Modeling, experimental studies, and trade-offs between sputter deposition and MOVPE grown AlN anode films and GaN/AlN multiple quantum wells (MQW) indicate the feasibility of 1’’-size FED emitting at 225 nm wavelength with 1 mW power, capable to quickly deactivate the SARS-CoV-2 virus.falseAlN filmscathodoluminescenceefficiency dropfar-UVCField emission deviceGaN/AlN quantum wellsShockley-Read-Hall recombinationtext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
