[0063] In this embodiment, an apparatus and method for treating and improving gas as a target object by irradiation of electrons are described.

[0064] Such as Figure 10 As shown, the treatment and improvement device of this embodiment is characterized in that it includes: a casing 20 having a gas inlet 22 for supplying the target gas into the casing, and a gas inlet 22 for supplying the treated and improvement gas to the outside and an accelerating electrode (anode electrode) 50 arranged in the housing in such a manner as to face the electron emission portion 10 of the cold cathode electron emitter 1 . This cold cathode electron emitter is the same as that used in the first embodiment. Thus, repeated description thereof is omitted. In order to avoid the influence of humidity on the electron emission efficiency of the cold cathode electron emitter, it is preferable to use dry gas with low moisture content as the gas provided into the housing 20 through the gas inlet 22 . ...

Abstract

The present invention provides an apparatus and method for treating and improving a target object using electrons, by which it is possible to use electrons to uniformly And effectively deal with and improve the target audience. The method uses a cold-cathode electron emitter having the ability to emit electrons from a planar electron-emitting portion according to the tunneling effect, and preferably includes a pair of electrodes and a strong field drift layer comprising nanocrystalline silicon disposed between the electrodes . A target object is exposed to electrons emitted from the planar electron emitting portion by applying a voltage between the electrodes. Preferably, the energy of the emitted electrons is selected from the range of 1 eV to 50 keV, preferably 1 eV to 100 eV.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for manipulating and improving target objects using electronics. Background technique [0002] In the past, electron radiation has been used to surface modify, disinfect or clean target objects. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication [kokai] No. 2002-6094 discloses an electron radiation device that can be used to form a bridge structure or to purify exhaust gas. The apparatus is provided with an electron gun having a heating wire, a high voltage power supply for supplying current to the heating wire to generate electrons, an accelerating electrode for accelerating the generated electrons to obtain an electron beam, and an electromagnet for deflecting the electron beam . [0003] However, since the filament is an electron source with point-like or linear electron-emitting portions, scanning electron beams is required to treat and improve a relatively wide surface area of ​​a target obj...
