Field-induced electron emission is obtained from 15 mm diameter CVD polycrystalline diamond films deposited on silicon wafers from a microwave discharge. These films were grown such that the percentage of non-diamond carbon is highest at the edge of the film. It was found that the majority of the emission sites also occured at the edge of the film.
