Abstract

CNx thin films were prepared using low pressure plasma enhancedchemical vapour deposition, and then bombardedby low-energy N2+. The compositions before and after N2+bombardment were compared using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Theelectron field emission characteristics of CNx thin films before andafter N2+ bombardment were studied under the pressure of 10-6 Pa.For the samples, the turn-on emission field decreased from 2.5 V/µmto 1.2 V/µm while the stable current density increased from0.5 mA/cm2 to a value larger than 1 mA/cm2 before and after thebombardment. Our results illustrate that the field emission characteristicswere improved after the bombardment of N+2.
