In addition, the barrier layer 27 is a composition whose forbidden band width is larger than the forbidden band width of the quantum well layer 26. AlN can be used as an example, and the respective thicknesses are set to be larger than the well width of the quantum well layer 26. Specifically, , such as 1 to 100 nm.

构成活性层25的量子阱层26的周期可考虑量子阱层26、障壁层27以及活性层25的整体的厚度和所使用的电子束的加速电压等而适当设定,但通常为1~100。The period of the quantum well layer 26 constituting the active layer 25 can be appropriately set in consideration of the overall thickness of the quantum well layer 26, the barrier layer 27, and the active layer 25, the acceleration voltage of the electron beam used, etc., but is usually 1 to 100. .

上述半导体发光元件20能够通过例如MOCVD法(有机金属化学气相淀积法)而形成。具体的是,使用由氢和氮构成的载气以及由三甲基铝和氨构成的原料气体,在由蓝宝石构成的基板21的(0001)表面上通过气相生长,形成由具有所希望的厚度的AlN构成的缓冲层22之后,使用由氢气和氮气构成的载气以及由三甲基铝、三甲基镓、三甲基铟以及氨构成的原料气体,通过在缓冲层22上进行气相生长,形成由具有所希望的厚度的InxAlyGa1-x-yN(0≤x<1,0<y≤1,x+y≤1)构成的具有单量子阱构造或多量子阱构造的活性层25,由此,能够形成半导体发光元件20。The aforementioned semiconductor light emitting element 20 can be formed by, for example, MOCVD (metal organic chemical vapor deposition).

另外,在形成由InAlGaN构成的量子阱层26的情况下,作为原料气体,除了上述的原料以外还可以使用三甲基铟,只要将处理温度设定为比形成由AlGaN构成的量子阱层26的情况还低就可以。In addition, in the case of forming the quantum well layer 26 made of InAlGaN, trimethylindium may be used as a raw material gas other than the above-mentioned raw materials, as long as the processing temperature is set to be higher than that of forming the quantum well layer 26 made of AlGaN. The situation is still low.

另外,半导体多层膜的形成方法并不限定于MOCVD法,也可以使用例如MBE法(分子束外延法)等。In addition, the method of forming the semiconductor multilayer film is not limited to the MOCVD method, and for example, MBE method (molecular beam epitaxy) or the like may be used.

接着,在本发明的电子束激励式光源装置中,在半导体发光元件20上设置有导电性的除电部件,该除电部件至少用于去除来自电子束源装置30的电子束所入射的一面20a上的电荷。Next, in the electron beam excitation type light source device of the present invention, a conductive static removing member is provided on the semiconductor light emitting element 20, and the static removing member is used to remove at least the side on which the electron beam from the electron beam source device 30 is incident. Charge on 20a.

在该实施方式的电子束激励式光源装置中,除电部件通过例如以覆盖半导体发光元件20的外周侧面和一面20a的外周缘部的方式设置的导电性膜28构成,该导电性膜28与导电性支承体16电连接,或经由引线部28a电连接。In the electron beam excitation type light source device of this embodiment, the static eliminating member is constituted by, for example, a conductive film 28 provided so as to cover the outer peripheral side surface of the semiconductor light emitting element 20 and the outer peripheral portion of one surface 20a, and the conductive film 28 and The electroconductive support body 16 is electrically connected, or is electrically connected via the lead part 28a.

作为用于形成导电性膜28的材料,可以使用例如银浆(Ag paste)、铝浆(Al paste)以及银焊料等。As a material for forming the conductive film 28 , for example, silver paste (Ag paste), aluminum paste (Al paste), silver solder, or the like can be used.

导电性膜28的厚度为,例如1~100μm。The thickness of the conductive film 28 is, for example, 1 to 100 μm.

