Description

場發射電子器件 Field emission electronics

本發明涉及一種場發射電子器件,尤其涉及一種應用奈米碳管作為電子發射體的場發射電子器件。 The present invention relates to a field emission electronic device, and more particularly to a field emission electronic device using a carbon nanotube as an electron emitter.

場發射電子器件在低溫或者室溫下工作,與電真空器件中的熱發射電子器件相比具有功耗低、回應速度快及低放氣等優點,因此用場發射電子器件有望替代電真空器件中的熱發射電子器件。 Field-emitting electronic devices operate at low temperatures or room temperature, and have the advantages of low power consumption, fast response speed, and low bleed air compared with thermal-emitting electronic devices in electric vacuum devices. Therefore, field emission electronic devices are expected to replace electric vacuum devices. Thermal emission electronics in the middle.

奈米碳管(Carbon Nanotube,CNT)係一種新型碳材料,由日本研究人員Iijima在1991年發現,請參見"Helical Microtubules of Graphitic Carbon",S.Iijima,Nature,vol.354,p56(1991)。奈米碳管具有極優異的導電性能、良好的化學穩定性及大的長徑比,且其具有幾乎接近理論極限的尖端表面積(尖端表面積越小,其局部電場越集中),因而奈米碳管在場發射領域具有潛在的應用前景。目前的研究表明,奈米碳管係已知的最好的場發射材料之一,他的尖端尺寸只有幾奈米至幾十奈米,具有低的開啟電壓,可傳輸極大的電流密度,並且電流穩定,使用壽命長,因而非常適合作為一種極佳的點電子源,應用在場發射電子器件中作為電子發射體。 Carbon Nanotube (CNT) is a new type of carbon material discovered by Japanese researcher Iijima in 1991. See "Helical Microtubules of Graphitic Carbon", S. Iijima, Nature, vol. 354, p56 (1991) . The carbon nanotubes have excellent electrical conductivity, good chemical stability and large aspect ratio, and have a tip surface area close to the theoretical limit (the smaller the tip surface area, the more concentrated the local electric field), thus the nanocarbon The tube has potential application prospects in the field of field emission. Current research shows that one of the best field emission materials known for the carbon nanotube system, his tip size is only a few nanometers to tens of nanometers, has a low turn-on voltage, can transmit a very large current density, and The current is stable and the service life is long, so it is very suitable as an excellent point electron source for use as an electron emitter in field emission electronic devices.

傳統的場發射電子器件的電子發射體包括一奈米碳管長線。該奈 米碳管長線具有一第一端及與第一端相對的第二端,該奈米碳管長線的第一端可與一陰極電極電連接,該奈米碳管長線的第二端從陰極電極向外延伸。所述奈米碳管長線的第二端用做電子發射端。然而,所述奈米碳管長線的製備方法為將一較長的奈米碳管線機械切割後獲得,因此,奈米碳管長線的電子發射端為平齊結構。該種平齊結構的電子發射端的場增強因子較小,且電子發射端處複數奈米碳管緊密結合在一起,相互之間存在電場屏蔽效應,所以該種電子發射體的電子發射能力較差,導致該場發射器件的場發射能力較差。 The electron emitter of a conventional field emission electronic device includes a long carbon nanotube line. The nai The long carbon nanotube has a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, the first end of the long carbon nanotube may be electrically connected to a cathode electrode, and the second end of the long carbon nanotube is from the cathode The electrodes extend outward. The second end of the long carbon nanotube line is used as an electron-emitting end. However, the preparation method of the nano carbon tube long line is obtained by mechanically cutting a long nano carbon line, and therefore, the electron emission end of the long carbon nanotube line is flush. The electron emission end of the flush structure has a small field enhancement factor, and the plurality of carbon nanotubes at the electron emission end are closely combined, and there is an electric field shielding effect between each other, so the electron emission capability of the electron emitter is poor. The field emission capability of the field emission device is poor.

有鑑於此,提供一種具有較佳電子發射能力的場發射電子器件實為必要。 In view of this, it is necessary to provide a field emission electronic device having a better electron emission capability.

Most of the carbon nanotubes in the tubular structure of the carbon nanotubes are connected end to end by a van der Waals force and spirally extend around a hollow linear axis. It can be understood that there are also a small number of randomly arranged carbon nanotubes in the tubular structure of the carbon nanotube. There is no rule in the direction in which the few randomly arranged carbon nanotubes extend. However, the few randomly arranged carbon nanotubes do not affect the arrangement and extension direction of most of the carbon nanotubes in the tubular structure of the carbon nanotubes. Here, the length direction of the linear axis is defined as the extending direction of the plurality of carbon nanotubes, and the direction in which the plurality of carbon nanotubes are spirally formed around the linear axis Defined as the spiral direction.

