RF Vacuum Microelectronics
Abstract
We summarize our third quarter progress towards developing a thin film edge emitter vacuum triode capable of 1 GHz modulation at current emission densities of 10 uA/um for 1 hour. Considerable progress in the development of a good edge emitter has been achieved this quarter. Current densities of >5 uA/um have been measured and continuous operation of a field emitter diode for >70 hours has been achieved. Design of field emitter triodes were completed this quarter and processing of these triodes has commenced. Atomic force microscopy was used to characterize the emitter surfaces and finite-element modeling of the triode was carried out.
