Formation of silicon tips with <1 nm radius
R. B. Marcus,T. S. Ravi,T. J. Gmitter,Ken K. Chin,D. Liu,W.J. Orvis,D.R. Ciarlo,Charles E. Hunt,J.T. Trujillo +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method has been found for preparing uniform silicon tips with a radius of curvature less than 1 nm, formed by oxidation of 5μm-high silicon cones through exploitation of a known oxidation inhibition of silicon at regions of high curvature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation and design of field emitters
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of variations in emitter geometry on electron current, spectral and temporal dispersion of electron emission, and emitter heating are calculated analytically and by computer simulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atomically sharp silicon and metal field emitters
TL;DR: In this article, a method was described for forming atomically sharp silicon tips of less than 10-15 degrees half-angle by utilizing a known oxidation inhibition at regions of high curvature; equally sharp silicon wedges are now made in a similar fashion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electron field emission through a very thin oxide layer
G. Yang,Ken K. Chin,R. B. Marcus +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the field emission of an emitter covered with a very thin oxide layer is modeled and calculated numerically, and the additional barrier due to the oxide layer was included in the tunneling problem by using the standard WKB method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field emitter tips for vacuum microelectronic devices
Ken K. Chin,R. B. Marcus +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the design criteria for two forms of field emitters (cone and wedge) for vacuum microelectronic applications are discussed, and the effects of practical variations in geometry on emission current, spatial and temporal dispersion of electron emission, and emitter heating are calculated by simulation.
