Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of secondary electron emission coefficient measurement of dielectric materials, and relates to a method and system for measuring the secondary electron emission coefficient of dielectric materials. BACKGROUND
[0002] Secondary electron emission, also known as secondary emission, refers to the phenomenon of electron escape from the surface of a material when particles with a certain initial energy bombard the material. The secondary electron emission coefficient is one of the important physical parameters for measuring the secondary electron emission phenomenon, and is defined as the ratio of the number of secondary electrons emitted by the material to the number of electrons bombarding the material surface. In practical applications, the number of electrons cannot be accurately counted, and the secondary electron emission coefficient is generally measured by indirectly calculating the ratio of the electron current emitted by the material surface to the electron current bombarding the material surface. The requirements for the secondary electron emission coefficient are different in different application scenarios. Secondary electron emission can cause micro-discharge effects in space high-power microwave components, electron cloud effects in particle accelerators, and charging and dielectric breakdown phenomena induced by secondary electron emission on the surface of dielectric materials in space vehicles, etc. In these scenarios, it is desirable to have a smaller secondary electron emission coefficient. In the application fields of photomultiplier tubes, microchannel plates, etc. that utilize electron multiplication, it is desirable to have a larger secondary electron emission coefficient.
[0003] The conductive ability of dielectric materials is poor, and if the secondary electron emission coefficient is not 1, the material surface will accumulate electric charges, thereby causing measurement errors of the secondary electron emission coefficient. Therefore, before each measurement, the accumulated electric charges on the material surface must be removed. The currently commonly used surface charge removal techniques mainly include: ① natural discharge. The discharge time of the electric charges of dielectric materials is long, and it cannot be ensured that the electric charges are completely removed; ② heating. The conductivity of dielectric materials generally increases with the increase of temperature, but only the secondary electron emission coefficient at high temperature can be obtained; and ③ low-energy electron scanning. The low-energy electrons are used to bombard and neutralize the positive charges accumulated on the surface of the material, and only the measurement of the part of the curve where the secondary electron emission coefficient of the material is greater than 1 can be realized, and the positive charges may be left on the surface of the dielectric material or negative charges may be accumulated on the surface of the dielectric material due to the uncontrollable neutralization process. It can be seen that the surface charge removal technology of dielectric materials is a key technical obstacle for accurately measuring the secondary electron emission coefficient. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application aims to solve the problem in the prior art that the accumulated electric charges on the surface of dielectric materials cannot be completely removed or the complete secondary electron emission coefficient curve cannot be obtained when measuring the secondary electron emission coefficient of dielectric materials, resulting in errors in the measurement of the secondary electron emission coefficient, and to provide a method and system for measuring the secondary electron emission coefficient of dielectric materials.

[0050] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0051] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of the application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0052] It should be noted that: similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in the subsequent drawings.
[0053] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that if the terms "upper", "lower", "horizontal", "inner" and the like indicating the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or position relationship when the product of the present application is used, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and therefore cannot be understood as indicating or implying that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application. In addition, the terms "first", "second" and the like are only used for differentiation and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0054] In addition, if the term "horizontal" appears, it does not mean that the component must be absolutely horizontal, but can be slightly inclined. For example, "horizontal" only means that its direction is relatively more horizontal than "vertical", and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly inclined.
[0055] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, if the terms "arrangement", "installation", "connection", "connection" appear, they should be understood in a broad sense, for example, they can be fixedly connected, or can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; can be mechanically connected, or can be electrically connected; can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; can be connected inside two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0056] Reference is made to Figure 3 , a typical secondary electron emission coefficient curve diagram of the medium material, the secondary electron emission coefficient increases first and then decreases with the incident electron energy, and when the incident electron energy is E P1 and E P2 , the secondary electron emission coefficient is 1. Figure 4 and Figure 5 are respectively the system schematic diagrams of neutralizing positive charge and neutralizing negative charge. When E P1 <E P <E P2 , σ>1, the material surface will accumulate positive charge, and the material surface potential is higher than the ground sample, and the potential difference ΔV between the two is >0. As shown in Figure 4 , the cathode of the neutralizing electron gun is at the same potential as the ground sample, and the electrons emitted by the neutralizing gun 1 obtain an energy of eΔV. If eΔV<E P1 , the incident electron beam will generate negative charge on the material surface, and the positive charge accumulated on the material surface will be neutralized, and when the positive charge is completely neutralized, ΔV=0, at this time the electrons emitted by the neutralizing gun 1 cannot reach the material surface, and the neutralization process stops. When E P <E P1 or E P >E P2When σ < 1, the material surface will accumulate negative charges, and the material surface potential is lower than the ground sample, and the potential difference ΔV between the two is ΔV < 0. As shown in Figure 5 , a negative bias voltage -V is applied between the cathode of the neutralizing electron gun and the ground sample N , and the electrons emitted by the neutralizing electron gun obtain an energy of e(V N + ΔV). Make E P1 < e(V N + ΔV) < E P2 , the incident electron beam will generate positive charges on the material surface, and neutralize the negative charges accumulated on the material surface. When the negative charges are completely neutralized, ΔV = 0, and E P1 < eV N < E P2 , the electrons will continue to bombard the material surface, and the material surface will accumulate positive charges, so that the process of neutralizing the positive charges is repeated again, and complete neutralization of the charges is achieved.
