Abstract
As a promising kind of high current cold cathode, the Ferroelectric Cathode (FEC) has several significant advantages, such as a controllable trigger time, lower vacuum requirement and large emitting area fabricability. The emitting current density of the FEC fabricated at Tsinghua University was more than 200 A/cm2. In order to make the ferroelectric cathode into practical applications, a high current density diode using a ferroelectric cathode was designed, based on the PIC simulation. The performance of the FEC diode was investigated experimentally. When the applied diode voltage was 60 kV, a current density of more than 250 A/cm2 was obtained, and the current density distribution was also measured.
