[3Ba12S] Fabrication and structural control of HfN Spindt-type emitters using triode reactive HPPMS
Triode high power pulsed sputtering (t-HPPMS) has been attempted to fabricate pointed emitters. By using Hf, which is known to have higher ionization efficiency than Mo, we could fabricate much more sharp HfN emitters with an aspect ratio (AR: half-height/half-width) of up to 2.3. However, shape optimization was necessary to realize the electron emission. In this study, we fabricated a HfN emitter prototype and an emitter with a less protruding tip by reactive t-HPPMS.
