Description
- The present invention relates to a charged particle energy analyzer such as for electron spectroscopy and ion spectroscopy, and, more particularly, to an energy analyzer of the type in which a low energy reflection filter and a high energy transmission filter are combined to measure the energy of charged particles generated from a sample.
- Fig. 1 shows one of the conventional combinations of a low energy reflection filter and a high energy transmission filter provided in a conventional energy analyzer of the type comprising a spherical mirror and a spherical retarding grid as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,749,926.
- The geometry of Fig. 1 contains a low energy pass reflection filter and a high energy pass transmission filter. The low energy pass reflection filter selectively reflects charged particles having energy lower than a predetermined value. The high energy transmission filter selectively transmits electrons having energy higher than a predetermined value.
- In Fig. 1, the low energy pass filter comprises a spherical mirror M having a curvature center O, and a spherical grid G1, which are arranged to be concentric. The high energy transmission filter comprises the spherical grids G2 and G3 having the curvature center 0. The mirror M has a potential V1. The grid G3 has another potential V2. The grids G1 and G2 are at the same potential Va and appropriate voltage are applied between the grid G1, and the spherical mirror M, and the grids G2 and G3.
- When charged particles are diverged from an injection points S adjacent the center O, the 'charged particles having energy lower than e |V1| are reflected by the mirror M, so that they are converged to a point adjacent the center O. They are diverged toward the high energy transmission filter. The charged particles having energy higher than e |V2| are transmitted through the grid G3.
- Finally, the charged particles having an energy higher than e IV21 and lower than e |V1| can be collected by a detector disposed behind the grid G3. By selecting the potential of this grid, charged particles having a selected energy band width can be obtained.
- However, since the low energy reflection filter and the high energy transmission filter must be disposed on opposite sides of the curvature center 0, the energy analyzer must be large as such. Furthermore, a sample cannot be placed close to the point S, because there is not space to set an exciting source such as an X-ray source, an electron gun, near the sample, so it needs a complicated lens system to focus the charged particles from the excited surface of the sample to the point S.
- Usually, the lens system reduces the transmission of the charged particles according to the particle energy.
- Therefore, it is desired to provide a compact charged particle energy analyzer, which has no lens system.
- Another conventional charged particle energy analyzer which has the features described in the pre-characterizing part of claim 1 is described by Eastman et al. in Nuclear Instruments & Methods, vol. 172 No. 1, 2, May 1980, pages 327-336, Amsterdam, NL. In this analyser, an elliposidal low energy reflection filter is employed, and the sample is disposed near one focus of the elliposoidal reflection filter.
- It is an object of the invention to provide an improved charged particle energy analyzer of high sensitivity and compact construction.
- According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features indicated in claim 1.

TheX-ray gun 8 may be replaced by an electron gun or an ion gun. The charged particles disperse toward the inlet sleeve 2. Theoutlet sleeve 3 receives the photoelectrons to be selected in accordance with the principle of the present inventions by the grids. - The
mirror 4 has two focuses close to the center of thesample 10 and the center of theelectron multiplier 7, which are symmetrical with respect to the central axis of the mirror4. The analyzer body 1 covers the analyzer, wholly. The third grid G3 is disposed in front of themirror 4, so that the grid G3 is parallel with themirror 4. The third grid G3 and themirror 4 form a low energy reflection filter. The first grid G1 is provided for preventing performance decrease resulting from static sample charging. The second grid G2 is provided for making a retarding field. The first grid G1 and the second grid G2 are arranged at the inlet sleeve 2. These grids G1 and G2 are concentric with the center of thesample 10. - The fourth grid G4, the fifth grid G5 and the sixth grid G6 are disposed at the
outlet sleeve 3. The photo-electrons having high energy can pass through the fifth grid G5. The sixth grid G6 is provided to accelerate the photoelectrons. The fourth grid G4, the fifth grid G6 and the sixth grid G6 are concentric with the center of theelectron multiplier 7. - The
ring 12 is provided for supporting the third grid G3. Themirror 4 made of aluminium has a reflection surface having a central axis. On the surface of themirror 4,carbon 14 is coated to give a surface having a better conductivity and to reduce emission of secondary electrons. Theinsulators 13 made of ceramic, whose surface is coated with a film having a high resistivity, are guard rings provided for preventing filed disturbance at the rand between themirror 4 and the third grid G3, thefirst grid G1 and the second grid G2, and the fourth grid G4 and the fifth grid G5. - The
exhaustion ports 6 are provided, through which air can be evacuated from the analyzer body 1. Theelectrostatic shield 5 is provided to prevent the field effect through the ports from the outer part. Theelectron multiplier 7 is provided for detecting the photoelectrons and measuring their energy. -
- The
sample 10 and the first grid G1 are both grounded together with the inlet sleeve 2 at the interval between thesample 10 and the first grid G1. As stated above, the second grid G2 is provided for reflecting the photoelectrons having the energy lowerthan eVA. The photoelectrons having the energy higher than eVA can pass through the second grid G2. The second grid G2, the third grid G3 and the fourth grid G4 are all biased with the same voltage together with the analyzer body 1 surrounding these grids G2, G3 and G4. Therefore, around the space surrounded by these grids G2, G3 and G4, and the analyzer body 1, the same voltage is applied. The voltage VA is to scan the energy. - The photoelectrons passing through the second grid G2 go towards the third grid G3 after straight passing through the above stated space. The.
