摘要： A robust cold cathode uses an electron emitting construct design possibly for an x-ray emitter device. The electron beam emitted by the emitting construct is focused and accelerated by an electrical field towards an electron anode target. A shield is provided to prevent a cold cathode from being damaged by ion bombardment in high-voltage applications and a non-emitter zone may provide a robust ion bombardment zone. The system is further configured to provide an angled target anode or a stepped target anode to further reduce the ion bombardment damage.

摘要： Controlling total emission current of an electron emitting construct in an x-ray emitting device by providing a cathode, providing multiple active areas each active area having a gated cone electron source, including multiple emitter tips arranged in an array, a gate electrode, and a gate interconnect lead connected to the gate electrode, providing an x-ray emitting construct comprising an anode, the anode being an x-ray target, situating the x-ray emitting construct facing the active areas face each other, selecting a set of active areas, and activating selected active areas by conductively connecting a voltage source to their associated the gate electrode interconnect lead.
