Abstract
This paper presents a field emitter in the form of a silicon tip covered with a layer of carbon nanotubes. The emitted beam is focused with a set of two electrostatic lenses and – which is novelty in such structures – with a magnetic field. The presented approach gave very promising results. The field emitter was able to provide a high emission current (about 50 µA) and a beam with a small and homogeneous spot. Such electron sources are necessary components of many miniature MEMS and nanoelectronics devices. The presented source is dedicated especially for the use in currently developed MEMS X-ray sources and MEMS electron microscopes.
本文介绍了一种场发射器，其形式是在硅尖上覆盖一层碳纳米管。发射的光束通过一组两个静电透镜和磁场聚焦，这在此类结构中尚属首次。所提出的方法取得了非常有前景的结果。场发射器能够提供较高的发射电流（约 50 µA）和均匀的小光斑光束。这种电子源是许多微型微机电系统和纳米电子器件的必要组成部分。该电子源特别适用于目前开发的微机电系统 X 射线源和微机电系统电子显微镜。
