Electron Emission Regimes of Planar Nano Vacuum Emitters

Marco Turchetti et al.

Summary: Recent advancements in nanofabrication have enabled the creation of vacuum electronic devices with nanoscale free-space gaps. These nanoelectronic devices promise the benefits of cold-field emission and transport through free space, while reducing the device footprint, increasing operating bandwidth, and reducing power consumption. However, the interplay between different electron emission mechanisms from these devices is not well understood.

Complementary Vacuum Field Emission Transistor

Ranajoy Bhattacharya et al.

Summary: A new complementary vacuum field emission device structure is proposed in this study, where a freely moving double-clamped cantilever is used as the source electrode with electron-emitting cathode formed on the source for n-type device and on the drain for p-type device. Multiphysics simulation shows that complementary current-voltage characteristics are obtained only with Fowler-Nordheim tunneling electron transport.
