초록

This paper describes a formation of the Mo-silicide on Mo tip to compare the emission characteristics of the Mo tip. Cone-shaped Mo tip arrays were fabricated and silicidized by evaporating a 15nm-thick a-Si film on Mo tip arrays and annealing it in inert ambient at the temperature of $1000\;^{\circ}C$ for 60 sec. The $Mo_5Si_3$ phase of Mo-silicide was observed through X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Although the gate voltage of the Mo-silicide tip increased by 38 V to obtain the current level of 20 nA/tip, the dependence of emission current on vacuum level was improved.
