Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Field emission cathodes have been examined, intending to apply for electron beam systems such as electron microscopes and electron beam exposure systems. The most important factors for such cathodes are the brightness and the stability. Field emission cathodes are very bright, but the electron emission fluctuates very much. Materials for the field emission cathode should be examined systematically in a view of stable emission. Nitride needles of transition metals of Ti, Zr, and Nb are obtained by heating the elemental metal needles in an ammonia gas atmosphere. The NbN needle gave the most stable field emission current among the nitrides examined here.
