A kind of the composite Nano cold cathode structure and preparation method of high stable electron emission
Technical field
The present invention relates to vacuum microelectronics technique fields.More particularly to a kind of cold yin of composite Nano of high stable electron emission
Pole structure further relates to a kind of composite Nano cold cathode preparation method of high stable electron emission.
Background technique
Cold-cathode electron source has brightness high, and coherence is good, is convenient for the advantages that integrated, therefore micro- in high-precision electronic
Mirror, X-ray plane source, FPD, parallel electron beam etching etc. have important application.However, the transmitting that cold cathode is intrinsic
Current instability limits its development.
In general, the unstability of cold cathode is mainly related with two aspects.One is adsorption desorption process, should
Process is mainly related with surface dangling bonds and surface charge.Currently, mainly by being heated at high temperature the method for cold cathode come as far as possible
Ground removes binding molecule (such as Field emission microscopy of carbon nanotube caps).However, high temperature
The method of heating has larger limitation to the fusing point of material therefor in electronic source construction, and when temperature drops to normal working temperature
When, residual gas can be still adsorbed on cold cathode.
Another factor is that surface texture will form atom level protrusion under strong electric field, so as to cause the change of internal field
Change.According to field emission theory, the surface potential barrier of cold cathode is higher, and emission current is more sensitive to electric field change, and therefore, electric field is disturbed
It is dynamic to cause bigger current fluctuation.
