Problems solved by technology

[0004] (1) The electron emission stability of the porous silicon cathode is poor, and the mechanical and chemical properties are unstable, which is not conducive to the preparation of devices for long-term use
[0005] (2) The electrochemical anode etching technology uses hydrofluoric acid as the corrosion solution, which will produce toxic waste water and seriously pollute the environment, so it has great limitations

Abstract

The invention discloses a nanometer silicon film cathode and a manufacturing method thereof. The nanometer silicon film cathode consists of a bottom electrode, a nanocrystalline silicon-containing silicon dioxide layer (nanocrystalline silicon particles are embedded into silicon dioxide) and a top electrode, which are sequentially manufactured on a substrate, wherein the nanocrystalline silicon-containing silicon dioxide layer is prepared by combining a sputtering method with a high-temperature annealing process. In a preparation process of the nanocrystalline silicon-containing silicon dioxide layer, the partial pressure ratio of argon and oxygen, which are introduced into a coating cavity, or the sputtering power of a silicon target and a silicon dioxide target is regulated to control the sizes and density distribution of the nanocrystalline silicon particles in the nanocrystalline silicon-containing silicon dioxide layer to realize the periodically changing layered distribution of the density of the nanocrystalline silicon particles with proper particle sizes in the nanocrystalline silicon-containing silicon dioxide layer. A manufacturing process for the nanometer silicon film cathode is compatible with a silicon microelectronic processing process, and stable electron emission performance is achieved.
