Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a field emitter and a method of fabricating the same, and more particularly to a field emitter based on a carbon nanotube and a method of preparing the same. [Prior Art] Nano carbon tube is a new type of carbon material, which was first discovered by Japanese researcher Iijima Chengo (s. 1 in !^) in w91. See Heiicai Microtubules of Graphitic Carbon 5% S. Iijima, Naturej Vol '354, 56-58 (1991). The carbon nanotubes have excellent electrical conductivity and have a tip surface area close to the theoretical limit, and the smaller the tip surface area, the more the local electric field is, the carbon nanotubes. It is one of the best known field emission materials. The carbon nanotube has a very low field emission voltage (less than 100 volts), can transmit a large current density, and has better current stability, so it is more suitable for field emission. The emissive material of the display device. The carbon nanotube field emitter generally comprises a cathode substrate and a carbon nanotube layer as an emissive material formed on the cathode substrate. The carbon nanotube field emitter can be applied to the field emission plane display, Fields such as vacuum electron sources. In the prior art, the commonly used methods for preparing nanocarbon tube field emitters include direct growth method and subsequent processing methods. Direct growth method usually Refers to: firstly providing a cathode substrate, forming a catalyst layer on the surface of the cathode substrate; then growing a carbon nanotube at the catalyst site of the cathode substrate by chemical vapor deposition to directly form a carbon nanotube field emitter ( See "Low-temperature CVD growth of carbon nanotubes for field emission applicationM , 201001484

However, since the top surface of the carbon nanotube array grown by chemical vapor deposition has a carbon nanotube entanglement, the shape of the carbon nanotube on the surface is disordered. This situation leads to the carbon nanotube field emitter. The field emission uniformity is poor, and because of the high density of the arrangement of the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube array, there is a strong electromagnetic shielding effect between adjacent carbon nanotubes, which affects the field emission. The field emission current of the body and its practical application performance. ~ Subsequent processing generally refers to first mixing the prepared carbon nanotubes as emitters in the slurry; then printing the above paste on the cathode substrate to form a field emission on the cathode substrate The layer, in turn, obtains a carbon nanotube field emitter. However, using (4) (4) = less density 'and resulting in the density of the effective emitter === take the difference in the field of the carbon nanotubes prepared by the printing method. The e-direction is disorderly and disorderly, which makes the field emission uniformity more realistic than the carbon tube field emitter and its preparation method. Sentence and large field emission: Electricity::: The emitter has better field emission. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION u and the actual application performance is good. a seed field emitter comprising a segment, the carbon nanotube array segment comprising a body and a second end of the array of carbon nanotubes, the carbon nanotube array being flanked at one end and opposite the first end The end of the nanotube array is electrically connected to the conductive substrate, the first end comprising a plurality of field emission 201001484 tips, the field emission tip comprising a plurality of carbon nanotubes arranged side by side. a method for preparing an emitter, comprising the steps of: preparing a nano-array array formed on a substrate; providing a first electrode and a second electrical f " a first electrode and a second electrode insulating spacing; The carbon nanotube column is removed from the portion, and the removed ends of the portion of the carbon nanotube array are fixed on the first electrode and the second electrode. The carbon carbon of the portion of the carbon nanotube array 2 a tube extending from the first electrode to the second electrode; and applying a voltage of 7-10 volts between the second electrode and the second electrode to fuse the portion of the electron beam to form two opposing field emitters . Compared with the prior art, the field emission preparation method provided by the embodiments of the present technical solution has the following advantages: - since the 2 = B array segment in the emitter is obtained by direct melting of the carbon nanotube array, the nai The end face of the fracturing array of the fused stone array is neat, that is, the end face of the field emission tip of the field emitter is marked 'so that the emitter can realize the electron emission of the uniform sentence, thereby making it have better field emission uniformity; Second, since the field emission tip includes a plurality of juxtaposed carbon nanotubes, the distance between the tops of the field emission tips is greater than the distance between the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube arrays, that is, the distance between the electron emission ends is larger. Therefore, the electric field shielding effect between the electron-emitting terminals is therefore 'the field emission current of the field emitter is large, and it is better to record the moon & [Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention and a method of manufacturing the same will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Please