所述奈米碳管管狀結構的一端具有複數電子發射尖端106,所述複數電子發射尖端106圍繞所述線狀軸心呈環形排列。具體地,所述奈米碳管管狀結構在沿線狀軸心長度的方向具有一第一端102及與該第一端102相對的一第二端104。所述奈米碳管管狀結構的第一端102與所述行電極120a電連接,所述奈米碳管管狀結構的第二端104向所述陽極電極180a延伸作為電子發射體10的電子發射端106。本實施例中,該奈米碳管管狀結構垂直於行電極120a設置。在第二端104,所述奈米碳管管狀結構的整體直徑沿遠離行電極120a的方向逐漸減小,並收縮形成一類圓錐形的縮口,作為所述第一電子發射體10的電子發射部108。所述第一電子發射體10在應用時,在電場作用下從電子發射部108發射出電子,由於第一電子發射體10的電子發射部108為類圓錐形,可使電子發射部108的局部電場集中,因此可增強電子發射部108的場增強因子,使第一電子發射體10易於發射出電子。 One end of the tubular structure of the carbon nanotube has a plurality of electron emission tips 106, and the plurality of electron emission tips 106 are arranged in a ring shape around the linear axis. Specifically, the carbon nanotube tubular structure has a first end 102 and a second end 104 opposite the first end 102 in a direction along the length of the linear axis. The first end 102 of the tubular structure of the carbon nanotube is electrically connected to the row electrode 120a, and the second end 104 of the tubular structure of the carbon nanotube extends toward the anode electrode 180a as electron emission of the electron emitter 10. End 106. In this embodiment, the carbon nanotube tubular structure is disposed perpendicular to the row electrode 120a. At the second end 104, the overall diameter of the tubular structure of the carbon nanotubes gradually decreases in a direction away from the row electrode 120a, and contracts to form a conical shaped constriction as electron emission of the first electron emitter 10. Part 108. The first electron emitter 10 emits electrons from the electron emission portion 108 under the action of an electric field. When the electron emission portion 108 of the first electron emitter 10 is conical, the electron emission portion 108 can be partially The electric field is concentrated, so that the field enhancement factor of the electron-emitting portion 108 can be enhanced, making it easy for the first electron-emitting body 10 to emit electrons.

請一併參閱圖7,所述類圓錐形的電子發射部108的末端具有一開 口111,及複數突出的奈米碳管束。即,所述奈米碳管管狀結構具有複數電子發射尖端106的一端具有一開口111,所述奈米碳管管狀結構從開口111處延伸出複數奈米碳管束作為複數電子發射尖端106。該複數奈米碳管束為所述奈米碳管管狀結構從第二端104延伸出來的複數由奈米碳管組成的束狀結構。該複數奈米碳管束圍繞所述線狀軸心呈環狀排列,且向陽極電極180a延伸,作為複數電子發射尖端106。由於該複數電子發射尖端106呈環形排列,因此,該複數電子發射尖端106之間的間距較大,降低了該複數電子發射尖端106之間的電場屏蔽效應。該複數奈米碳管束的延伸方向基本一致,即該複數電子發射尖端106基本沿所述線狀軸心的長度方向向陽極電極180a的方向延伸,所述遠離奈米碳管管狀結構的方向係指遠離奈米碳管管狀結構的第一端102的方向延伸。進一步地,該複數奈米碳管束圍繞所述線狀軸心呈發散狀排列,即該複數電子發射尖端106的延伸方向逐漸遠離所述線狀軸心。當該複數奈米碳管束呈發散狀排列時,雖然所述電子發射部108的徑向尺寸為沿遠離奈米碳管管狀結構的第一端102方向逐漸減小,但複數電子發射尖端106呈發散性的排列,進而電子發射部108的末端向外略微擴張,從而複數電子發射尖端106之間的距離沿延伸方向逐漸變大,使開口111處的複數電子發射尖端106相互間的間距更加擴大,降低了電子發射尖端106之間的電場屏蔽效應。所述開口111的徑向尺寸範圍為4微米-6微米,本實施例中,所述開口111為圓形,所述開口111的徑向尺寸為5微米,因此位於開口111的相對兩端的電子發射尖端106的間距大於等於5微米。 Referring to FIG. 7, the end of the conical electron-emitting portion 108 has an opening. Port 111, and a plurality of protruding carbon nanotube bundles. That is, the carbon nanotube tubular structure having a plurality of electron-emitting tips 106 has an opening 111 at one end thereof, and the carbon nanotube tubular structure extends from the opening 111 as a plurality of carbon nanotube bundles as a plurality of electron-emitting tips 106. The plurality of carbon nanotube bundles are bundle structures of a plurality of carbon nanotube tubes extending from the second end 104 of the tubular structure of the carbon nanotubes. The plurality of carbon nanotube bundles are arranged in a ring shape around the linear axis and extend toward the anode electrode 180a as a plurality of electron emission tips 106. Since the plurality of electron-emitting tips 106 are arranged in a ring shape, the spacing between the plurality of electron-emitting tips 106 is large, reducing the electric field shielding effect between the plurality of electron-emitting tips 106. The plurality of carbon nanotube bundles extend substantially in the same direction, that is, the plurality of electron emission tips 106 extend substantially in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the linear axis toward the anode electrode 180a, and the direction away from the tubular structure of the carbon nanotubes Refers to extending away from the first end 102 of the tubular structure of the carbon nanotube. Further, the plurality of carbon nanotube bundles are arranged in a divergent manner around the linear axis, that is, the extension direction of the plurality of electron emission tips 106 gradually moves away from the linear axis. When the plurality of carbon nanotube bundles are arranged in a divergent manner, although the radial size of the electron-emitting portion 108 is gradually decreased in a direction away from the first end 102 of the tubular structure of the carbon nanotube, the plurality of electron-emitting tips 106 are The divergent arrangement, and the end of the electron-emitting portion 108 is slightly expanded outward, so that the distance between the plurality of electron-emitting tips 106 gradually increases in the extending direction, so that the distance between the plurality of electron-emitting tips 106 at the opening 111 is further enlarged. The electric field shielding effect between the electron emission tips 106 is reduced. The opening 111 has a radial dimension ranging from 4 micrometers to 6 micrometers. In the embodiment, the opening 111 is circular, and the opening 111 has a radial dimension of 5 micrometers, so the electrons located at opposite ends of the opening 111 are The pitch of the emission tips 106 is greater than or equal to 5 microns.

