摘要: In this paper we report a new approach to fabricate gated silicon microtip arrays for field emission applications using single mask process. The key role in the fabrication process is played by photoelectrochemical etching of HF-based electrolytes. This technique here exploited produce highly uniform arrays. detailed and dependence tip geometry on electrochemical parameters discussed.
