  • Abstract
    We studied the field emission characteristics of stacked-double gate all metal nano-tip arrays for the un-collimated emission current ranging from a few μA to 0.4 mA. Conditioning a 4×104-tip device in low-pressure neon gas ambient and applying long switching pulses, up to ~80 μA field emission current with the transverse energy spread well below 1 eV was demonstrated.
