Abstract :
The effect of post-deposition plasma etching on the field emission properties of screen-printed multiwalled carbon nanotube electron emitter arrays is investigated. Results prove that short time etching can effectively remove parts of the inorganic binder, aligns the carbon nanotubes and improve field emission properties