[0057] The application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0058] Referring to Figure 1 , the system structure diagram for measuring the secondary electron emission coefficient of the medium material of the application, including a primary electron gun, a beam cutting electrode, a neutralizing electron gun, a collector and a sample table; the primary electron gun, the beam cutting electrode, the collector and the sample table are placed in sequence, the emission outlet of the primary electron gun faces the beam cutting electrode, the electron beam emitted by the primary electron gun is cut by the beam cutting electrode, and the beam cutting current is obtained and then passes through the collector to be incident to the sample surface. The collector is a molybdenum four-prism table with open upper and lower surfaces, two side surfaces of the collector are respectively provided with through holes, and the first neutralizing electron gun and the second neutralizing electron gun respectively emit electron beams to the sample surface through the through holes on the collector. In the system, the energy range of the primary electron gun is 70-3000eV. In order to ensure complete neutralization of the charges accumulated on the surface of the medium material, the two neutralizing electron guns need to be appropriately controlled in time. The time sequence of the opening and closing of the electron gun and the application of the negative bias voltage is shown in Figure 6 , and each time period is set as: t0-t1 = 7μs, t1-t2 = 0.5s, t2-t3 = 10ms, t3-t4 = 10ms, t4-t5 = 1s, t5-t 6(0) = 0.5s. t0-t 6(0) is a complete measurement process, and the entire process takes about 2.2s, and the neutralization charge time is 1.02s, which can measure the secondary electron emission coefficient under a given energy and completely neutralize the accumulated charges. If it is necessary to measure the secondary electron emission coefficient at a higher primary electron energy, the neutralization charge time needs to be increased to ensure complete neutralization.

[0080] Embodiment
[0081] The method for measuring the secondary electron emission coefficient of a medium material in the present application specifically comprises the following steps:
[0082] Step 1, the Faraday cup is placed on the sample stage, the primary electron gun is turned on at t0 and turned off at t1. The total primary electron beam current is I T1 , after the beam cutting electrode cuts, the uniform primary electron beam current I P1 is incident on the Faraday cup. From t1 to t2, the beam cutting current I BC1 and the sampling current I P1 equal to I S1 are measured and calculated by using the integrating amplifier and data acquisition circuit. Due to external interference, I T1 at the same energy will change with the test, thus producing different I P1 . However, the ratio of I P1 to I BC1 is constant at the same energy.
[0083] The value of K at the same energy. For subsequent measurements, only the beam cutting electrode current I BC2 needs to be measured, and the actual primary electron beam current I BC2 is calculated by K I P2 , thereby reducing the experimental error of the total electron beam current fluctuation. Since there is no charge accumulation on the Faraday cup, t2-t 6(0) does not work in measuring K.
[0084] Step 2, the material to be measured is placed on the sample stage, from t0 to t1, the system works in the same way as when measuring K, and the beam cutting electrode current I BC2 and the sampling current I S2 are measured. A bias voltage of +50V is applied on the collector to ensure effective collection of secondary electrons generated by the sample and reduce measurement error. Therefore, the secondary electron beam current I SE can be expressed as I P2 = I S2 + I SE , and the secondary electron emission coefficient
[0085]
[0086] Step 3, at t2, the first neutralizing electron gun and the second neutralizing electron gun start working. If the material surface accumulates positive charge, the electron beam emitted by the first neutralizing electron gun obtains an energy of eΔV and reaches the material surface. Since eΔV < E P1 , the neutralizing electron generates a negative charge that neutralizes the positive charge on the material surface. When the positive charge is neutralized, the material surface potential drops to 0, and the electrons emitted by the first neutralizing electron gun cannot reach the material surface. At t3, the negative bias voltage is applied to meet E P1 < e (V N + ΔV) < E P2The second neutralizing electron gun is applied with a negative bias voltage in the range of - 10 to - 1000 V, and the first neutralizing electron gun is applied with a positive bias voltage in the range of 0 to 1000 V. The positive charges generated by the second neutralizing electron gun neutralize the negative charges on the surface of the material until no charge is accumulated on the surface of the material. However, the electrons from the second neutralizing electron gun still bombard the sample, and the material surface will accumulate positive charges. Once ΔV > 0, the electrons emitted by the first neutralizing electron gun with energy eΔV will reach the sample surface. Finally, no charge or a small amount of positive charge is accumulated on the sample surface, i.e. the surface potential is very low. Then, the negative bias voltage applied to the second neutralizing electron gun is stopped at t4. Assuming that positive charges are accumulated on the surface of the material, the electrons from the first neutralizing electron gun and the second neutralizing electron gun will bombard the surface of the material to generate negative charges to neutralize the positive charges until no charge is accumulated on the surface of the material, and the neutralization process will automatically terminate.
[0087] Step 4, at t5, all neutralizing electron guns are turned off, and the next measurement of the secondary electron emission coefficient of the primary electron with a different energy is waited for. Until t 6(0) , a complete measurement process is finished.
[0088] Step 5, steps 2-4 are repeated to measure the secondary electron emission coefficient under different primary electron incident energies until all measurements are completed.
[0089] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , respectively, are the secondary electron emission coefficients of silicate glass and Si measured by the method of the present application.
[0090] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. The present application can have various modifications and changes for those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
