摘要
A miniature-size pyramidal-shape diamond field emitter array has been fabricated using the mold technique, The tip radius of each pyramid was found to be less than 2000 Angstrom from SEM observation and the fabricated array was identified as diamond from the results of AES and Raman spectroscopy, The array was placed in a high vacuum pumping system with the basic pressure of 10(-7) Torr, and the emission property was measured using a Au ball anode with 100 mu m in diameter, The distance between the anode and the array was set up to 100 mu m. throughout the measurements, As a result, the emission current of 1 x 10(-6) A was observed at the applied voltage of 2400 V.
