    摘要: Provided are a photocathode plate capable of stably achieving a high sensitive property, and an electron tube using such a photocathode plate.In a photomultiplier tube 1, an insulating layer 63 is formed between a semiconductor electron emission layer 51 in a photocathode plate 23A, and a first electrode 65 electrically connected to an electron releasing portion 59. This insulating layer 63 permits the photocathode plate 23A to be cleaned by heat cleaning at a high temperature, in a stage before formation of an active layer 61 on an exposed region of the semiconductor electron emission layer 51 in the electron releasing portion 59. This makes it feasible to effectively clean the exposed region of the semiconductor electron emission layer 51 in the electron releasing portion 59 and to stabilize the physical properties of the exposed region. In consequence, a higher sensitive property can be stably achieved in the photocathode plate 23A and in the photomultiplier tube 1 using the photocathode plate 23A.

    摘要: The invention relates to a photocathode having a structure that permits a decrease in the radiant sensitivity at low temperatures is suppressed so that the S/N ratio is improved. In the photocathode, a light absorbing layer is formed on the upper layer of a substrate. An electron emitting layer is formed on the upper layer of the light absorbing layer. A contact layer having a striped-shape is formed on the upper layer of the electron emitting layer. A surface electrode composed of metal is formed on the surface of the contact layer. The interval between bars in the contact layer is adjusted so as to become 0.2 μm or more but 2 μm or less.

    摘要: A semiconductor photocathode has first and second III-V compound semiconductor layers doped with a p-type impurity and joined to each other to make a heterojunction. The second III-V compound semiconductor layer functions as a light absorbing layer, an energy gap of the second III-V compound semiconductor layer is smaller than that of the first III-V compound semiconductor layer, and Be or C is used as the p-type dopant in each semiconductor layer. At this time, the second III-V compound semiconductor layer may be deposited on the first III-V compound semiconductor layer. The first III-V compound semiconductor layer and the second III-V compound semiconductor layer may contain at least one from each group of (In, Ga, Al) and (As, P, N).
