Abstract

We have investigated the electrical characteristics of a MOSFET-structured silicon field emitter by employing Maxwell 2D and Silvaco simulators. The potential distribution is obtained by Maxwell 2D simulator and the field emission current is calculated by Fowler-Nordheim equations. The characteristics of MOSFET is simulated by Silvaco simulator. Simulated results are almost identical to the experimental results. Also, we have studied the emission characteristics as funtions of several geometric parameters.