請一併參閱圖8,每個電子發射尖端106包括複數基本平行排列的奈米碳管,並且每個電子發射尖端106的頂端突出有一根奈米碳管,即所述複數平行排列的奈米碳管的中心位置突出一根奈米碳管。該突出的奈米碳管的底端(即突出的奈米碳管的非自由端)周圍還圍繞有複數奈米碳管,該複數圍繞的奈米碳管起到固定該突出的奈米碳管的作用。該突出奈米碳管的直徑小於5奈米。本實施例中突出的奈米碳管的直徑為4奈米。由於該突出的奈米碳管的直徑極其小,因此,該突出的奈米碳管具有十分大的長徑比,進而增加了該突出的奈米碳管的場增強因子,使該突出的奈米碳管的場發射性能優異。所述複數電子發射尖端106中相鄰的電子發射尖端106中的突出的奈米碳管之間的距離為0.1微米至2微米。相鄰的兩電子發射尖端106中的突出的奈米碳管之間的距離與突出的奈米碳管直徑的比例的範圍為20:1至500:1。可以理解,相鄰的電子發射尖端106的突出的奈米碳管之間的間距遠大於突出的奈米碳管的直徑,可有效降低相鄰的突出奈米碳管之間的電場屏蔽效應。 Referring to FIG. 8 together, each of the electron emission tips 106 includes a plurality of carbon nanotubes arranged substantially in parallel, and a tip of each electron emission tip 106 protrudes from a carbon nanotube, that is, the plurality of parallel arranged nanometers. A carbon nanotube protrudes from the center of the carbon tube. The bottom end of the protruding carbon nanotube (ie, the non-free end of the protruding carbon nanotube) is also surrounded by a plurality of carbon nanotubes, and the plurality of surrounding carbon nanotubes serve to fix the protruding nanocarbon The role of the tube. The protruding carbon nanotubes have a diameter of less than 5 nanometers. The protruding carbon nanotubes in this embodiment have a diameter of 4 nm. Since the diameter of the protruding carbon nanotube is extremely small, the protruding carbon nanotube has a very large aspect ratio, thereby increasing the field enhancement factor of the protruding carbon nanotube, so that the protruding nanotube The carbon nanotubes have excellent field emission properties. The distance between the protruding carbon nanotubes in adjacent electron-emitting tips 106 of the plurality of electron-emitting tips 106 is between 0.1 micrometers and 2 micrometers. The ratio of the distance between the protruding carbon nanotubes in the adjacent two electron-emitting tips 106 to the diameter of the protruding carbon nanotubes ranges from 20:1 to 500:1. It can be understood that the spacing between the protruding carbon nanotubes of the adjacent electron-emitting tips 106 is much larger than the diameter of the protruding carbon nanotubes, which can effectively reduce the electric field shielding effect between adjacent protruding carbon nanotubes.

將所述的線狀支撐體通過化學方法、物理方法或機械方法移除。當採用活潑的單質金屬材料或金屬合金作該線狀支撐體時,如鐵或鋁及其合金,可以使用一酸性溶液與該活潑的金屬材料反應,將該線狀支撐體移除,例如採用濃度為0.5mol/L的鹽酸溶液腐蝕鋁線,將鋁線移除。當採用不活潑的單質金屬材料或金屬合金作該線狀支撐體時,如金或銀及其合金,可以使用加熱蒸發的方法,移除所述線狀支撐體;當採用高分子材料作線狀支撐體時,可以使用一拉伸裝置沿所述線狀支撐體的中心軸方向拉出所述線狀支撐體。可以理解,根據線狀支撐體直徑的不同可以得到不同內徑的管狀奈米碳管預製體。金線的移除可以通過將所述奈米碳管層及金線的兩端分別連接一電極,在真空環境中,通過電極給奈米碳管層及金線通電流,使奈米碳管層及金線升溫,當溫度升高 到高於金線的熔點時,金線被蒸發從而去除。 The linear support is removed by chemical, physical or mechanical means. When a reactive elemental metal material or metal alloy is used as the linear support, such as iron or aluminum and its alloy, an acidic solution may be reacted with the active metal material to remove the linear support, for example, The aluminum wire was etched by a hydrochloric acid solution having a concentration of 0.5 mol/L, and the aluminum wire was removed. When an inactive elemental metal material or metal alloy is used as the linear support, such as gold or silver and its alloy, the linear support may be removed by heating and evaporation; when a polymer material is used as the line In the case of the support, the linear support may be pulled out along the central axis direction of the linear support using a stretching device. It can be understood that the tubular inner diameter carbon nanotube preforms having different inner diameters can be obtained according to the diameter of the linear support body. The gold wire can be removed by connecting the two ends of the carbon nanotube layer and the gold wire to an electrode, and in a vacuum environment, the carbon nanotube layer and the gold wire are passed through the electrode to pass the current to make the carbon nanotube. Layer and gold wire warm up when temperature rises When it is above the melting point of the gold wire, the gold wire is evaporated to be removed.

