Abstract

A field-emission cathode is fabricated with ZnO tetrapodlike nanoemitters. With a simple planar triode structure, a cathodoluminescent light source has been investigated. Because of the characteristics of surface-conduction electron-emission planar triode, this cathodoluminescent light source shows a very good performance. As experimental results show, the turn-on electric field is about 1 V/mum, whereas the current density is 1 muA/cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> . The threshold electric field is 1.6 V/mum, whereas the current density is 1 mA/cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> . When a pulse voltage with 4% duty cycle is applied on the gate electrode, the fluctuation of anode current is smaller than 15 % during 200 h.
