| Abstract | Silicon field emitter arrays show exciting potential applications as cathodes for microwave power devices. This presentation will discuss design considerations, fabrication techniques, test methods and results for silicon field emitter arrays produced at MCNC. Field emission, or "cold" cathode technology has advantages over thermionic cathodes for use in microwave power devices. These include: electron generation without the need for a cathode heater and its power supply, electrical modulation of the electron beam at the source to produce pre-bunched groups of electrons, and the ability to sustain current densities higher than predicted by the Langmuir-Child law. Advantages silicon field emitter arrays have over cold cathodes produced using other technologies include the use of well-established fabrication techniques from the semiconductor industry and the ability to place the emitter tips on tall columns. Additionally, large numbers of cathodes can be fabricated in a variety of shapes within a single fabrication run. To benefit from these advantages, careful consideration must be given to the device geometry and the materials used in the fabrication of the arrays to avoid excessive losses at high frequencies. Furthermore, the test equipment must be configured to manage power deposition in the anode, or measured performance will be limited. Early results at MCNC have shown that anode current modulation at 1 GHz can be produced and measured from a field emitter array. With continued advances in the technology, modulation at 10 GHz appears to be a reasonable goal. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
