Abstract:

In this paper, a single silicon nanoemitter were investigated by means of experiments and simulation models andthe emitters array was fabricated by dry etching using an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) through a three-step process. Besides, in order to understand the field emission phenomenon in nano/micro scale, a novel experimental measurement technique by SEM with nanomotors including the constant voltage and the constant emission modes was developed to measure the accurate field emission properties.The results indicated that etching method is a good way to make the uniform field emitters and the electron field emission from a single nanoemitter is a barrier tunneling, quantum mechanicalprocess.
