Embodiment 1

[0023] Embodiment 1: In this embodiment, a silicon wafer is used as a substrate and a metal mask is used as an example for illustration. Specific steps are as follows:

[0024] 1. Use semiconductor standard cleaning technology for silicon wafers (such as: Yan Zhirui, Development Direction of Semiconductor Silicon Wafer Cleaning Technology, Special Equipment for Electronic Industry, 2003, September, p23-26), to clean single-sided polished silicon wafers.

[0025] 2. Attach a metal mask with holes and regularly arranged on a clean silicon wafer, and use magnetron sputtering to coat a metal Sn film with a thickness of about 50 nanometers. A Ni catalyst layer is then plated on it, with a thickness of about 20 nanometers. A Ni / Sn binary composite catalyst array layer is formed.

[0026] 3. The substrate is plated with the Ni / Sn binary composite catalyst array facing down, facing the middle of the burning ethanol (analytical pure) flame for 1-30 minutes, and growing carbon nanotub...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing a carbon nano-tube array field emission cathode, including the following steps that: the mask is made by a metal mask plate or the photoresist; a low melting point metal layer is deposited on a substrate, and a catalyst layer is deposited on the low melting point metal layer, forming a lower melting point metal-catalyst composite lattice; and then the lower melting point metal-catalyst composite lattice is burnt in a flame for 1 to 10 minutes, and the stable carbon nano-tube emission array is formed after the annealing and ageing treatment of the electric field. The method for preparing a carbon nano-tube array field emission cathode has the advantages of easy operation, low cost and unnecessary nitride or oxide transition layer; moreover, the invention can grow the carbon nano-tube array under an open atmospheric environment(vacuum equipments are not needed) and finish the preparation of the growth of the carbon nano-tube and the assembly of the cold cathode array at one time; moreover, the prepared carbon nano-tube array has the advantages of large area, even and localized growth and desirable emission characteristics. The carbon nano-tube array prepared by the invention can be used as the emission cathode to be applied to a field emission displayer or a luminous light source, an X-ray electron source, a mass spectrograph electron source and other occasions where the electron source is needed.
