Abstract

The invention relates to a nano-silicon / silicon-nitride film type electron source and a manufacturing method thereof. The electron source is composed of a bottom electrode, a nano-silicon / silicon nitride layer, and a top electrode, wherein the bottom electrode, the nano-silicon / silicon nitride layer, and the top electrode are successively deposited on a substrate. The nano-silicon / silicon nitride layer uses a silicon nitride film embedded with nanometer silicon or a multi-layer film formed by nano-silicon layers and silicon nitride layers in an alternate mode. During the preparation process of the nano-silicon / silicon nitride layer, an intrinsic standoff ratio of argon flowing into a film plating cavity to nitrogen flowing into a film plating cavity is adjusted or sputtering powers of a silicon target and a silicon nitride target are adjusted to control the sizes and density of silicon grains of the manufactured nano-silicon / silicon nitride layer, so that the grain size of the silicon grain can reach 3 to 6 nm. The manufacturing process of the nano-silicon / silicon-nitride film type electron source is compatible with the processing technology of the silicon-based microelectronics; and the electron emission property is stable.
