SiC-capped nanotip arrays for field emission with ultralow turn-on field

 

 Typical scanning electron microscopy micrograph of  silicon nanotips fabricated monolithically by the ECR dry etching of Si(100) substrate.

  A typical field emission data obtained from silicon nanotips fabricated monolithically by the ECR dry etching of Si(100) substrate, demonstrating the ultralow turn-on electric fields. The inset presents the emission current data plotted in the Fowler–Nordheim coordinates, wherein the dashed line represents a linear relationship for an ideal field emitter.
