Abstract :
In this study, the fabrication technologies for a gated CuO nanowire emitter were investigated. It is found that the interlayer between CuO nanoemitter and cathode electrode is crucial to achieve good emission. Attempts were made to improve the interlayer structure, including using multilayer-metal thin film electrode and etch residue cleaning.
