Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Ion beam irradiation effects on a novolac positive-tone photoresist and its application to micron-size field emitters have been investigated. The electrical resistivity of the photoresist film is found to decrease after Ar ion implantation at doses on the order of 10^<16> cm^<-2<. Baking of the photoresist prior to irradation at a high temperature is preferred to produce electrical conductivity. P ions show weaker effects than Ar ions. Raman spectroscopy shows that carbon-carbon bonds such as the graphite bond are produced due to ion bombardment. The field emission of electrons is observed from emitters made of the ion-irradiated photoresist. The emission current is shown to be fairly stable when it is compared with an emission characteristic of. synthesized diamond. Fabrication of field emitter arrays using a mold technique is demonstrated. The field emitter array shows emission at a current level of about 40 μA.
