Research Abstract |
Mold-based technique for obtaining pyramidal-shape diamond was proposed and with new nitrogen(N) doping technique using urea, extremely low-threshold electron emission has been confirmed. In order to understand the emission mechanism, energy distribution of the emitted electrons were measured and we found that the emitted electrons have the energy level of about EF. The dependence of the injection metal contacts on the electron emission were discussed, and the "space charge interlayer model" was proposed. The most probable mechanism has been proposed using "metal-insulator-vacuum-type electron emission" model which is consistent with most of the experimental results, and its confirmation has also demonstrated. There were numbers of reports concerning the electron emission from boron (B) -doped diamond, and invited paper has appeared in Trans. IEICE J81-C-II, 180-190, 1998. In this project, although there remains few problems which should be solved before the practical applications, the electron emission mechanism of N-doped diamond which exhibits extremely low-threshold, has been clarified in 4-year term and summarized in 15 research papers.
