Abstract
The electron emission of carbon films and mechanism for the nitrogen-lowered threshold in cold cathode were studied. Carbon nitride films were deposited on Si(001) substrates using rf magnetron sputtering high purity pyrolytic graphite in a pure N2 discharge. It was found that the substrate temperature of 200°C, floating potential at the substrate, and the nitrogen partial pressure of 0.3 Pa were favorable to promote the reaction that lowers the work function.
