    摘要: The present invention provides a field emission electron gun and its operating method. The field emission electron gun includes: an electron source including a fibrous carbon substance and a conductive base material for supporting the substance; a drawer device for causing electrons to be emitted by field emission; an accelerator for accelerating the electrons; and a means for heating the electron source. In the electron gun, the electron source is heated and held at the heating temperature before field emission, and thereafter the lowest heating temperature causing a range of fluctuation in the field emission current to fall within a predetermined value is adjusted when needed. By employing the electron gun and its operating method of the present invention, provided are various electron beam applied apparatuses each capable of continuously operating for a long time while being low in noise and high in resolution.

    摘要: The objective of the present application is to suppress the occurrence of flares and to reduce the amount of secondary electrons arising at an aperture provided to the lead-out electrode of an electron gun. By coating a thin film having a low rate of secondary electron emission such as carbon onto the aperture of a lead-out electrode closest to an electron source in an electron gun, it is possible to reduce the amount of secondary electrons arising. Secondary electrons arising at the lead-out electrode, are reduced, and so as a result, flare is reduced. By incorporating two apertures to the lead-out electrode, and applying to the two apertures a potential that is equipotential to the lead-out electrode, it is possible to eliminate an electric field from seeping from under to over the lead-out electrode. Secondary electrons arising when an electron beam impacts the lead-out electrode cease to incur force in the direction of passage from the lead-out electrode, and consequently there is a reduction in flares.
