Abstract:
Fluctuation-free electron emission is obtained from MIM (Al-Al 2 O 3 -Au) cathodes. The Al 2 O 3 layer is fabricated by anodic oxidation with a reduced electrolysis current density, i.e., a reduced oxidation rate. The slow oxidation process improves the insulating effect of the Al 2 O 3 layer, and enables the MIM cathodes to operate in the non-formed state. The fluctuation-free emission is reproducible when the diode voltage is cut off instantaneously. With a thin Al 2 O 3 layer, the diode voltage reguired for the cathode operation is reduced to values slightly above the work function of the top electrode.