請參閱圖9,本實施例中,該管狀奈米碳管預製體中的大多數奈米碳管均首尾相連地沿著線狀軸心的長度方向螺旋狀延伸。該管狀奈米碳管預製體中的大多數奈米碳管中每一奈米碳管與在延伸方向上相鄰的奈米碳管通過凡得瓦力首尾相連。該大多數奈米碳管中每一奈米碳管的延伸方向與所述管狀奈米碳管預製體的線狀軸心的長度方向形成一定的交叉角α,α大於0°小於等於90°。 Referring to FIG. 9, in the embodiment, most of the carbon nanotubes in the tubular carbon nanotube preform are spirally extended end to end along the length of the linear axis. Each of the carbon nanotubes in the majority of the nanotubes in the tubular carbon nanotube preform is connected end to end with a vanadium tube in the extending direction. The extending direction of each of the carbon nanotubes in the majority of the carbon nanotubes forms a certain intersection angle α with the longitudinal direction of the linear axis of the tubular carbon nanotube preform, and α is greater than 0° and less than or equal to 90°. .

步驟(S40),將該管狀奈米碳管預製體熔斷,形成所述電子發射體10。 In step (S40), the tubular carbon nanotube preform is melted to form the electron emitter 10.

該管狀奈米碳管預製體的熔斷方法包括電流熔斷法、電子轟擊法及鐳射照射法。所述管狀奈米碳管預製體在沿其中空線狀軸心的長度方向的一處位置發生熔斷,所述管狀奈米碳管預製體在熔斷處形成複數奈米碳管束,形成二電子發射體10。 The method of fusing the tubular carbon nanotube preform includes a current fusing method, an electron bombardment method, and a laser irradiation method. The tubular carbon nanotube preform is melted at a position along the length direction of the hollow axis, and the tubular carbon nanotube preform forms a plurality of carbon nanotube bundles at the fuse to form a two-electron emission Body 10.

方法一:電流熔斷法,即將該管狀奈米碳管預製體通電流加熱熔斷。方法一可以在真空環境下或惰性氣體保護的環境下進行,其具體包括以下步驟:首先,將該管狀奈米碳管預製體懸空設置於一真空室內或充滿惰性氣體的反應室。 Method 1: Current fusing method, that is, the tubular carbon nanotube preform is heated and blown by current. The method 1 can be carried out under a vacuum environment or an inert gas protection environment, and specifically includes the following steps: First, the tubular carbon nanotube preform is suspended in a vacuum chamber or a reaction chamber filled with an inert gas.

該真空室包括一可視視窗及一陽極接線柱與一陰極接線柱,且其真空度低於1×10-1帕,優選為2×10-5帕。該管狀奈米碳管預製體兩端分別與陽極接線柱及陰極接線柱電性連接。本實施例中,該陽極接線柱與陰極接線柱為直徑0.5毫米的銅絲導線。 The vacuum chamber includes a visible window and an anode terminal and a cathode terminal, and has a vacuum of less than 1 × 10 -1 Pa, preferably 2 × 10 -5 Pa. The tubular carbon nanotube preform is electrically connected to the anode terminal and the cathode terminal respectively. In this embodiment, the anode terminal and the cathode terminal are copper wire wires having a diameter of 0.5 mm.

所述的充滿惰性氣體的反應室結構與真空室相同,惰性氣體可以係氦氣或氬氣等。 The reaction chamber filled with an inert gas has the same structure as the vacuum chamber, and the inert gas may be helium or argon.

其次,在該管狀奈米碳管預製體兩端施加一電壓,通入電流加熱熔斷。 Next, a voltage is applied across the tubular carbon nanotube preform, and a current is applied to heat the fuse.

在陽極接線柱與陰極接線柱之間施加一40伏特的直流電壓。本技術領域人員應當明白,陽極接線柱與陰極接線柱之間施加的電壓與所選的奈米碳管預製體的內徑、外經、壁厚及長度有關。在直流條件下通過焦耳熱加熱管狀奈米碳管預製體。加熱溫度優選為2000K至2400K,加熱時間小於1小時。在真空直流加熱過程中,通過管狀奈米碳管預製體的電流會逐漸上升,但很快電流就開始下降直到管狀奈米碳管預製體被熔斷。在熔斷前,管狀奈米碳管預製體上會出現一亮點,管狀奈米碳管預製體從該亮點處熔斷。 A 40 volt DC voltage is applied between the anode and cathode posts. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the voltage applied between the anode and cathode posts is related to the inner diameter, outer diameter, wall thickness and length of the selected carbon nanotube preform. The tubular carbon nanotube preform is heated by Joule heat under direct current conditions. The heating temperature is preferably from 2000 K to 2400 K, and the heating time is less than 1 hour. During vacuum DC heating, the current through the tubular carbon nanotube preform gradually rises, but the current begins to drop until the tubular carbon nanotube preform is blown. Before the fusing, a bright spot appears on the tubular carbon nanotube preform, from which the tubular carbon nanotube preform is blown.

