The invention provides a fin-type structure array nano
air channel diode, which comprises an insulating substrate, a fin-type structure
cathode, a nano
air channel, a fin-type structure
anode and a
metal support column, and is characterized in that a tip structure and surface nano
structure modification are designed on the fin-type structure
cathode, so that efficient field emission of electrons can be realized, and meanwhile, the field
emission efficiency is improved. The fin-type structure
cathode is fully surrounded by the fin-type structure
anode, high-efficiency field emission
electron collection is realized, and the
diode with large
field emission current is realized through the arrayed fin-type structure cathode and
anode. According to the fin-type structure array nano
air channel diode, high-speed response and ultra-large bandwidth can be obtained by utilizing the ballistic transport characteristic of electrons in a nano air channel, when the fin-type structure array nano air channel diode is used as a
photodiode, light absorption can be enhanced by designing the size and periodic distribution of a fin-type structure cathode, high
quantum efficiency is obtained, and the
quantum efficiency is improved. And meanwhile, high-power and high-bandwidth
millimeter wave / terahertz signals can be generated, and high-response and high-sensitivity photoelectric detection can be realized.
