Abstract: A photocathode can include a body fabricated of a wide bandgap semiconductor material, a metal layer, and an alkali halide photocathode emitter. The body may have a thickness of less than 100 nm and the alkali halide photocathode may have a thickness less than 10 nm. The photocathode can be illuminated with a dual wavelength scheme.

Abstract: A flat top laser beam is used to generate an electron beam with a photocathode that can include an alkali halide. The flat top profile can be generated using an optical array. The laser beam can be split into multiple laser beams or beamlets, each of which can have the flat top profile. A phosphor screen can be imaged to determine space charge effects or electron energy of the electron beam.

Abstract: A photocathode structure, which can include one or more of Cs2Te, CsKTe, CsI, CsBr, GaAs, GaN, InSb, CsKSb, or a metal, has a protective film on an exterior surface. The protective film includes one or more of ruthenium, nickel, platinum, chromium, copper, gold, silver, aluminum, or an alloy thereof. The protective film can have a thickness from 1 nm to 10 nm. The photocathode structure can be used in an electron beam tool like a scanning electron microscope.

Abstract: A photocathode structure, which can include an alkali halide, has a protective film on an exterior surface of the photocathode structure. The protective film includes ruthenium. This protective film can be, for example, ruthenium or an alloy of ruthenium and platinum. The protective film can have a thickness from 1 nm to 20 nm. The photocathode structure can be used in an electron beam tool like a scanning electron microscope.

Abstract: An emitter with a protective cap layer on an exterior surface of the emitter is disclosed. The emitter can have a diameter of 100 nm or less. The protective cap layer includes ruthenium. Ruthenium is resistant to oxidation and carbon growth. The protective cap layer also can have relatively low sputter yields to withstand erosion by ions. The emitter may be part of a system with an electron beam source. An electric field can be applied to the emitter and an electron beam can be generated from the emitter. The protective cap layer may be applied to the emitter by sputter deposition, atomic layer deposition (ALD), or ion sputtering.

Abstract: An emitter containing a metal boride material has an at least partly rounded tip with a radius of 1 μm or less. An electric field can be applied to the emitter and an electron beam is generated from the emitter. To form the emitter, material is removed from a single crystal rod to form an emitter containing a metal boride material having a rounded tip with a radius of 1 μm or less.
