Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a carbon film that is remarkably excellent in current voltage (IV) characteristics. This is achieved by way of a carbon film structure, two or more carbon film assembly units 12 are formed on a substrate 10. The carbon film assembly units 12 comprise: a stem-like carbon film 14 which is made into a film in the shape of a long and thin needle; and a branch-like carbon film cluster 16 which is made into a film so as to surround the stem-like carbon film 14 from the halfway to the lower part of this stem-like carbon film 14. The stem-like carbon film 14 has the shape of a long and thin needle having a configuration which has a spiral streak-like step part 18 towards the distal end at the circumference face of a near tip and in which the radius becomes small as going to the distal end.
