P2–13: Field emission characteristics of carbon nanotube forest on etched Si substrate

In this work, we investigate the field emission characteristics of carbon nanotube forest on three types substrate: (1) mirror polished, (2) chemically etched (large pattern) and (3) chemically etched (small pattern) Si substrate. The surface morphology of CNTs forest was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), surface chemical state and electronic structure phase analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy.