在上述电子束激励式光源装置中,当向电子束源装置30与电子引出电极46之间施加电压时,则从该电子束源装置30的电子束放出部32向着电子引出电极46放出电子,该电子通过施加于半导体发光元件20与电子束源装置30之间的加速电压,向着半导体发光元件20被加速而形成电子束,并且,该电子束的轨道通过加速电压和通过电场控制用电源57向电子束源装置30与电场控制用电极50之间施加的电压,而朝向半导体发光元件20的放射光的一面20a并被定向,结果,该电子束入射到半导体发光元件20的一面20a上、即活性层25的表面上。接着,在半导体发光元件20中,通过入射电子束而活性层25的电子被激励,由此,从该半导体发光元件20的入射了电子束的一面20a放射紫外线等光,并经由真空容器10的光透射窗15射出到该真空容器10的外部。In the above electron beam excitation type light source device, when a voltage is applied between the electron beam source device 30 and the electron extraction electrode 46, electrons are emitted from the electron beam emission part 32 of the electron beam source device 30 toward the electron extraction electrode 46, The electrons are accelerated toward the semiconductor light emitting element 20 by the accelerating voltage applied between the semiconductor light emitting element 20 and the electron beam source device 30 to form an electron beam, and the trajectory of the electron beam passes through the accelerating voltage and the electric field control power supply 57 The voltage applied between the electron beam source device 30 and the electrode 50 for electric field control is directed toward the light emitting surface 20a of the semiconductor light emitting element 20, and as a result, the electron beam is incident on the surface 20a of the semiconductor light emitting element 20, That is, on the surface of the active layer 25 . Next, in the semiconductor light emitting element 20, electrons in the active layer 25 are excited by the incident electron beams, thereby emitting light such as ultraviolet rays from the surface 20a of the semiconductor light emitting element 20 on which the electron beams incident, and passing through the vacuum chamber 10. The light transmission window 15 emits to the outside of the vacuum container 10 .

以上,通过电子束放出用电源56向电子束源装置30与电子引出电极46之间施加的电压为,例如1~5kV。As described above, the voltage applied between the electron beam source device 30 and the electron extraction electrode 46 by the electron beam emitting power supply 56 is, for example, 1 to 5 kV.

另外,优选通过电子加速构件55施加的电子束的加速电压为,6~12kV。在加速电压过低的情况下,获取高光输出会变的困难。另一方面,在加速电压过高的情况下,容易从半导体发光元件20中产生X射线,并且,由于电子束的能量而半导体发光元件20容易受到损坏,因此不提倡。In addition, it is preferable that the acceleration voltage of the electron beam applied by the electron acceleration member 55 is 6 to 12 kV. At low accelerating voltages, it becomes difficult to obtain high light output. On the other hand, if the acceleration voltage is too high, X-rays are likely to be generated from the semiconductor light emitting element 20, and the semiconductor light emitting element 20 is easily damaged by the energy of the electron beam, so it is not recommended.

另外,通过电场控制用电源57向电子束源装置30与电场控制用电极50之间施加的电压为,例如-2~2kV。In addition, the voltage applied between the electron beam source device 30 and the electrode 50 for electric field control by the electric field control power supply 57 is, for example, −2 to 2 kV.

接着,根据上述电子束激励式光源装置,通过具有除电部件,从而防止或抑制因来自电子束源装置30的电子束的照射而在半导体发光元件20的一面20a上积存电荷,该除电部件由覆盖半导体发光元件20的外周侧面和来自电子束源装置30的电子束所入射的一面20a的外周缘部而设置的导电性膜28构成,因此,能够避免从电子束源装置30放射的电子束的轨道变化,或者来自电子束源装置30的电子被半导体发光元件20的一面20a所排斥,并能够将来自电子束源装置30的电子束效率良好地照射到半导体发光元件20的一面20a上,因此,能够获取高光输出(发光效率)。Next, according to the above-mentioned electron beam excitation type light source device, by including the charge removing member, thereby preventing or suppressing the charge accumulation on the one side 20a of the semiconductor light emitting element 20 due to the irradiation of the electron beam from the electron beam source device 30, the charge removing member It is composed of the conductive film 28 covering the outer peripheral side of the semiconductor light emitting element 20 and the outer peripheral edge portion of the surface 20a on which the electron beam from the electron beam source device 30 is incident, so that electrons emitted from the electron beam source device 30 can be avoided. The trajectory of the beam changes, or the electrons from the electron beam source device 30 are repelled by the one side 20a of the semiconductor light emitting element 20, and the electron beam from the electron beam source device 30 can be efficiently irradiated onto the one side 20a of the semiconductor light emitting element 20 , and therefore, high light output (luminous efficiency) can be obtained.

另外还有,由于构成为,从半导体发光元件20的来自电子束源装置30的电子束所入射的一面20a放射光,因此,从与半导体发光元件20的电子束所入射的一面20a相对置的另一面20b经由导电性支承体16,能够对该半导体发光元件20进行冷却。由此,能够对半导体发光元件20效率良好地进行冷却,因此,就这一点,半导体发光元件20的发光效率也不会降低,并维持高输出的光。In addition, since the light is emitted from the surface 20a of the semiconductor light emitting element 20 on which the electron beams from the electron beam source device 30 are incident, light is emitted from the surface 20a facing the surface 20a on which the electron beams of the semiconductor light emitting element 20 are incident. The other surface 20 b can cool the semiconductor light emitting element 20 via the conductive support 16 . Thereby, the semiconductor light emitting element 20 can be efficiently cooled, and therefore, even in this point, the light emitting efficiency of the semiconductor light emitting element 20 is not lowered, and high output light is maintained.
