We introduced the metal bonded silicon substrate as Al cathode for reduced contact resistance. The Si-Al was bonded in vacuum system with temperature of 570 o C and 15 min annealing time. After eutectic bonding, the resistance is reduced to a couple of ohms. The resistance was reduce to one hundreds of initial value. The electron emission current increased after Si-Al bonding. And the stability of emission current of the eutectic bonded CNT emitter shows improved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
