Abstract

In this paper, the design and fabrication of a single chip carbon nanotubes (CNT) vacuum field emission differential amplifier (VFE diff-amp) is presented for the first time. A dual-mask microfabrication process is employed to achieve the single-chip VFE diff-amp that integrates two identical vacuum field emission transistors with built-in split gates and integrated anodes.