由於管狀奈米碳管預製體中各點的電阻不同,使得各點的分電壓也不同。在管狀奈米碳管預製體中電阻較大的一點,會得到較大的分電壓,從而具有較大的加熱功率,產生較多的焦耳熱,使該點的溫度迅速升高。在熔斷的過程中,該點的電阻會越來越大,導致該點的分電壓也越來越大,同時,溫度也越來越大直到該點斷裂,形成二電子發射體10。在熔斷的瞬間,陰極與陽極之間會產生一非常小的間隙,同時在熔斷點位置附近,由於碳的蒸發,真空度較差,這些因素會使熔斷的瞬間在熔斷點附近產生氣體電離。電離後的離子轟擊熔斷的管狀奈米碳管預製體的端部,在所述管狀奈米碳管預製體端部形成複數奈米碳管束,從而在該奈米碳管管狀結構的一端形成複數電子發射尖端106。由於在熔斷的 過程中,越靠近熔斷點,碳原子蒸發的越多,從而使管狀奈米碳管預製體的一端形成一縮口。 Since the resistance of each point in the tubular carbon nanotube preform is different, the partial voltages at the respective points are also different. In the tubular carbon nanotube preform, a larger resistance will result in a larger partial voltage, which has a larger heating power, and generates more Joule heat, so that the temperature at this point rises rapidly. During the fusing process, the resistance at this point will become larger and larger, causing the partial voltage at that point to become larger and larger, and at the same time, the temperature is also increased until the point is broken to form the two electron emitter 10. At the moment of melting, a very small gap is generated between the cathode and the anode, and at the same time, near the position of the melting point, the degree of vacuum is poor due to evaporation of carbon, and these factors cause gas ionization to occur near the melting point at the moment of melting. The ionized bombardment blows the end of the blown tubular carbon nanotube preform, forming a plurality of carbon nanotube bundles at the end of the tubular carbon nanotube preform, thereby forming a plurality at the end of the tubular structure of the carbon nanotube The electron emission tip 106. Due to the blown In the process, the closer to the melting point, the more the carbon atoms evaporate, thereby forming a constriction at one end of the tubular carbon nanotube preform.

本實施例採用的真空熔斷法,避免了奈米碳管預製體熔斷後得到的奈米碳管管狀結構一端的複數場發射尖端的污染,而且,加熱過程中奈米碳管預製體的機械強度會有一定提高,使之具備優良的場發射性能。 The vacuum melting method used in the embodiment avoids the contamination of the complex field emission tip at one end of the tubular structure of the carbon nanotube obtained after the carbon nanotube preform is melted, and the mechanical strength of the carbon nanotube preform during heating. There will be some improvement to make it have excellent field emission performance.

方法二:電子轟擊法,即首先加熱該管狀奈米碳管預製體,然後提供一電子發射源,使用該電子發射源轟擊該管狀奈米碳管預製體,使該管狀奈米碳管預製體在被轟擊處熔斷。方法二具體包括以下步驟:首先,加熱該管狀奈米碳管預製體。 Method 2: electron bombardment method, that is, first heating the tubular carbon nanotube preform, and then providing an electron emission source, using the electron emission source to bombard the tubular carbon nanotube preform to make the tubular carbon nanotube preform Blowed at the bombardment. The method 2 specifically includes the following steps: First, heating the tubular carbon nanotube preform.

將該管狀奈米碳管預製體放置於一真空系統。該真空系統的真空度維持1×10-4帕至1×10-5帕。在該管狀奈米碳管預製體中通入電流,加熱該管狀奈米碳管預製體至1800K至2500K。 The tubular carbon nanotube preform is placed in a vacuum system. The vacuum system maintains a vacuum of 1 x 10 -4 Pa to 1 x 10 -5 Pa. An electric current is introduced into the tubular carbon nanotube preform to heat the tubular carbon nanotube preform to 1800K to 2500K.

其次,提供一電子發射源,使用該電子發射源轟擊該管狀奈米碳管預製體,使該管狀奈米碳管預製體在被轟擊處熔斷。 Secondly, an electron emission source is provided, and the tubular carbon nanotube preform is bombarded with the electron emission source, so that the tubular carbon nanotube preform is blown at the bombardment.

提供一電子發射源,該電子發射源可採用奈米碳管線。將該電子發射源接入一低電位,該管狀奈米碳管預製體接入一高電位。將該電子發射源與該管狀奈米碳管預製體垂直放置,並使該電子發射源指向該管狀奈米碳管預製體被轟擊處。該電子發射源發射的電子束轟擊該管狀奈米碳管預製體的管壁,使該管狀奈米碳管預製體被轟擊處的溫度升高。這樣一來,該管狀奈米碳管預製體被 轟擊處具有最高的溫度。該管狀奈米碳管預製體會在該轟擊處熔斷,形成奈米碳管管狀結構,該奈米碳管管狀結構的一端形成複數電子發射尖端106。 An electron emission source is provided, and the electron emission source can be a carbon nanotube. The electron emission source is connected to a low potential, and the tubular carbon nanotube preform is connected to a high potential. The electron emission source is placed perpendicular to the tubular carbon nanotube preform, and the electron emission source is directed to the tubular carbon nanotube preform to be bombarded. The electron beam emitted from the electron emission source bombards the tube wall of the tubular carbon nanotube preform, so that the temperature of the tubular carbon nanotube preform is bombarded. In this way, the tubular carbon nanotube preform is The bombardment has the highest temperature. The tubular carbon nanotube preform is melted at the bombardment to form a tubular structure of carbon nanotubes having a plurality of electron-emitting tips 106 formed at one end of the tubular structure.

