Abstract

The electron emission characteristics of planar field emission arrays (FEAs), containing diamondlike carbon (DLC) films as emitters, were investigated. Precoating an Au layer on Si prior to the deposition of DLC films further improves the emission properties of FEAs. A high emission current capacity as 0.5 mA/cm2 has been achieved, which corresponds to a large emission current density as 44 mA/cm2 for DLC films in the emitting dots. However, preannealing the Au-coating at 500°C (30 min) is necessary to improve the characteristics of film-to-substrate interface and the DLC films' electron field emission properties.
