Early field emission electron sources used the Spindt microtip structure as a field emission array. The electron source manufactured by the micro-nano-assisted technology comprises: an insulating substrate; a cathode electrode formed on the insulating substrate; a hair (four) microtip formed on the cathode electrode; and a cathode electrode formed on the cathode electrode The upper has an open insulating layer; a gate disposed on the insulating layer, and each of the emitter microtips is aligned with an opening. Due to the thin film lithography process, the distance between the cathode conductive layer and the gate is on the order of micrometers or submicron. This type of electricity: the main problem of the source is the serious leakage between the gate and the cathode electrode, which causes the general gate voltage to be applied to only about 100V, and the field emission current density is small, so it is limited. Carbon Nanotube (CNT) is a new type of carbon material discovered by Japanese researcher Chiu in 1991. Please refer to "Microtubules of Graphitic Carbon", S. Iijima, Nature, ν〇1·354 , P56 (1991). The carbon nanotube has excellent electrical conductivity, good chemical stability of 200926241 and large aspect ratio, and it has a surface area close to the f-end: the smaller the tip surface area, the local electric field :), Therefore, the j carbon tube is widely used in the field of field emission vacuum electron source. The structure of the carbon nanotube field emission electron (IV) includes: - an insulating bottom, and a cathode electricity formed on the insulating substrate. κ 一 an ancient - phantom electrode, formed in the cathode, between the array of carbon nanotube field emitter array; a spacer placed on the electrode of the drain · a set ' ^ A metal grid placed on top of the separator. ❹ , the distance between the metal grid and the cathode electrode (four) is slightly determined. The disadvantage of the structure is that the emitter density is too high, and the electric field shielding effect is severe. At work, only a small part of the emitter emits electrons, so it is difficult to make an electron source of the south current density. Another ice J.V. π4 thousand / original In addition, the isolation design of the field emission electron source is not optimal, limiting the operating voltage applied between the metal grid and the cathode electrode. There is a cloud here to provide a better insulation between the metal grid and the cathode electrode. The mx effectively prevents the emitter array from being too dense and causes shielding.

The cathode emitter 112 is a tandem array of tips arranged in a regular hexagon. Each tip has a conical shape with a tip height of 1 to 2 microns and a pitch of w microns. Further, the embodiment may further include: preparing a surface modification layer 13 on the surface of the cathode emitter U2. The surface modification layer (10) may be a reduction method, a steam distillation method or a chemical vapor deposition method. The surface finish layer 130 covers the surface of the cathode emitter 112 and has a thickness of nanometers, preferably 5 nanometers. The surface repairing (4) 13 () is a carbide film such as tantalum carbide, carbonization, titanium carbide or carbon (10). Preferably, the surface modification layer 130 is made of titanium carbide or carbon (4), and its work function is (4) 3 82 electron volts and 3.3 2 . Electronic volts. In step three, a spacer preform 136 is prepared on the insulating substrate 102, and the spacer preform 136 is exposed. The separator preform 136 is an insulating layer made of thick film silicone and the spacer 136 covers the cathode emitter electrode 108. The separator preform 136 has a thickness of 5 Å to 1 〇〇〇 micrometer. The spacer preform 136 material is typically a photoresist such as su_8 photoresist or other thick film exposure adhesive. The exposure process can be achieved by ordinary exposure techniques. Exposure 14 200926241 is mainly for exposing the portion of the ex-body preform 136 corresponding to the opening 118 and the opening 126 to facilitate removal of the exposed portion in a later step, ' obtaining an opening 118 and an opening 126. Step 4, a metal grid 120 is formed on the spacer preform 130. The fabrication of the metal grid 120 specifically includes the following steps: First, a metal film is plated on the spacer preform 136. The plating process may be a sputtering method, an evaporation method, or a chemical vapor deposition method. The thickness of the metal film is 1 to 1 Å. Next, the above metal film was engraved to obtain a metal grid 12〇. The etching of the metal film is performed by a common etching technique. The metal grid 12〇 is arranged in a dense hexagonal arrangement and has a high transmittance of between 85% and 95%. In the fifth step, the exposed portion of the spacer body 136 is removed, and a spacer 116 is formed to be spaced apart from the cathode electrode n, thereby obtaining a field emission electron source 100. In the present embodiment, the method of removing the separator preform 136 that has been exposed to the file is by acetone soaking. The soaking process is carried out at room temperature, and the soaking time is 10 to 30 minutes. After the exposed portion of the spacer preform 130 has been removed, a spacer 116 having a "c" structure is formed which includes an opening 118 and an opening 126. Among them, the opening 118 makes the cathode emitter I. The way out is opposite the metal grid 120 through the opening 118, and the opening 126 exposes the cathode cathode 128 and is not in contact with the separator 116. During the exposure process, due to the reflection of light, the incident light forms a standing wave effect with the reflection 15 200926241 light, so an uneven exposure sentence is formed on the sidewall of the spacer U6, so that after the portion of the spacer preform 136 that has been exposed is removed, 'A concave-convex structure 122 is formed on the side wall of the separator 116. The relief structure v 122 can increase the insulation distance between the cathode electrode 110 and the metal grid 120. It can be understood that, in this embodiment, a plurality of field emission electron sources 100 can be prepared on an insulating substrate 102 to obtain a field array of emission electron sources. To prepare the array of field emission electron sources 100 described above, it is further desirable to provide a heat sink at the bottom of the insulating substrate 102. A fan or cooling water system can also be configured for the array of field emission electron sources 100. In summary, the present invention has indeed met the requirements of the invention patent, and has filed a patent application according to law. However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it is not possible to limit the scope of the patent application in this case.
