The electron emission switching property of the multilayer structures, which constitute of nitrogen doped tetrahedral amorphous carbon (n(+)-ta-C) film and intrinsic te-C layer fabricated by the filtered cathodic vacuum are (FCVA) technique has been investigated. Low voltage DC bias (9V) was applied between the top and bottom layers in conjunction with the conventional electric field applied between the cathode and anode. It has been demonstrated that by varying the low DC bias polarity, the on-set electric field for the electron emission can be varied by similar to+/-6 V/mu m compared to the unbiased situation. A possible mechanism for the multilayer field emission and the switching property is proposed.
