An impregnated cathode having a complex porous body of one-body construction which is mounted in a metal sleeve and in which a partition layer made of a porous material having a porosity less than 17% is arranged in close contact with an impregnated layer made of a porous material containing an electron emissive material. The aforementioned porous partition layer takes the place of the conventional partition plate of refractory metal. The impregnated cathode according to the present invention can not only have its size reduced without any difficulty but also enjoy a high emission current density with a remarkably small dispersion.

A method of manufacturing a thin-film field-emission electron source which is of a sandwich structure of a substrate - metallic film-insulating film - metallic film and which has at least one minute cavity and a field-emitter of, for example, a conical shape within the cavity, comprises the steps of (i) forming on a substrate a first layer of metallic film pattern for current supply, (ii) depositing a second layer film made of an electron emissive material onto the entire area of the substrate provided with the first layer, and thereafter subjecting the second layer film to a mesa etch by a photoetching process, to form a conical emitter on the first layer film, (iii) forming a third layer made of an insulating material, the third layer having a height substantially equal to the level of a tip portion of the emitter, (iv) forming a fourth layer of metallic film pattern as an accelerating electrode, and (v) etching the third layer, so as to expose the extremity of the emitter.According to the manufacturing method, a thin-film field-emission electron source can be readily produced merely by the combination between the standard evaporation techniques and etching techniques.

摘要:
An electron tube cathode has a composite suppression layer structure interposed between the base metal and the electron-emitting material to suppress an interface layer formed through the reaction of the base metal with the electron emissive material. The composite layer structure includes a thin layer of Pt or Re and a layer of oxide of Zr and/or Hf. As a result, the formation of the interface layer is prevented so that the useful life of the electron tube cathode is prolonged.
