Abstract

The effect of gate mesh electrode on the electron extraction from carbon nanotube emitters for high performance electron beam were studied. In the case of low electron emission regime (< 1mA/cm2), gate electrode structure and materials little effects on electron emission current. However, higher electron emission regime (>1mA/cm2) gate electrode materials and structure start to effects on electron emission current and then it makes failure in electron beams. The effects were confirmed with DC-pulse driving with different duty cycle to reduce current load on gate mesh.
