Abstract

Field electron emission model of hydrogen-terminated n-type diamond was discussed. Ultra-violet photoelectron spectroscopy characterizations indicated that the electron affinity was -0.7 eV and an internal barrier of about 3.5 eV existed on the surface. Field electron emission properties depended on anode-diamond distances. Schottky barrier lowering model suggested that this internal barrier was lowered by the electric field (5.4x106 V/cm) applied onto the negative electron affinity surface of the H-terminated n-type diamond.
