Abstract
The process of field emission arises when the electron tunneling probability to the vacuum increases as the vacuum barrier width decreases. Metallic and semiconductor tips have been studied for potential applications in flat panel displays and as cold CW cathodes for microwave vacuum electronics. The measurements of efficient CW photo-induced emission from silicon tip arrays as well as its saturation behavior and nanosecond scale temporal response has been discussed.
