Description
Technical Field

Background
At present, international colleges, research institutes and companies researching the GaAs photocathode of three generations are countless, but only a few countries (America, Russia and the like) realize the mass production of the three generations of image tubes. The main factor limiting the mass production is the GaAs photocathode, one of the key processes for preparing the GaAs photocathode is the acquisition of atomic-level cleanliness, which is the most difficult process in the whole preparation process of the low-light-level image intensifier, and the performance and the qualification rate of the third-generation image tube are greatly influenced. (the main three indexes for describing the GaAs photocathode are integral sensitivity, radiation sensitivity and uniformity, and the three indexes are the core technical indexes of three generation image tubes.
The known GaAs photoelectric cathode atomic-level cleanliness obtaining process mostly adopts a high-temperature thermal cleaning mode, and the whole GaAs photoelectric cathode is heated by adopting a thermal radiation mode in a vacuum environment, so that oxides on the surface are decomposed, a GaAs layer which is easy to emit electrons is leaked out, and the following 4 problems exist:
1) the performance is low: the method needs higher temperature (about 600 ℃) in the preparation process, arsenic oxide and gallium oxide can be decomposed by the high temperature, but the decomposition temperature of the gallium oxide is approximate to that of the gallium arsenide, the gallium arsenide can be decomposed by inaccurate control, gallium drops are formed on the surface, the surface rich in gallium is not beneficial to activating the emission of electrons, and the performance of the product is reduced;
2) the percent of pass is low: before the atomic cleanliness is obtained, the GaAs photocathode can undergo various processes such as epitaxial growth, high-temperature bonding, directional corrosion, film coating and the like, so that the consistency of the surface of the product is poor, and when the method is adopted for processing, different samples need to absorb different heat and time, but the judgment is difficult in the actual operation process, so that the qualification rate of the GaAs photocathode is low;
3) poor uniformity: the high-temperature thermal cleaning can damage the structure of the whole emitting layer to cause the change of local components, the uniformity of a light source is not easy to control, and the uniformity difference of the emitting layer of the product can be caused, which is reflected in that part of the emitting layer is bright and part of the emitting layer is dark;
4) the cost is high: the gallium arsenide photocathode is formed by bonding AVG glass and a GaAs epitaxial wafer, and because a high-temperature mode is adopted for thermal cleaning, the requirements on the transition point and the softening point of the glass are high on one hand, and the requirements on the bonding process are strict on the other hand, so that the raw material cost and the labor cost are increased.
