We fabricated oxidized porous polysilicon (OPPS) field emitters and investigated their field emission characteristics using a Ti=Pt multi-layer electrode of different thicknesses and OPPS emitters, which were patterned in a 7 Â 7 array. Each unit pixel of the 7 Â 7 array OPPS on the field emitter, with a structure of Pt=OPPS= n-type Si, was in operation and their field emission characteristics were investigated using a thermal oxidation process with a Ti=Pt multi-layer electrode. A non-doped polysilicon layer 1.75 mm is deposited on a heavily doped n-type silicon wafer and anodized in a solution of HF (50%):ethanol in a 1:1 ratio. The Ti=Pt multi-layer electrodes were formed with different thicknesses using a DC sputter. The achieved higher emission efficiency of the Ti=Pt electrode, with thickness of 2 nm=7 nm was 1.57% at V ps ¼ 20 V. The investigated field emission characteristics of the unit pixel also demonstrated good uniformity.
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.
