Abstract :
We have fabricated novel sputter-induced carbon nanoneedle field-emitters and Si electron-transparent films for application to electron-beam-pumped light sources. The sputter-induced carbon nanoneedle field-emitters exhibited a stable electron emission of 10 muA at an average field of 6V/mum. The 1.5mum-thick Si electron-transparent films achieved an electron transmittance of about 60% at an acceleration voltage of 27kV. An electron-beam-pumped light source was successfully demonstrated by the excitation of rare gases such as Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe
