Electron Emission From Diamond and Carbon Nitride Grown by Hot Filament Cvd or Helical Resonator Pecvd
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
To improve silicon field emitters, diamond and carbon nitride coatings were applied by hot filament CVD and helical resonator CVD, respectively. Helical resonator CVD was first proposed as a new method to grow carbon nitride on silicon tips without damage. Diamond and carbon nitride coatings lowered turn-on voltage and increased emission current. Microstructural and electronic investigations of carbon nitride film were performed. The negative electron affinity of carbon nitride is suggested for enhancing emission current.
