Abstract
A field emitter array (FEA) with integrated gate electrode was fabricated on a transparent substrate for optical emission control. An array consisting of about 30000 emitters is arranged in a 3-mm-diameter area on a quartz-glass substrate. I-V characteristics were measured and electron emission regime was confirmed as field emission from Fowler-Nordheim analysis. Emission current was enhanced with laser irradiation at the wavelength of 532 nm, and the threshold voltage for field emission was reduced by 43 %. The maximum current enhancement factor was 4.3×106. The result obtained from this study is expected to be applied for optically-controlled field emitter array and future high throughput electron beam lithography.