進一步地,上述電子發射源相對於該管狀奈米碳管預製體的具體定位,可以通過一操作臺來實現。其中,該電子發射源與該管狀奈米碳管預製體之間的距離為50微米至2毫米。本發明實施例優選將該管狀奈米碳管預製體固定到一可以實現三維移動的操作臺上。通過調節該管狀奈米碳管預製體在三維空間的移動,使該電子發射源與該管狀奈米碳管預製體在同一平面內並且互相垂直。該電子發射源與該管狀奈米碳管預製體之間的距離為50微米。 Further, the specific positioning of the electron emission source relative to the tubular carbon nanotube preform can be realized by a console. Wherein, the distance between the electron emission source and the tubular carbon nanotube preform is 50 micrometers to 2 millimeters. In an embodiment of the invention, the tubular carbon nanotube preform is preferably fixed to a station on which three-dimensional movement can be achieved. By adjusting the movement of the tubular carbon nanotube preform in three dimensions, the electron emission source is in the same plane and perpendicular to the tubular carbon nanotube preform. The distance between the electron emission source and the tubular carbon nanotube preform is 50 microns.

可以理解,為了提供更大的場發射電流以提高該管狀奈米碳管預製體局域的溫度,可以使用複數電子發射源同時提供場發射電流。進一步地,還可以使用其他形式的電子束來實現該管狀奈米碳管預製體的定點熔斷,比如傳統的熱陰極電子源發射的電子束或者其他常見場發射電子源發射的電子束。 It will be appreciated that in order to provide a greater field emission current to increase the temperature of the tubular carbon nanotube preform local, a plurality of electron emission sources may be used to simultaneously provide a field emission current. Further, other forms of electron beams can also be used to effect spot-spotting of the tubular carbon nanotube preform, such as an electron beam emitted by a conventional hot cathode electron source or an electron beam emitted by other common field emission electron sources.

方法三:鐳射照射法,即以一定功率及掃描速度的鐳射照射該管狀奈米碳管預製體,在該管狀奈米碳管預製體通入電流,該管狀奈米碳管預製體在被鐳射照射處熔斷,形成所述電子發射體10。方法三具體包括以下步驟:首先,以一定功率及掃描速度的鐳射照射該管狀奈米碳管預製體。 Method 3: a laser irradiation method, that is, irradiating the tubular carbon nanotube preform with a laser of a certain power and a scanning speed, and introducing a current into the tubular carbon nanotube preform, the tubular carbon nanotube preform being laser-injected The electron beam 10 is formed by melting at the irradiation place. The third method specifically includes the following steps: First, the tubular carbon nanotube preform is irradiated with laser light of a certain power and scanning speed.

將上述的管狀奈米碳管預製體放置於空氣或者含有氧化性氣體的 氣氛中。以一定功率及掃描速度的鐳射照射該管狀奈米碳管預製體。當該管狀奈米碳管預製體的某一位置被鐳射照射溫度升高後,空氣中的氧氣會氧化該位置處的奈米碳管,產生缺陷,從而使該位置處的電阻變大。 Place the above tubular carbon nanotube preform in air or contain an oxidizing gas In the atmosphere. The tubular carbon nanotube preform is irradiated with laser light of a certain power and scanning speed. When a position of the tubular carbon nanotube preform is raised by the laser irradiation temperature, oxygen in the air oxidizes the carbon nanotube at the position to cause a defect, thereby increasing the electric resistance at the position.

可以理解,鐳射照射該管狀奈米碳管預製體的時間及該鐳射的功率成反比。即鐳射功率較大時,鐳射照射該管狀奈米碳管預製體的時間較短;鐳射功率較小時,鐳射照射該管狀奈米碳管預製體的時間較長。 It will be appreciated that the time that the laser illuminates the tubular carbon nanotube preform is inversely proportional to the power of the laser. That is, when the laser power is large, the time for the laser to irradiate the tubular carbon nanotube preform is short; when the laser power is small, the laser irradiates the tubular carbon nanotube preform for a long time.

鐳射的功率為1瓦~60瓦,掃描速度為100-2000毫米/秒。優選的,鐳射的功率為12瓦,掃描速度為1000毫米/秒。鐳射可以係二氧化碳鐳射、半導體鐳射、紫外鐳射等任何形式的鐳射,只要能產生加熱的效果即可。 The laser power is 1 watt to 60 watts and the scanning speed is 100-2000 mm/sec. Preferably, the laser power is 12 watts and the scanning speed is 1000 mm/second. The laser can be any type of laser such as carbon dioxide laser, semiconductor laser, ultraviolet laser, etc., as long as it can produce heating effect.

其次,在該管狀奈米碳管預製體通入電流,管狀奈米碳管預製體在被鐳射照射處熔斷,形成二奈米碳管管狀結構,且奈米碳管管管狀結構的一端形成有複數電子發射尖端106。 Secondly, a current is applied to the tubular carbon nanotube preform, and the tubular carbon nanotube preform is melted by the laser irradiation to form a tubular structure of the carbon nanotubes, and one end of the tubular structure of the carbon nanotube tube is formed. A plurality of electron emission tips 106.

