Abstract
The diamond films were deposited on silicon tip arrays by the microwav e plasma chemical vapor deposition technique. The field emission prope rty of diamond films deposited on tips (D tips) was compared with that of diamond on silicon wafers (D wafer). It shows that the effective w ork function becomes large at the high electrical field for the D tip sample, and that can be explained as an effect of the diamond films be ing in a breakdown state.
