Abstract

The invention relates to a field emission cathode with an electron emission-enhanced mixed phase nitride film and a preparation method for the field emission cathode, and belongs to the technical field of field emission cathodes. The cathode is made of a mixture of GaN and AlN, has a hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure and a cubic sphalerite crystal structure, and comprises the component of AlxGa1-xN, wherein x is more than 0 and is less than or equal to 0.95. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: putting a substrate and a target material formed by sintering the GaN and the AlN into a laser pulse deposit system, vacuumizing, heating the substrate, introducing protective gas, and preparing a nanometer film with an aluminum gallium nitride wurtzite hexagonal phase and a sphalerite cubic phase which coexist by using the laser pulse deposit system. Compared with a single-phase film, the nanometer film has the advantage that: the field emission cut-in voltage and the maximum current density are improved by 2 to 5 orders of magnitude. By the nanometer film with the two phases which coexist, the improvement on the field emission performance of the film and the commercialization of a field emission display is facilitated, so the field emission cathode has an obvious application prospect and a potential economic benefit.
