High-secondary-electron-emission-coefficient film and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of device materials, and relates to a novel high-secondary-electron-emission-coefficient film.
Background
The atomic layer deposition technology is a technology that precursor gas and reaction gas enter a substrate alternately at a controllable speed, physical and chemical adsorption or surface saturation reaction is carried out on the surface of the substrate, and substances are deposited on the surface of the substrate layer by layer in the form of a monatomic film. Based on self-limiting reactions, atomic layer deposition techniques can produce continuous pinhole-free films with excellent step coverage and control of atomic-scale film thickness and composition.
The generation of secondary electrons is based on the incident electron energy, the angle of incidence and the Secondary Electron Emission (SEE) coefficient of the material. The Secondary Electron Emission (SEE) coefficient of a material is defined as the ratio of emitted secondary electrons to primary electrons incident on a surface. The gain of the electronic amplifier is closely related to the secondary emission coefficient of the film, if the film thickness is thinner, the secondary emission coefficient is lower, the gain is lower, and if the film thickness is thicker, although the secondary emission coefficient is higher, the electric conduction layer can not supplement electrons in time, the gain is reduced. Therefore, the film preparation thickness is suitable between 5nm and 15 nm.
The current technology has the following disadvantages:
the Secondary Electron Emission (SEE) coefficient delta of Al2O3 is about 4, which is lower than that of MgO, and the thickness of the prepared emission layer is between 5 and 9nm, as shown in FIG. 2.
The Secondary Electron Emission (SEE) coefficient δ of MgO was about 9, but MgO was easily deliquesced, and the secondary emission coefficient decreased after deliquescence for 1 month as shown in fig. 3.
MgO has a Secondary Electron Emission (SEE) coefficient of about 9, and if the thickness of the secondary electron emission coefficient emitting layer of 9 is at least 15nm or more, the emitting layer is too thick.
