| dc.description.abstract | Due to limitations of semiconductor-based microelectronics, a clear need for a superior technology exists. Field emission vacuum microelectronics is one such technology that possesses the potential to overtake the microelectronics industry. However, insufficient research has been conducted on field emission devices to allow for their wide-spread acceptance. This work attempts to further the knowledge base on field emission devices by the exploration of a monolithic three-terminal, field emission device. In particular, an effort is made to characterize the DC performance of such a device based upon several key device parameters: inter-electrode spacings, size and number of emitters. Various sized triodes and arrays of triodes are investigated to explore the idea of current scaling -- an important aspect for a flat-panel display application. Additionally, the effects of pre-test treatment upon device performance are also presented. Suggestions for future work, including possible device modifications to enhance performance, are given. | en |
