Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electron multipliers, in particular to a secondary electron emission thin film densification film forming method.
Background
An electron multiplier is an electric vacuum device for amplifying weak signals, and can be applied to the fields of cesium atomic clocks, mass spectrometers, surface analysis instruments and the like, and generally adopts a multi-dynode structure, as shown in fig. 2, d1-d9 are first to ninth dynodes, a first dynode d1 is also called a cathode K, a ninth dynode is an end dynode E, A is an anode, namely a collector, and R1-R9 are divider resistors. When a negative high voltage is loaded between a cathode K and an end dynode E, an electric field is generated between adjacent dynodes through a divider resistor R, a first dynode emits secondary electrons under the bombardment of cesium ions, the generated secondary electrons are incident to a second dynode under the action of the electric field, the second dynode is excited to generate secondary electrons, and by analogy, the secondary electrons amplified by multi-stage multiplication are finally received by a collector A and output for detection.
The preparation of a secondary electron emission film (as shown in fig. 2) on the inner surface of the handling stage is the key to the signal amplification of the electron multiplier. In the using process, the secondary electron emission film on the electron multiplier beating stage continuously emits electrons due to the incidence of ions and electrons, and finally, ion signals are converted into electronic signals which are amplified in multiple stages for signal verification. Due to the high energy, the continuous incidence of cesium ions and electrons actually causes structural damage of the secondary electron emission film. Under the continuous bombardment of high-energy ions and large beam gain electron beams, the emission coefficient of the secondary electron emission film is gradually reduced, and the gain current value of the electron multiplier is gradually reduced, which is the main reason for the failure of the electron multiplier.
The capability of the secondary electron emission film to resist ion and electron bombardment is the key to ensure the long service life of the electron multiplier. The density of the secondary electron emission film is improved, and the method is an important way for improving the ion resistance and electron emission bombardment capability of the secondary electron emission film. The existing preparation method of the electron multiplier secondary electron emission film comprises an Ag-Mg alloy sensitization method and a magnetron sputtering method, and due to different film forming modes, the magnetron sputtering method has higher density and longer service life than the secondary electron emission film prepared by the Ag-Mg alloy sensitization method. However, due to the limitation of film-forming ion energy, the magnetron sputtering method cannot continuously improve the density of the secondary electron emission film, and the service life of the electron multiplier still has problems.
