Abstract
- Multienergy Au-ion implantation enhanced the electrical conductivity of heterogranular structured diamond films grown on Au-coated Si substrates to a high level of 5076.0 (Omega cm)(-1) and improved the field electron emission (FEE) characteristics of the films to low turn-on field of 1.6 V/mu m, high current density of 5.4 mA/cm(2) (@ 2.65 V/mu m), and high lifetime stability of 1825 min. The catalytic induction of nanographitic phases in the films due to Au-ion implantation and the formation of diamond-to-Si eutectic interface layer due to Au-coating on Si together encouraged the efficient conducting channels for electron transport, thereby improved the FEE characteristics of the films.
