Abstract
A novel addressable field emission array has been developed for use in a new deep submicron electron-beam lithography system. The device consists of a two-dimensional array of miniature amorphous diamond cathodes deposited on aluminum biasing pads controlled by CMOS circuitry. The prototype device was characterized and was found to produce measurable electron fluxes at voltages below 5V. The geometrical enhancement factor evaluated from Fowler-Nordheim plots is approximately 1100, suggesting electrons are emitted locally from spherically sp3 clusters.
