Description

Automatic antimony current regulation and control method for manufacturing high-performance alkali metal antimonide photocathode
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of vacuum photoelectric detectors, in particular to a method for automatically regulating and controlling antimony current for manufacturing a high-performance alkali metal antimonide photoelectric cathode.
Background
The vacuum photoelectric detector is an electronic device for converting optical signals into electric signals, can effectively detect weak light, and is widely applied to the research fields of infinitesimal light detection, photon detection, chemiluminescence, bioluminescence and the like. Including micro-optical image intensifiers, photomultiplier tubes, streak tubes, and the like. The core part of the vacuum photoelectric detection device is a photocathode, the performance of the photocathode directly influences the performance of the whole device, and the main performance parameter of the vacuum photoelectric detection device is quantum efficiency, namely the quantity of electrons emitted by the photocathode when receiving 100 photons. The currently commonly used alkali antimonides include various monobasic, dibasic and polybase antimonides with potassium, sodium, lithium, cesium as the alkali metal material, including: k3Sb、Cs3Sb、K2CsSb、K2NaSb,K2L iSb and KNaCsSb, and the like.
The preparation method of the alkali metal antimonide photocathode is mainly distinguished according to whether alkali metal and antimony are evaporated at the same time, and comprises an independent evaporation method and a common evaporation method, and the preparation method is a preparation process aiming at vacuum evaporation whether the alkali metal antimonide photocathode is evaporated independently or together. A combined photocurrent monitoring and reflectivity monitoring K as set forth in the patent application No. 201610856127.22The CsSb photocathode preparation method adopts a preparation flow of bottom potassium, simultaneous evaporation of potassium and antimony and final cesium feeding; na is proposed in patent application No. 201510438585.X2Method for preparing CsSb photocathode by adoptingThe preparation process of adding sodium by steaming cesium antimony, adding sodium by steaming cesium antimony and adding antimony by steaming antimony; the patent of application No. 201710743036.2 firstly applies the built-in electric field diffusion theory of semiconductor carriers to the preparation of the double-alkali cathode, namely, a built-in electric field exists in the energy band bending region, which is beneficial to the electron transportation in the material to the surface.
As can be seen from the above patents, the alkali metal antimonide photocathodes currently use the co-evaporation of alkali metal and antimony, rather than the separate evaporation. This is because the co-evaporation can realize the control of the plating film composition by adjusting the ratio of the alkali metal and antimony, thereby effectively providing the quantum efficiency of the photocathode. Two schemes can be adopted for common evaporation, the first scheme is that a large number of tests are carried out to grope out fixed time and fixed evaporation capacity; the second method is to adjust the evaporation amount in real time according to the change of the photocurrent curve. The first scheme is suitable for the premise that the vacuum atmosphere, the alkali metal evaporation source and the antimony evaporation source have high consistency, otherwise, the second scheme has universality and is easier to manufacture a photoelectric cathode with high performance. Therefore, the amount of evaporation of the alkali metal is solidified during co-evaporation, and how to effectively control the amount of evaporation of antimony according to the trend of the photocurrent curve becomes a key factor affecting the performance of the cathode.

