Abstract
Discontinuous diamond films were deposited on silicon by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD). The diamond films were sharpened by argon ion etching. Field emission turn-on field was drastically lowered after sharpening. Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were used for structural characterization. Possible mechanisms of field emission from the etched field emitter are discussed.
