Abstract
Carbon films were prepared on single crystal silicon substrates by heat-treatment of a polymer-poly(phenylcarbyne) at 800 °C in Ar atmosphere. The heat-treatment caused the change of the polymer into carbon film, which exhibited good field emission properties. Low turn-on emission field of 4.3 V/μm (at 0.1 μA/cm 2) and high emission current density of 250 μA/cm 2 (at 10 V/μm) were observed for the polymer-converted carbon films. This behavior was demonstrated to be mainly related to the microstructure of the carbon films, which consisted of fine carbon nanoparticles with high sp 2 bonding. The carbon films, which can be deposited simply with large areas, are promising for practical applications in field emission display.
