Abstract

We prepared carbon nanotube (CNT) pastes with different inorganic binders such as glass frit and spin on glass (SOG). MWNT powders grown by CVD were used for electron emissive source. The three-roll mill process was carried out for mixing and dispersion of CNT powders in organic vehicle as polymer matrix. CNT paste was printed onto various substrates such as an indium thin oxide (ITO) coated soda lime glass and a nickel plate. Then CNT paste was sintered under different ambient and temperature. For the analysis of the surface morphology of the cathode layer, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) was used. The FE characteristics of CNT paste were measured in a high vacuum chamber with a parallel diode type configuration at 5/spl times/10/sup -6/ Torr. We obtained stable and high emission current from CNT paste with SOG. Our experiments have shown that CNT paste with SOG can use as efficient electron emitter in vacuum nanoelectronics such as radio frequency amplifier, field emission display and X-ray tube.
