摘要: Electron emission is obtained from “tipless” gated n-silicon arrays (6460 gate holes) by depositing about 10 nm of nanocrystalline graphite (NCG) on top the gates and into holes a glow-discharge technique at 900 °C. The polycrystalline silicon diameter 1.8 μm gate-to-substrate distance 0.85 μm. interdielectric layer SiO2. Turn-on voltages are 40–60 V. currents 50% total currents. From site density NCG films current fluctuation measurements, it concluded that several sites generated inside NCG–Si interface exhibit voltage (Vg) -induced field enhancement. these expressed E=βVg.