The method comprises the following steps: adding antimony 101, predictionαWhether or not the desired value 102 is reached is judgedβWhether or not the expected value 103 is reached is judgedβWhether it is a positive value 104 or not, and a judgmentβWhether or not the expected value 105 is reached is judgedβWhether the specified value 106 has been reached and end tuning 107.
Generally, the method for automatically regulating and controlling the antimony current of the alkali metal antimonide photocathode comprises the following steps: alkali metal evaporation, antimony evaporation, photocurrent curve fitting and prediction, photocurrent curve slope judgment and antimony current evaporation regulation according to the photocurrent curve slope judgment result.
The alkali metal vapor deposition means that an alkali metal is stably precipitated at a fixed amount of evaporation by adjusting an alkali metal evaporation current.
And (4) antimony evaporation, namely degassing antimony, and adjusting the current of the antimony to a precipitation value.
Fitting and predicting photocurrent curve, fitting the trend of the collected photocurrent curve, and predicting the slope of the subsequent photocurrent curveα
The photocurrent curve slope judgment specifically comprises:
firstly, the slope of the predicted photocurrent curve is judgedαWhether the slope reaches the expected value or not, if so, continuing to judge the actual photocurrent curve slope after waitingβIf the expected value is reached, otherwise, immediately increasing the antimony current;
if the actual photocurrent curve slopeβWhen the expected value is reached, the slope of the actual photocurrent curve is continuously judged after waitingβIf not, the slope of the actual photocurrent curve is immediately judgedβWhether it is a positive value:
if the actual photocurrent curve slopeβIf the actual photocurrent curve slope is positive, continuously judging whether the actual photocurrent curve slope is present after waitingβIf the expected value is reached, otherwise, immediately increasing the antimony current;
if the actual photocurrent curve slope is continuously judgedβWhen the expected value is reached, the slope of the actual photocurrent curve is judged after waitingβIf the value reaches the specified value, otherwise, the antimony current is increased immediately;
if the slope of the actual photocurrent curve is judgedβWhen the specified value is reached, the antimony regulating stage is ended, otherwise, the antimony current is increased immediately.
Adjusting antimony current by evaporation according to the slope of predicted photocurrent curveαWhether the desired value is reached, and the actual photocurrent curve slopeβThe antimony current is adjusted for deviations from the desired and specified values.
Combining the flow shown in FIG. 1, after adjusting the antimony current to the precipitation value, adding antimony 101 for a total of four stepsAntimony adding operation is respectivelyαAdding antimony after the expected value 102 is not reached, and judgingβAdding antimony after the value is not positive 104, judgingβAdding antimony and judging if the expected value 105 is not reachedβAntimony was added after the specified value of 106 was not reached.
According to an embodiment of the invention, for a 20 inch photomultiplier tube K2For the CsSb photocathode, the antimony current increment of the four antimony adding operations is respectively 0.4A, 0.2A, 0.5A and 0.3A, and the corresponding waiting time is 2.0 min. And the above-mentioned judgmentβAdding antimony and judging if the expected value 105 is not reachedβThe increased antimony currents 0.5A and 0.3A after not reaching the specified value of 106 are only base amounts, which are also subject toβThe difference from the expected value and the specified value.
PredictionαAnd in the step of whether the current reaches the expected value 102, automatically adjusting the gear by the curve to ensure that the displayed photocurrent is larger than 4.5 grids in the coordinate, and otherwise, reducing the current by 1 gear for display. In conjunction with the cathode manufacturing parameters and photocurrent shift map on the interface of the control software given in fig. 2, it can be seen that the shift positions include 16 shift positions of 1mA, 500 μ a, 200 μ a, 100 μ a, 50 μ a, 20 μ a, 10 μ a, 5 μ a, 2 μ a, 1 μ a, 500 nA, 200 nA, 100 nA, 50 nA, 20 nA, and 10 nA. And each gear only displays 10 grids in the photocurrent coordinate system. For example, when the photocurrent tap was 5 μ a, 1 bar represents 0.5 μ a; when the photocurrent shift was 100 nA, 1 bar represents 10 nA. According to the display method, when the photocurrent is in the 10 th grid, the gear can be automatically increased by 1, and the photocurrent can also automatically fall back to the 5 th grid; when the photocurrent is less than 4.5 grids, the gear position is automatically reduced by 1, and the photocurrent is automatically increased to twice the grid number. In addition, other cathode manufacturing parameters are also displayed on the regulation software interface, including: photocurrent, leakage current, current slope, reflectivity, and reflectivity slope.
Based on the gear change principle, the photocurrent corresponding to the expected value should stay in the minimum gear where the photocurrent can be located. The expected value is defined as the angle between the slope of the photocurrent in the first quadrant of the coordinate system and the vertical, fixed range angle of 30 deg.. When in useαWhen the expected value is reached, the judgment is carried out after waiting for 1 minβWhether or not to reach the expectationA value of 103; otherwise whenαWhen this value is not reached, the antimony current is immediately increased by 0.4A, i.e. the step of adding antimony 101 is repeated.

The positive value is set to-5 deg. for eliminating the judgment caused by signal jitterβWhether it is a positive value of the generated interference. When in useβWaiting for 1 min to judge if the value is positiveβWhether the desired value 105 is reached; when in useβWhen the current is not positive, the current of 0.2A antimony is increased immediately, namely the antimony addition 101 is repeated.
Judgment ofβIn the step of determining whether the desired value 105 is reached, the desired value is also 30 ° of the slope of the photocurrent in the first quadrant with respect to the vertical direction. When in useβWhen the expected value is reached, waiting for 5 min and judgingβWhether the specified value 106 is reached; otherwise whenβWhen the desired value is not reached, the control unit,βfor every 5 ° decrease, the antimony current increases by 0.05A and the latency increases by 0.5 min, as shown in table 1.