refer to and refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. The embodiment of the present technical solution provides 201001484. A field emitter 10' includes a conductive substrate 14 and a carbon nanotube array segment 16, the carbon nanotube array. The segment 16 includes a first end 162 and a second end 164 opposite the first end 162. The first end 162 is electrically coupled to the conductive substrate and the second end 164 includes a plurality of field emission tips 166. The carbon nanotube array segment 16 includes a plurality of carbon nanotubes 168 having substantially the same length. The carbon nanotubes ι68 in the carbon nanotube array segment 16 are arranged in parallel with each other at the first end 162 of the carbon nanotube array segment 16 and uniformly distributed to maintain the morphology of the carbon nanotube array. At the second end 164 of the carbon nanotube array segment 16, the carbon nanotubes 168 are aggregated to form a plurality of carbon nanotube bundles that are evenly distributed to form a plurality of field emission tips 166. The carbon nanotubes 168 in the carbon nanotube array segment 16 are bonded to each other in the field emission tip 166 by van der Waals forces and arranged side by side. The diameter of the field emission tip 166 gradually decreases in a direction away from the conductive substrate 14, forming a v-shaped tip. The top of the field emission tip is the electron emitting end. The carbon nanotube 168 in the carbon nanotube array segment comprises a single-walled carbon nanotube, a double-walled carbon nanotube, a multi-walled carbon nanotube or any combination thereof. Preferably, the diameter of the carbon nanotube 168 is 0.5. Nano-50 nm, length 1 μm qmm. The distance between the carbon nanotubes 168 in the segment 16 of the carbon nanotube array is from 0.1 nm to 5 nm. The carbon nanotube array segment 16 has a length of 1 Gm 2 mm and a diameter of 2 μm: fine micron. In this embodiment, the carbon nanotube 168 is an early-walled carbon nanotube having a diameter of 1 nm, and the length is 15 〇 micron. The carbon nanotube array segment 16 has a length of 150 microns and a diameter of 5 microns. The distance of the carbon nanotube (10) is G·1 nm. The distance between the tops of the field emission tips 166 in the carbon nanotube array segment 16 is between 50 nm and 500 nm, which is greater than the distance between the Nylon carbon 201001484 tube 168. Start two guides! The base 14 is made of a conductive material such as copper 'crab, gold', or two. Alloy. The conductive substrate 14 can be shaped according to actual needs, such as a tapered shape, a small cylindrical shape or a truncated cone shape. The conductive: medium, track, may be an insulating substrate on the surface of which a conductive film is formed. This implementation is ancient, too, and the electric base 14 is a mine with a Ming (4) piece. The conductive substrate 14 is used to support the carbon nanotube array segments 16, and at the same time, the carbon nanotube array fragments 16 can be conveniently communicated with external circuits. The first end 162 of the carbon nanotube array segment 16 is electrically coupled to the conductive substrate 14 by intermolecular forces. It will be appreciated that the first end 162 of the nano carbon (four) column segment 16 and the conductive base n 14 may also be joined by conductive knee or wire bonding. The positional relationship between the carbon nanotube array segment 16 and the conductive substrate is not limited, and it is only necessary to ensure that the first end 162 of the carbon nanotube array segment is electrically connected to the conductive substrate 14. The field emitter 10 is disposed in an electric field formed by a certain voltage. Under the action of the voltage, since the carbon nanotube 168 has better field emission characteristics and the field emitter 10 includes a plurality of field emission tips 166, the field The emitter 10 can emit electrons at a small voltage. In the present embodiment, when the voltage reaches about 200 volts, the field emitter 10 starts to emit electrons, generating field emission current, and as the voltage increases, the field emission current increases. At a voltage of 275 volts, a current of about 1 〇〇 microamperes can be generated. See Figure 4 for 'Raman spectroscopy. The defect peak of the carbon nanotube ι68 at the field emission tip 166 is smaller than that of the standard carbon nanotube 168. The defect peak is low. That is to say, the quality of the carbon nanotube 168 at the field emission large k 166 is higher, that is, its conductivity 201001484, better, and the mechanical strength is large, so that the above field emission material has better quality. Actual... use performance. Please refer to ® 5, since the carbon nanotube array J segment 16 of the emitter 1G towel includes a field emission tip 166, the distance from the top of the field emission tip (10) is greater than between the carbon nanotubes 168 in the carbon nanotube array segment 16 The distance 'that is, the distance between the electron-emitting ends is large. Therefore, the electric field shielding effect between the electron-emitting ends is weak. Therefore, the field emission current of the field emitter W is large, and the field emission performance is good. Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 , an embodiment of the present technical solution provides a method for preparing the field emitter 10, which includes the following steps: Step 1: Prepare a carbon nanotube array 2 to be formed on a substrate 22.

