[0132] Next, in order to see the results of performing aging using a humidified state, aging was performed by performing humidification treatment, and a case where baking treatment was performed was compared with a case where humidification treatment was omitted and aging treatment and baking treatment were performed under the same conditions .

[0133] First, an electron emission film 13 is formed on a substrate by a CVD apparatus under the above conditions, and a field emission electrode is formed. Next, the electron emission film 13 of the field emission electrode formed in this way is subjected to a humidification treatment. Specifically, in a high-humidity environment, the humidification process is performed by exposing to, for example, a room temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a humidity of 100% for about one minute. Then dry on 50% humidity for about ten minutes.

[0149] Next, the following two cases were compared: a case where humidification treatment was performed using a copper sheet (which is a water repellent material) as an anode, aging treatment was performed, and baking treatment was performed; ) is a case where the processing equipment as the anode is subjected to aging while performing the humidification treatment as in the first embodiment, and then performing the baking treatment. Effect of the case on the anode of the field emission electrode. 24 to 33 of the first embodiment show the data of performing aging and then performing baking treatment for a treatment apparatus using a glass plate covered with a fluorescent substance (ZnO:Zn) on ITO as an anode in addition to humidification treatment . In the second embodiment, only data are shown for the case of using a copper sheet instead of a phosphor (ZnO:Zn)-coated glass plate on ITO as an anode.

[0162] Next, in order to see the effect of applying a pulse voltage, the case where aging by applying a pulse voltage was performed in a wet state was compared with the case where aging by applying a DC fixed voltage instead of a pulse voltage was performed in a wet state.

[0163] First, as in the first embodiment, an electron emission film was formed on a substrate under the above conditions by a plasma CVD apparatus, and a field emission electrode was prepared. Next, the electron emission film of the field emission electrode formed in this way is subjected to a humidification treatment. Specifically, the humidification treatment is performed by exposing to a room temperature of, for example, 25 degrees Celsius and a humidity of 100% for about one minute in a high-humidity environment. Drying is then carried out at 50% humidity for approximately 10 minutes.

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a field emission electrode includes humidification processing to absorb water at a surface of an electron emission film emitting electrons as a result of application of a voltage, and voltage application processing to apply an aging voltage between the humidified electron emission film and an electrode provided facing the electron emission film.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a field emission electrode for emitting electrons by field emission, its manufacturing method and its manufacturing equipment. Background technique [0002] The field emission electrode is capable of emitting cold electrons in a vacuum as a result of applying a strong field to the emitter, and is attracting attention as a field emission element capable of replacing a hot cathode. Various studies are underway to obtain a lower threshold field strength and achieve stability and uniformity of the emission current. [0003] Structures such as those using carbon films such as carbon nanotubes as field emission electrodes are known. [0004] It is well known that, typically, for a field emission electrode, when a polar molecular gas such as water vapor is adsorbed onto the surface of the electron emission site (hereafter referred to as "water molecule" because Most of the residual gas in the vacuum chamber can be considered...
