RF Vacuum Microelectronics
Abstract
Program objective was to demonstrate an edge emitter based vacuum triode with emission current density of 10 microAmps/micrometer at less than 250 V which can be modulated at 1 GHz continuously for 1 hour. Key achievements in this reporting period were to identify two sources of emitter burn-out and have developed emitter designs to overcome this effect. The project demonstrated controlled deposition of high resistivity (> megaohm/square)TaN for use as current limiting resistors during emitter burn-in.