將經過鐳射照射後的管狀奈米碳管預製體放置於一真空系統中,該奈米碳管管狀結構兩端分別與陽極接線柱及陰極接線柱電性連接後通入電流。該管狀奈米碳管預製體中被鐳射照射的部位係溫度最高的部位,最後該管狀奈米碳管預製體會在該處熔斷,形成二奈米碳管管狀結構。 The tubular carbon nanotube preform after laser irradiation is placed in a vacuum system, and the carbon nanotube tubular structure is electrically connected to the anode terminal and the cathode terminal respectively, and then an electric current is supplied. The portion of the tubular carbon nanotube preform that is irradiated with laser light is the portion with the highest temperature, and finally the tubular carbon nanotube preform is melted there to form a tubular structure of two carbon nanotubes.

可以理解,還可以將該管狀奈米碳管預製體設置在一真空或者充滿惰性氣體的氣氛中。該管狀奈米碳管預製體在被電流加熱的同 時,以一定功率及掃描速度的鐳射照射該管狀奈米碳管預製體。由於係真空或者惰性氣體的氣氛,故該管狀奈米碳管預製體可以被穩定地加熱。當該管狀奈米碳管預製體的某一位置被鐳射照射溫度升高後,該位置係溫度最高的部位,最後該管狀奈米碳管預製體會在該處燒斷。 It will be appreciated that the tubular carbon nanotube preform can also be placed in a vacuum or an atmosphere filled with an inert gas. The tubular carbon nanotube preform is heated by current The tubular carbon nanotube preform is irradiated with laser light of a certain power and scanning speed. The tubular carbon nanotube preform can be stably heated due to a vacuum or an atmosphere of an inert gas. When a position of the tubular carbon nanotube preform is raised by the laser irradiation temperature, the position is the highest temperature portion, and finally the tubular carbon nanotube preform is blown there.

由於管狀奈米碳管預製體兩端分別固定於陽極接線柱與陰極接線柱,並且相鄰奈米碳管之間存在凡得瓦力,因此在熔斷的過程中,熔斷處的奈米碳管在遠離熔斷處並與之相鄰的奈米碳管的作用下,其螺旋方向逐漸趨向於延伸方向,即,奈米碳管的螺旋方向與所述延伸方向所形成的交叉角α逐漸接近於0°並分散,形成所述複數發散的電子發射尖端106。 Since the two ends of the tubular carbon nanotube preform are respectively fixed to the anode terminal and the cathode terminal, and the van der Waals force exists between adjacent carbon nanotubes, the carbon nanotube at the fuse is blown during the fusing process. Under the action of the carbon nanotubes away from the fuse and adjacent thereto, the spiral direction gradually tends to extend, that is, the intersection angle α formed by the spiral direction of the carbon nanotubes with the extending direction is gradually close to 0° and dispersed to form the plurality of diverging electron emission tips 106.

通過上述三種熔斷管狀奈米碳管預製體的方法得到的電子發射體10中的奈米碳管的質量得到了極大的提高。這一方面係由於奈米碳管經過熱處理後缺陷減少,另一方面係因為富含缺陷的石墨層容易在高溫下崩潰,剩下一些質量較高的石墨層。本實施例中採用電流熔斷法熔斷上述管狀奈米碳管預製體。 The quality of the carbon nanotubes in the electron emitter 10 obtained by the above three methods of fusing a tubular carbon nanotube preform is greatly improved. This is due to the reduced defects of the carbon nanotubes after heat treatment, and the fact that the graphite layer rich in defects is liable to collapse at high temperatures, leaving some higher quality graphite layers. In the embodiment, the tubular carbon nanotube preform is melted by a current fusing method.

本發明提供的第一電子發射體10的製備方法具有如下優點:其一,該種電子發射體10的製備方法簡單,可以提高電子發射體10的製備效率;其二,通過熔斷的方法使管狀奈米碳管預製體熔斷後得到的奈米碳管管狀結構的一端形成有複數電子發射尖端106,進而使該奈米碳管管狀結構具有較好的電子發射性能。 The method for preparing the first electron emitter 10 provided by the invention has the following advantages: First, the preparation method of the electron emitter 10 is simple, and the preparation efficiency of the electron emitter 10 can be improved; and second, the tubular method is made by fusing. One end of the tubular structure of the carbon nanotube obtained after the carbon nanotube preform is melted is formed with a plurality of electron emission tips 106, so that the tubular structure of the carbon nanotubes has better electron emission performance.

The difference is that the electron emitter 20 further includes a conductive linear structure 26 disposed inside the tubular structure of the carbon nanotube. That is, the electrically conductive linear structure 26 is disposed at a position of a hollow linear axis of the tubular structure of the carbon nanotubes, and replaces a hollow linear axis.

