Abstract

Numerical simulation has been performed on a microtip field emitter structure produced by employing a CMP technology. The field distributions are estimated by using a Maxwell 2D vector simulator and the electron trajectories are obtained by solving the equation of ballistic motion of emitted electrons. The beam width observed at the phosphor has been characterized as a function of the applied voltages and the gate-to-tip distance. It has also been investigated how the electron trajectory is changed by adopting the anode switching as well as the focus electrode.
