The density distribution of the CNTs is one of the crucial parameters for the field emission property of CNTs.We use an inactive thin film layer that was deposited on the catalyst to effectively control the density of the CNTs. The results showed the improved field emission property could be obtained with a thin SiO layer on the catalyst layer as the precursor. For the 3.5 nm Fe and 3.5 nm SiO on 3.5 nm Fe as the catalyst, the turn-on field can be reduced from 3.7 V/ mu m. to 2.2 V/ mu m and the field emission current density increased from 2.6x 10(-8) A/cm(2) to 2.4x 10(-4) A/cm(2) when the applied field was 4 V/mu m. The extremely low turn-on field of 1.3 V/ mu m was also discovered for the CNTs grown with the precursor contained 1.5 nm SiO on 1.5 nm Fe; the extremely high emission current density of 4x 10(-2) A/cm(2) was also achieved under the low electric field of 3.5 V/ mu m.

In this essay, the pillar-like CNT field emission arrays synthesis with co-deposited catalysts at low temperature (550 degrees C) was proposed. Pillar-like CNT has been successfully synthesized by thermal CVD system. The current density of this proposed pillar like CNTs was as high as 1272 mu A/cm(2) at 6 V/mu m and the turn-on field was 3.6 V/mu m. Additionally, the reliability was more stable as lower than 7% degradation of initial current density.

The essay was reported the different electrode materials in a quasi-planar thin film field emission diode by different forming process. The forming process causes an increased surface roughness of emitters or reduced the work function of the emitter and results in a higher field enhancement factor, which shows better field emission characteristics. The turn on voltage could from 15 V to 8 V and 6.5V with Co and Pd electrode at the emission current of 100 nA for samples.
