Abstract:
An electron source having a cathode and a permanent magnet perforated by a plurality of channels extending between opposite poles thereof. The magnet generates, in each channel, a magnetic field which forms electrons received from the cathode into an electron beam for guidance towards a target. An electrode grid is disposed between the cathode and the magnet for controlling flow of electrons from the cathode into each channel. A magnetic field null region of each magnetic field is positioned at a location remote from the electrode grid. Because the null region is positioned remotely from the grid electrodes, flow of electrons can be improved without increasing electrode drive voltage.
Abstract:
A single aperture ion source is used to produce a ribbon shaped ion beam through which a targer may be transported. At an aperture of the ion source the ion beam converges in a vertical direction and diverges in a horizontal direction. The ion beam is passed through the poles of an analyzing magnet. A waist of the ion beam in the vertical direction occurs at the analyzing magnet. The analyzing magnet causes the ion beam to converge in the horizontal direction. Immediately before the ion beam strikes the target, the ion beam is passed through a focussing magnet which renders the ion beam trajectories substantially parallel. Between the ion source and the target, the ion beam may be passed through one or more resolving slits, as necessary, to trim the ion beam and assure that a focused, uniform beam reached the target. At the target, the analyzing magnet projects an inverted image of the aperture of the ion source. Further, a cross section of the ion beam is in the shape of a ribbon, the length of the ribbon being wider than the target. Using a conveyer the target is passed through the ion beam resulting in a uniform implantation of ions.

Abstract:
To provide an aberration correction configuration that can realize both an aberration correction function for a long focus and an aberration correction function for a short focus. While having a conventional aberration correction apparatus configuration that has two rotationally symmetric lenses arranged between two multipole lenses, three rotationally symmetric lenses are disposed between an objective lens and a multipole lens instead of the conventional arrangement in which two rotationally symmetric lenses are disposed therebetween. When using the objective lens with a long focal length, aberrations are corrected using two rotationally symmetric lenses among three rotationally symmetric lenses disposed between the objective lens and the multipole lens. When using the objective lens with a short focal length, e.g. for high resolution observation, aberrations are corrected using two rotationally symmetric lenses of a different combination to those used for a long focus, among the three rotationally symmetric lenses disposed between the objective lens and the multipole lens. (See FIG. 3)
Abstract:
A display device having a cathode for emitting electrons and a permanent magnet. A two dimensional array of channels extends between opposite poles of the magnet. The magnet generates, in each channel, a magnetic field for forming electrons from the cathode into an electron beam. An electrode grid is disposed between the cathode and the magnet for controlling flow of electrons from the cathode into each channel. A screen has a phosphor coating having a plurality of groups of adjacent pixels facing the side of the magnet remote from the cathode. Each group corresponds to a different channel. A deflector sequentially addresses the electron beam from each channel to each pixel of the corresponding group.

Abstract:
An electron source comprises cathode means and a permanent magnet. A plurality of channels disposed in the magnet in a two dimensional array of rows and columns and extending between opposite poles of the magnet. The magnet generates, in each channel, a magnetic field which forms electrons received from the cathode means into an electron beam for guidance towards a target. Grid electrode means are disposed between the cathode means and the magnet for controlling flow of electrons from the cathode means into each channel. The grid electrode means comprises a plurality of parallel row conductors and a plurality of parallel column conductors arranged orthogonally to the row conductors. Each channel is located at a different intersection of a row conductor and a column conductor. Electric field isolation means reduces leakage of electric fields from each intersection.
