摘要:
An electron beam irradiation device (1) irradiates an electron beam from an electrode (12) that is connected to a tip of a conductive part (21) which projects inside a vacuum container (11), to the exterior of the vacuum container (11) via a metal foil (111) that constitutes a portion of a peripheral wall of the vacuum container (11). The electron beam irradiation device (1) includes a tubular insulator (22) that surrounds the periphery of the conductive part (21) in the vacuum container (11), and an amorphous carbon film (23) that covers the outer peripheral surface of the insulator (22).

Embodiments of systems, devices, and methods relate to an electrode standoff isolator. An example electrode standoff isolator includes a plurality of adjacent insulative segments positioned between a proximal end and a distal end of the electrode standoff isolator. A geometry of the adjacent insulative is configured to guard a surface area of the electrode standoff isolator against deposition of a conductive layer of gaseous phase materials from a filament of an ion source.

An insulator for an ion source is positioned between the apertured ground electrode and apertured suppression electrode. The insulator has an elongate body having a first end and a second end, where one or more features are defined in the elongate body and increase a gas conductance path along a surface of the elongate body from the first end to the second end. One or more of the features is an undercut extending generally axially or at a non-zero angle from an axis of the elongate body into the elongate body. One of the features can be a rib extending from a radius of the elongate body.

An insulation structure of high voltage electrodes includes an insulator having an exposed surface and a conductor portion, which includes a joint region in contact with the insulator, and a heat-resistant portion provided, along at least part of an edge of the joint region, in such a manner as to be adjacent to the exposed surface of the insulator. The heat-resistant portion is formed of an electrically conductive material whose melting point is higher than that of the conductor portion. The heat-resistant portion may be so provided as to have a gap between the insulator and the exposed surface.

A high-voltage insulation device (300) for use in a charged-particle optical apparatus comprises a plurality of rigid pillars (320) made of electrically insulating material. These pillars (320) are arranged around a central passage (310) which traverses the insulating device along its longitudinal axis (L), and the two ends of each pillar are configured to be respectively fixed to two separate electrostatic housings (221, 231) of the charged-particle optical apparatus by means of two respective end plates (311, 312), with the pillars (320) being oriented at an angle so as to be inclined with regard to said longitudinal axis (L). Advantageously, the pillars are mechanically adjustable with regard to their effective length, and each pillar (320) is arranged outside the central passage with its two ends at either of the first and second end plates (311, 312), preferably in a zig-zag arrangement.

One embodiment relates to a high-voltage electron gun including an insulator stand-off having a resistive layer. The resistive layer is at least on an interior surface of the insulator stand-off. A cathode holder is coupled to one end of the insulator 115 stand-off, and an anode is coupled to the other end. The resistive layer advantageously increases the surface breakdown field strength for the insulator stand-off and so enables a compact design for the high-voltage electron gun. Other embodiments, aspects and feature are also disclosed.
