Field emission from ZrC films on Si and Mo single emitters and emitter arrays

  • 1. Linfield Research Institute, McMinnville, Oregon 97128-6894 (United States)

Description

Field emission from ZrC films deposited on Si and Mo single emitters and field emitter arrays (FEAs) has been studied. For single emitters, the results show dramatic improvements in emitter performance by reducing work functions emdash on the order of 1 eV emdash and increasing stability. For FEAs, deposition of a ZrC film reduced the operating voltage 30%endash 50% at an emission current of 1.0 μA/tip and increased the emission stability. copyright 1996 American Vacuum Society
