3-dimensional simulation of field emitter array

Field emitter array의 3차원 시뮬레이션

3-dimensional finite element mehtod (FEM) elecrical field analysis was performed to obtain electric fields on a field emission display (FED) tip in an array form. Because, unlike a single tip structure, there is no azimuthal symmetry for a tip aary, 3D analysis is necessary. To reduce memory requriement the simulatio was performed by applying the neumann boundary condition to the intermediate plane between tips to take the effect of the array on the electric field into account and corresponding current was calculated. To verify our algorithm, comparison between simulation resutls and experimental data from another paper was made and the difference was discussed.
