Abstract

Due to the electron-gas collision ionization in a FED, positively charged ions bombard the cathode. This can destroy the field emitters and cause instabilities. In this study we have selected a normal-gate sub-cell to calculate the ion bombardment (IB). In the cases of uniform emitting and ring emitting, the process of ion bombardment and cathode damage has been investigated.
