Reliability tests of gated silicon field emitters for use in space
Neutralizes are required to prevent spacecraft charging from satellite ion propulsion. This paper discusses the development of a gated silicon tip field emitter (FE) neutralizer, specified to deliver 6 mA, with each tip emitting a mean current of 7 nA. It is important to investigate factors affectin...
