Abstract

Due to its unique structure, discoveries in nanoscale vacuum channel transistors (NVCTs) have demonstrated novel vacuum nanoelectronics. In this paper, the structural parameters of planar-type NVCTs were simulated, which illustrated the influence of emitter tip morphology on emission performance. Based on simulations, we successfully fabricated back-gate and side-gate NVCTs, respectively. Furthermore, the electric properties of NVCTs were investigated, showing the potential to realize the high integration of vacuum transistors.
