摘要:
An electrically heated planar cathode for use in miniature x-ray tubes may be spiral design laser cut from a thin tantalum alloy ribbon foil (with grain stabilizing features). Bare ribbon is mounted to an aluminum nitride substrate in a manner that is puts the ribbon in minimal tension before it is machined into the spiral pattern. The spiral pattern can be optimized for electrical, thermal, and emission characteristics.
摘要:
It is possible to provide an electron emission cathode, an electron emission source having a high-luminance and narrow energy width by using diamond and an electronic device using them. The diamond electron discharge cathode has a monocrystal diamond at least at a part of it. The diamond electron emission cathode includes a sharpened section and a heating section. The diamond electron emission cathode has a columnar shape having the sharpened section having an electron emission section and is formed by at least two types of semiconductor having different electric characteristics. One of the types constituting the semiconductor is an n-type semiconductor containing 2 × 1015 cm-3 of n-type impurities or above and the other type is a p-type semiconductor containing 2 × 1015 cm-3 of p-type impurities or above. The p-type semiconductor is in contact with the n-type semiconductor. A pair of current introduction terminals directly heats the heating section in parallel to the contact surface and emits a part of the introduced electrons from the electron emission section.

摘要:
A bonded article including a single crystal cathode with an improved work function, for use in projection electron beam lithography, such as the SCALPEL™ system. Because of its single crystalline structure, the single crystal cathode has only slightly misoriented grains. As a result, the single crystal cathode has fewer structural non-uniformities than conventional micro-polycrystalline foils, and therefore a more uniform emission characteristic. The single crystal cathode may be made of at least one of tantalum, tungsten, rhenium, and molybdenum. A local bonding technique for bonding a single crystal cathode with a conventional member. The local bonding technique does not recrystallize a center of the single crystal cathode, and therefore produces a bonded article which is usable in a projection electron lithography system, such as the SCALPEL™ system. The local bonding technique may be laser welding and the single crystal cathode may be made of at least one of tantalum, tungsten, rhenium, and molybdenum. The member may be a conventional filament and the filament may be made of one of tungsten, a tungsten-rhenium alloy, and a tungsten-tantalum alloy.
摘要:
A wire shaped electron source includes a heating core wire (10, 20a and 20b), an insulator (11, 22a, and 22b) partially provided on the heating core wire (10, 20a, and 20b), and an electron emission material provided on the heating core (10, 20a, and 20b) between the insulators (10, 20a, and 20b). The thickness of the electron emission material is less than the height of the insulators (10, 20a, and 20b). When the wire shape electron source is installed in the flat panel display device, the insulator (11, 21a, and 21b) prevents the electron emission material from vibrating and thus preventing any contact with the inner wall of the flat panel display device.
