  • Abstract
    Extending the emitter tip apex above the gate electrode can effectively prevent the arcing induced by local outgas accumulated inside the cavity for short-lived gated-field-emission triodes. The devices with such an extended tip can perform much better in terms of reliability and transconductance.
