Modelling of the field emission microtriode with emitter covered with porous silicon

Electron field emission is obtained using high enough (greater than or equal to 1 V/nm) electric fields. Such local fields are usually obtained using sharp emitters. An alternative approach is to cover the otherwise blunt emitter (BE) with a porous silicon (PS) layer. The PS is composed of many fibr...
