Abstract |
N-doped and low-hydrogenated DLC thin films were coated on the Mo-tip FEAs in order to improve the field emission performance and their electrical properties were evaluated. The fabricated devices showed improved field emission performance in terms of turn-on voltage, emission current and current fluctuation. This result might be caused both by the shift of Fermi level toward conduction band by N-doping and by the inherent stability of DLC material. Furthermore, the transconductance of the DLC-coated Mo-tip FEA and electrical conductivity and optical band-gap of the deposited DLC films were investigated. |