在熔斷的過程中,設置於奈米碳管管狀結構內部的導電線狀結構26在電流的作用下,或者在電子束、鐳射及電流的共同作用下,該導電線狀結構26及奈米碳管管狀結構處於很高的溫度。當溫度達到一定程度,導電線狀結構26及奈米碳管管狀結構中熔點較低之一將會首先熔斷。若導電線狀結構26首先熔斷,則奈米碳管管狀結構中與導電線狀結構26對應的一點的電阻將會迅速升高,溫度迅速升高,從而使奈米碳管管狀結構及導電線狀結構26在同一點熔斷。若奈米碳管管狀結構先熔斷,則導電線狀結構26中與奈 米碳管管狀結構相對應的一點的電阻將會迅速升高,溫度迅速升高,從而使導電線狀結構26也在該點熔斷,最終導電線狀結構26及奈米碳管管狀結構在同一點熔斷。當所述導電線狀結構26為金屬材料時,在熔斷的過程中,金屬原子發生蒸發,從而使熔斷後的奈米碳管管狀結構的縮口部份內的金屬不存在。 In the process of fusing, the electrically conductive linear structure 26 disposed inside the tubular structure of the carbon nanotubes is under the action of electric current, or under the action of electron beam, laser and current, the electrically conductive linear structure 26 and the nano carbon The tubular structure is at a very high temperature. When the temperature reaches a certain level, one of the lower melting points of the electrically conductive linear structure 26 and the tubular structure of the carbon nanotube will be first melted. If the conductive linear structure 26 is first blown, the electrical resistance of the point corresponding to the conductive linear structure 26 in the tubular structure of the carbon nanotube will rapidly increase, and the temperature rapidly rises, thereby making the tubular structure and the conductive wire of the carbon nanotube. The structure 26 is blown at the same point. If the tubular structure of the carbon nanotube is first melted, the conductive linear structure 26 and the nai The resistance of the corresponding point of the tubular structure of the carbon tube will increase rapidly, and the temperature will rise rapidly, so that the conductive linear structure 26 is also blown at this point, and finally the conductive linear structure 26 and the tubular structure of the carbon nanotube are in the same A little blown. When the electrically conductive linear structure 26 is a metallic material, during the fusing process, the metal atoms are evaporated, so that the metal in the constricted portion of the blown carbon nanotube tubular structure is absent.

The fluorescent region 190a and the cathode coated on the anode electrode 180a The emitter 150a is disposed oppositely, and the portion of the electrons is illuminated on the fluorescent region 190a, thereby realizing the display function of the field emission electronic device 100a. Since the row electrodes 120a are insulated from each other and the column electrodes 140a are insulated from each other, the cathode emitter 150a at different positions can be controlled to be emitted by selectively applying different voltages between the different row electrodes 120a and the column electrodes 140a.

Inside the through holes 170a and 170b. The spacer 130a is formed with a plurality of via holes 170a at positions corresponding to the plurality of cathode emitters 150a.

The position of the plurality of cathode emitters 150a is a position at which the plurality of row electrodes 120a and the plurality of column electrodes 140a intersect. The positions of the plurality of cathode emitters 150a correspond to the plurality of phosphor regions 190a, respectively. That is, the position at which the plurality of row electrodes 120a and the plurality of column electrodes 140a intersect corresponds to a phosphor particle region 190a.

第二實施例中,所述隔離體130b與列電極140b均未設置有通孔,所述陰極發射體150b位於相鄰的兩列電極140b之間,所述列電極140b與行電極120b相交的位置對應於螢光粉區域190b。所述陰極發射體150b對應設置於列電極140b的兩側。 In the second embodiment, neither the spacer 130b nor the column electrode 140b is provided with a through hole, the cathode emitter 150b is located between the adjacent two columns of electrodes 140b, and the column electrode 140b intersects with the row electrode 120b.

分別施加不同電壓給行電極120b、列電極140b及陽極電極180b(一般情況下,行電極120b為接地或零電壓,列電極140b的電壓為幾十伏至幾百伏左右,陽極電極180b的電壓高於列電極140b的電壓)。對應於每個螢光粉區域190b,設置於所述列電極140b兩側且靠近列電極140b的電子發射體首先在行電極120b、列電極140b的電場作用下發射出電子。該部份電子向列電極140b的方向運動,之後在陽極電極180b的電場作用下,最終到達陽極電極180b。由於熒光區域190b位於列電極140b的正上方,電子在陽極電極180b的作用下,打在陽極電極180b上塗敷的熒光區域190b,從而實現場發射電子器件100b的顯示功能。由於行電極120b之間相互絕緣、列電極140b之間相互絕緣,因此,通過選擇性地在不同的行電極120b及列電極140b之間施加不同的電壓,可控制不同位置的陰極發射體150b發射電子,電子打在透明陽極180b的不同位置,從而使陽極電極180b上的熒光區域190b的不同位置發光,使場發射電子器件100b根據需要顯示不同的畫面。 Different voltages are applied to the row electrode 120b, the column electrode 140b, and the anode electrode 180b (in general, the row electrode 120b is grounded or zero voltage, and the voltage of the column electrode 140b is about several tens of volts to several hundreds of volts, and the voltage of the anode electrode 180b Higher than the voltage of the column electrode 140b).

The portion of the electron moves in the direction of the column electrode 140b, and then reaches the anode electrode 180b under the action of the electric field of the anode electrode 180b. Since the fluorescent region 190b is located directly above the column electrode 140b, electrons are applied to the fluorescent region 190b coated on the anode electrode 180b by the action of the anode electrode 180b, thereby realizing the display function of the field emission electronic device 100b. Since the row electrodes 120b are insulated from each other and the column electrodes 140b are insulated from each other, the cathode emitter 150b can be controlled to be emitted at different positions by selectively applying different voltages between the different row electrodes 120b and the column electrodes 140b. Electrons and electrons are struck at different positions of the transparent anode 180b, thereby causing different positions of the fluorescent regions 190b on the anode electrode 180b to emit light, so that the field emission electronic device 100b displays different screens as needed.
