Abstract

In the invention, copper mesh grid or sheet copper having holes is as anode with voltage applied. Funicular nano carbon tubes are as field emission cathode. Material of cathode emission is fixed on current conducting substrate, and axis direction of specimen is perpendicular to surface of substrate. Distance between anode and cathode is 0.1- l mm. Operating vacuum degree is controlled at region 1X10-3 - 1X10 -8 Pa, and voltage at 0.2-3 kV is applied between anode and cathode. Part of electrons of field emission is able to passing through anode so as to obtain field emission current in low voltage. Features of the invention are: outstanding performances of field emission, operability and operating at low voltage. Under condition of voltage not higher than lkV, field emission current is in tens microampere, and largest reaches to hundreds microampere.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electron source, in particular to a method for assembling a low-voltage field emission electron source. Background technique [0002] Electron sources, also known as electron guns, have important applications in the fields of electron microscopy, video display technology, X-ray tubes, and light-emitting elements. Due to the shortcomings of large volume, high energy consumption, and short service life, traditional thermal emission electron sources cannot meet the needs of modern technology development. As one of the main products for replacement, the cold cathode field emission electron source has the advantages of low energy consumption, long emission life, and high emission intensity. It is expected to replace the thermal emission electron source and become the mainstream product of the next generation in the near future. [0003] Traditional field emission cathode materials mainly include titanium (Ti), molybdenum (Mo), t...
