The invention discloses a micro-needle tip
annular array cathode electron gun and a preparation method of a
cathode thereof, and belongs to the technical field of vacuum electronic devices, the
electron gun comprises a
cathode, a grid
electrode, a double focusing
electrode and an
anode; specifically, the cathode is of an
annular array structure and is divided into two parts by a cone along a symmetry axis, the tangent plane is a bottom surface, the tip end faces inwards, and the cathode is uniformly distributed in a cathode groove, is in a
concave surface shape and has a pre-focusing effect; the
micro needle tip design of the cathode significantly increases the field enhancement factor, thereby improving the
electric field intensity of the tip, improving the emission
current density, and reducing the turn-on
voltage. The grid is a rhombic grid hole grid mesh, the side length of the rhombus is consistent with the
radius of a cathode groove,
electric field distribution is optimized by adjusting the
acute angle of the rhombus, and the field
emission efficiency is remarkably improved; the first focusing
electrode is a hyperbolic focusing electrode, the inner wall of the first focusing electrode is in a hyperbolic
curve shape, and the focusing effect is enhanced by guiding an
electric field line to bend towards the
anode along the central axis; the
electron gun has
high field emission performance and high beam
compression ratio.
