When an initial electron with certain energy bombards a solid material, an incident electron is subjected to inelastic scattering in the material, so that the electron in the material is excited to form an internal secondary electron with certain energy distribution, a part of the internal secondary electron moves towards the surface direction, interacts with the solid in the moving process, loses part of energy, and when the internal secondary electron reaches the surface, part of the electron escapes from the surface to form a secondary electron by overcoming a surface potential barrier, and the process is called secondary electron emission.
With the rapid development of the aerospace industry, the demand of the space technology on high-power microwave devices is continuously improved, and secondary electron emission is a serious problem in the use process of the space high-power microwave devices. The secondary electron emission reduces the performance of the microwave device to greatly reduce the working capacity of the microwave device, and even causes permanent damage to the microwave device and even the whole system.

Therefore, secondary electron emission becomes one of important factors threatening the safe and reliable use of the space high-power microwave device, and the inhibition of the secondary electron emission has important scientific significance and application value for improving the working efficiency, reliability and stability of the space high-power microwave device including a space traveling wave tube, a dielectric window and a high-power microwave switch and promoting the development of the space high-power microwave technology. Secondary electron emission is a threat spaceOne of the important factors for the safe and reliable use of the power microwave device is that in order to avoid the performance reduction and even damage of the device caused by secondary electron emission and improve the working efficiency, reliability and stability of the space high-power microwave device including a space traveling wave tube, a dielectric window and a high-power microwave switch, the secondary electron emission coefficient of the surface of the material of the high-power microwave device must be reduced. The amorphous carbon film has sp with strong electron scattering ability in the amorphous carbon film2The film has lower secondary electron emission coefficient due to hybridization of carbon-carbon bonds, and has better stability under high radio frequency field, high temperature and long-term work, thus becoming a more common film material for inhibiting secondary electron emission. However, with the development of space technology, the power of the high-power microwave device is increasing continuously, and the requirement for the amorphous carbon film to suppress secondary electron emission is also increasing continuously, so that the secondary electron emission coefficient of the amorphous carbon film needs to be further reduced to avoid the performance reduction and even damage of the device caused by secondary electron emission, and the space where the power of the microwave device can be increased is increased.

Referring to fig. 2, comparing the curves of the secondary electron emission coefficients of the zirconium-doped amorphous carbon thin films deposited on the oxygen-free copper substrate according to the incident electron energies under the conditions of different thicknesses of the zirconium buffer layer (0nm, 10nm, 20nm and 30nm), it is apparent from the graph that the secondary electron emission coefficients of the three zirconium-doped amorphous carbon thin films with the zirconium buffer layer are significantly lower compared to the sample without the zirconium buffer layer, and the lower the secondary electron emission coefficient of the zirconium-doped amorphous carbon thin film with the increase of the thickness of the zirconium buffer layer, the lower the reduction of the secondary electron emission coefficient of the zirconium-doped amorphous carbon thin film with the increase of the thickness of the zirconium buffer layer is when the thickness of the zirconium buffer layer is increased to 30 nm.
Referring to fig. 3, comparing the curves of the secondary electron emission coefficient of the zirconium-doped amorphous carbon film deposited on oxygen-free copper with different zirconium doping contents (2.8%, 4.5%, 13.1%), it can be seen that the secondary electron emission coefficient of the amorphous carbon film can be significantly reduced by doping the transition metal zirconium at a low concentration, but the secondary electron emission coefficient of the amorphous carbon film cannot be reduced when the zirconium doping content is too high (e.g., 13.1%).
Referring to fig. 4, comparing the curves of the secondary electron emission coefficient of the amorphous carbon film deposited on the oxygen-free copper substrate, the zirconium continuously doped amorphous carbon film deposited on the oxygen-free copper substrate, and the zirconium discontinuously doped amorphous carbon film deposited on the oxygen-free copper substrate with the change of the incident electron energy, it can be seen from the graphs that the secondary electron emission coefficient of the zirconium discontinuously doped amorphous carbon film on the oxygen-free copper substrate is lower than that of the zirconium continuously doped amorphous carbon film deposited on the oxygen-free copper substrate.
Referring to fig. 5, comparing the curves of the secondary electron emission coefficient with the incident electron energy of the oxygen-free copper substrate, the amorphous carbon film deposited on the oxygen-free copper substrate, the titanium doped amorphous carbon film with the titanium buffer layer deposited on the oxygen-free copper substrate, the zirconium doped amorphous carbon film with the zirconium buffer layer deposited on the oxygen-free copper substrate, the vanadium doped amorphous carbon film with the vanadium buffer layer deposited on the oxygen-free copper substrate, and the chromium doped amorphous carbon film with the chromium buffer layer deposited on the oxygen-free copper substrate, the samples are all manufactured by adopting optimized process parameters, and as can be seen from the figure, the secondary electron emission coefficients of the samples of the zirconium-doped amorphous carbon film with the zirconium buffer layer, the vanadium-doped amorphous carbon film with the vanadium buffer layer and the chromium-doped amorphous carbon film with the chromium buffer layer are lower than those of the samples of the oxygen-free copper substrate, the amorphous carbon film and the titanium-doped amorphous carbon film with the titanium buffer layer.
As can be seen from the above specific examples and the related descriptions, compared with the existing amorphous carbon film preparation technology, the amorphous carbon film with corresponding transition metal low-concentration doping (2% -5%) of the transition metal buffer layer containing zirconium, vanadium and chromium, which is prepared by adopting the film structure and the preparation method of the invention, has higher sp2The carbon-carbon bond is hybridized, so that the material has a lower secondary electron emission coefficient, and can play a role in inhibiting the secondary electron emission of the space high-power microwave device material.
