Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an electron source, and in particular, to a processing method for adjusting the diameter of the tip of a substrate portion serving as an electron beam emission source to a desired size. The substrate processed in this way is used in equipment using electrons extracted into a vacuum, such as electron beam application equipment such as electron microscopes and electron beam exposure equipment, scanning tunneling microscopes (STM) using tunneling currents, and atomic force using atomic forces. Probe microscopes such as microscopes (AFM) and charged particle beam devices for observing / processing / inspecting samples such as ion microscopes. Background technique
[0002] When a strong electric field is applied on the metal surface, the potential barrier has a slope at the junction with the vacuum, when the electric field becomes 10 9 When the V / m series is higher than that, the potential barrier bec...
