 108 tips/cm2). This configuration would have approximately 785,000 tips in a 1-mm-diameter area, and an average tip loading of less than 1.5 muA/tip would produce 1 amp of total peak emission with a current density of about 130 A/cm2, exceeding most vacuum tube requirements","PeriodicalId":121164,"journal":{"name":"2005 International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116394276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Low secondary electron emission coatings are also used on discrete insulating spacer components. The use of hop plate in conjunction with flue plate are adopted resulting to hop/flue structure that can act as a spacer within the FED. Hop plate dramatically improves intrapixel uniformity and pixel definition. It also screens the cathode from the anode field and places it in a low field, low stored-energy environment. Optical activity, correlated with the pre-breakdown electric currents that flowed across the surface of the insulators, is found to be related to a localised cathode triple junction. Modelling the structures describe the appearance of doughnut shaped emission patterns at the anode which disappear at higher anode voltages.","PeriodicalId":121164,"journal":{"name":"2005 International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference","volume":"236 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123622083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The classical transport equation is used to describe the carrier transportation in the material and is solved coupled with the Poisson's equation. The field emission process between emitter and vacuum interface is modeled by the Fowler-Nordheim equation. For studying the space-charge screening effect, the carriers are allowed to move in the vacuum region, and the space-charge fields of the carriers are also solved self-consistently through the Poisson's equation. After the simulation, the F-N plot, the carrier distribution and the band structures are figured out. The simulation results of the anode current as a function of the applied voltage for single SiCN grown on n- and p-type doped silicon substrates are shown. The simulation results exhibit that the p-type substrate will limit the emission currents of the narrow- and wide-band-gap nanostructure at the high-field region. And the space-charge screening effect will further saturate the emission current.","PeriodicalId":121164,"journal":{"name":"2005 International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128256576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
