abstract

  • A method of using GaN as low electron affinity material modified by photoelectrochemical (PEC) or anodic etching to achieve field enhancement structures and quantum size tips was presented. The latter caused the splitting of electron energy-levels. It was suggested that the decreased effective work function and hence the turn-on voltage is the result of these two factors.
