Abstract
Field Emission Display(FED) has significant advantages over existing display technologies, particularly in the area of small and high quality display. In order to test the feasibility of fabricating the System-on-Chip(SOC) with FED, we conducted the experiment to use the p-n junction as an electron beam source for the flat panel display. A novel structure was constructed to form p-n junctions by generating inversion layer with the electric field from the cantilever style gate. When we applied more than 220V at the cantilever style gate which has a height of $1{\mu}m$, avalanche breakdown onset was successfully achieved. The characteristics was compared with the electron emission from the ultra shallow junction in the avalanche region. The experiment result and the future direction were discussed.
