Initial experiments with cleaved FETs showed gate voltage dependency of the anode current. Prior to vacuum testing of these devices, we made sure that their C-V and drain current versus drain voltage dependencies were similar to their non-cleaved states, indicating that no damage at the cleaved regions occurred.","PeriodicalId":292538,"journal":{"name":"2020 33rd International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference (IVNC)","volume":"25 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125544782","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}

Little work has been done to understand how to geometrically optimize the design of the anode in order to provide the optimal current drive for a given voltage. It is well-known that thermionic sources obey the 1D Child-Langmuir space charge limit which provides the geometrical design considerations. Here, we investigate the impact of the 1D Child-Langmuir law on Si FEAs by changing the cathode/anode distance. We report that Si FEAs obey the classical law with one slight modification.","PeriodicalId":292538,"journal":{"name":"2020 33rd International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference (IVNC)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125234214","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}

It quantifies how much the emitter sharp tip locally magnifies the applied external electrostatic field and enhances its FE properties. In a single tip form, the aFEF increases with the emitter's aspect ratio. However, when in a cluster or an array, the aFEF decreases due to depolarization fields from neighboring emitters. Hence, in large arrays, there is a tradeoff between the height and density to maximize its aFEF. There are experimental and theoretical works that analyze FE from carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays with fixed spacing $(c)$, fixed radii $(r)$, and varying height $(h)$. Those works discuss the existence of an aspect-ratio $(h/r)$ for which a maximum FEF is achieved. Here, we found for an infinite square array of identical hemisphere-on-cylindrical-post emitters a universal behavior, in which $gamma$ scales as $gammasimgamma s(h/c)^{0.84}$, valid for aspect-ratios $h/rgtrsim 50$ and $hlesssim 0.7c$.

The coercive field has its maximum strength between 2.2 monolayers (0.07 T) and 3 monolayers (0.025 T), being larger than 0.1 T at 2.7 monolayers and decreasing to 0.0075 T at 6 monolayers.