The first and second electrodes 28 and 3 are limited to the second electrode and the second electrode. The distance between the first electrodes 28 in this embodiment is the same as the above-described second and third electrodes 3. The length of the array 2 〇. Preferably, the first m is less than the distance of the nanotube from 100 micrometers to 45 millimeters. The first electrode 30 is between the first embodiment, and the length of the carbon nanotube array 12 201001484 20 is 300 micrometers. The distance between one electrode 28 and the second electrode 3A is 270 microns. Step 3: Remove a portion from the carbon nanotube array 2, and fix the two ends of the removed portion of the carbon nanotube array 20 to the first electrode 28 and the first electrode 30, respectively. The carbon nanotubes in the carbon tube array 2〇 extend from the first electrode 28 to the second electrode 3〇. Preferably, this step is operated under a microscope to precisely select a portion of the nano-stone array 20 and electrically connect the two ends of the portion of the carbon nanotube array 2 to the first electrode 28 and the second electrode 3, respectively. . The above method of removing a portion of the carbon nanotube array 20 and electrically connecting it to the first electrode 28 and the second electrode state specifically includes the following steps: First, a wire having a diameter of 20 nm-loom nanometer is provided. The material of the wire may be an alloy of copper, silver, gold or any combination thereof. Next, one end of the wire is placed close to the carbon nanotube array 20, and a portion of the carbon nanotube array 2' of a certain width is selected to remove a portion of the carbon nanotube array of a certain width from the substrate 22. In the above process, due to the strong intermolecular force between the carbon nanotubes and the wire, the carbon nanotubes (4) on the wire are 'slowly moving the wire, and the four (four) carbon nanotube arrays can be selected. The substrate 22 is removed. The selected partial carbon nanotube array 2 has a width of 2 μm. Micron. In this embodiment, a portion of the carbon nanotube array 20 has a width of 50 μm. After taking, the selected partial carbon nanotubes are fixed to the first electrode 28, the first Leitochuan μ knife (7) is electrically connected to the first electrode and the first electrode is separated from the first electrode " an electrode 30 Connected so that part of the carbon nanotube array 2 〇 intermediate suspension 13 201001484 is empty and stretched. Since a part of the carbon nanotube array 2 has a certain viscosity, the two ends of the partial carbon nanotube array 2 can be directly adhered to the first electrode 28 and the second electrode 30, respectively, or can also be electrically conductive. A glue such as silver glue adheres both ends of a portion of the carbon nanotube array 2 to the first electrode 28 and the second electrode 30, respectively. Step 4, applying a voltage of 7 〇 volts between the first electrode 28 and the second electrode 30 to fuse the partial carbon nanotube array 2 , to form a field emitter 10 of two phases.

Or the inside of the reaction chamber can be filled with an inert gas instead of a vacuum environment, such as 氦Gas or argon, etc. 'to prevent partial carbon nanotube array 2G from causing structural damage during the dissolution process. 1 Next 'apply a voltage of 7 volts between the first electrode 28 and the second electrode 3〇, and the current is applied. Heating the fuse part, the person skilled in the art should understand that the first electrode = the voltage applied between the first sister 30 and the width and length of the partial carbon nanotube array 2 :: off 2 part of the nano carbon in the embodiment The tube array 2〇 has a width of 5 μm and a length of 300 μm. A DC voltage of - 8.25 V is applied to the gate of the first electrode 28 and the second electrode button. The portion of the carbon nanotube array 2 is at the focus 14 201001484 • Under the action of ear heat, it is heated to a temperature of Κ2000Κ^2 shed, and the heating time is 1 hour. During the above vacuum DC heating process, the current through the partial nanocarbon tube array 20 will gradually rise, but the current starts very quickly. Drop until part of the nanocarbon The array 20 is stunned. Before the dissolution, some of the highest temperature positions of the carbon nanotube array 20 will appear bright spots, and some of the nanotube arrays 20 are blown from the party point to form two opposing carbon nanotubes. Array segment 26, the plurality of carbon nanotube segments 26 form a plurality of carbon nanotube bundles with a uniform sentence = at the refining point. The carbon nanotube bundle is a field emission tip. The nanocarbon and the first electrode The carbon nanotubes at the junction of 28 or the second electrode 3〇 maintain the morphology of the carbon nanotube array unchanged. The distance between the tops of the field emission tips is 5 nm-1 〇〇 nanometer, that is, the emitter end M-100 nm. Engraving 3 is not used in the vacuum fusing method of this embodiment. During the heating process, since the carbon nanotube array 20 undergoes a vacuum annealing process, the carbon in the nano carbon ~= 2〇 The mechanical strength of the pipe will be improved, 'good mechanical properties. Dan W Foot has the advantage of the field emitter provided by the application and its preparation method. First, due to the nano carbon in the emitter The tube array segment is directly fused by the carbon nanotube array and the end face is neat, that is, the field emitter The corpse private card anti-official array dissolves the end face of the field emission tip of the 4 P wheat emitter. The emitter can achieve uniform electron emission, which in turn makes it have a better field:: hook: '·二二' Since the field emission tip includes more than 2 officials', the distance between the tops of the field emission tips is greater than the distance between the carbon carbon nanotubes, that is, 15 201001484 between the electron emission ends, and the electric field shielding effect between the electron emission ends It is weaker. Therefore, the field emission current of the field emitter is large, and the practical application performance is good. 13.
