Abstract :
AuSi eutectic on the top of silicon whiskers demonstrated good emissivity at relatively low voltage. Both single tip emitters and arrays of tips were investigated. A maximum emission current of 300 μA was obtained from single-tip AuSi eutectic emitters. Two possible emission mechanisms were considered: emission from edge-like protrusions on the surface or hot electron emission from AuSi microjunctions.