mirror 4 having a central axis is provided for selectively reflecting the photoelectrons. Since the absolute value of the voltage at themirror 4 is more than that of the voltage at the third grid G3, namely,mirror 4 and the photo- electrons having the energy larger thanmirror 4 to thereby consume the energy. The analyser pass energy Eo is referred to pass energy of the photoelectrons in the analyzer. - Since the
mirror 4 has two focuses close to the center of thesample 10 and the center of theelectron multiplier 7, the photoelectrons reflected by themirror 4 are directed straight toward the center of theoutlet sleeve 3. The photoelectrons reflected by themirror 4 can pass through the fourth grids G4 having the voltage of -VA. The fourth and fifth grid G4 and G5 are provided for selectively transmitting the photoelectrons as another high energy transmission filter. Therefore, the photoelectrons having an energy smaller than -
- Fig. 3 shows a graph representing the voltages applied to the grids and the
mirror 4 and the filter characteristic according to the present invention. With the help of the low energy reflection filter provided by the third grid G3 and themirror 4 and the high energy trnasmission filter provided by the fourth and fifth grids G4 and G5, the photo- electrons having an energy in a half width of the e · AE can be selected which are detected by theelectron multiplier 7. - in accordance with the above principle, the energy analysis is carried out by changing the value of VA to be applied to the second, third, and fourth grids G2, G3 and G4 while the voltages of the second, third and fourth grids G2, G3 and G4 are made identical, and the voltage differences between the grids G2, G3, G4 and the
mirror 4, the third grid G3, the fifth grid G5 are constant. - The electron image of the
sample 10 is formed on theelectron multiplier 7. The photoelectrons passed through the fifth grid G5 are so slow, as to be zero electron volt. The sixth grid G6 is provided for accelerating the photoelectron passing through the fifth grid G5. - To observe the sample image of the photo- electrons selected in accordance with the above filtering operation, the sixth grid G6 is needed between the fifth grid G5 and the
electron multiplier 7 for obtaining the good image, because the orbits of the electrons having very low energy are easily disturbed by the undesired outer electrostatic and magnetic fields. Usually, the detector to obtain the information of the image is a position sensitive one such as a channel plate or a fluore- cent screen followed by a video camera. - The
mirror 4 may be spherical when the distance between thesample 10 and themultiplier 7 is small enough as compared with the distance between the mirror surface and thesample 10, and the distance between the mirror surface and themultiplier 7. - Such a spherical mirror is disposed at a central point between the optical distance between the
sample 10 and themultiplier 7. - Fig. 4 shows an enlarged view of a filter means such as the third grid G3 and the
mirror 4. It is now described that strictly speaking, the principal ray in the analyser in Fig. 2 is reflected by themirror 4 as shown in Fig. 4. Before the photoelectrons pass through the third grid G3, they run straight. After the photoelectrons pass through the third grid G3, they run showing a parabola trace to thereby be reflected by themirror 4 and be emitted out of the third grid G3. - When the distance between the
mirror 4 and the third grid G3 is d, a virtual reflection surface is a spheroid surface separated at the distance d from themirror 4. Therefore, the focuses of the center of themirror 4 and thedetector 7 are not the focus of themirror 4, but one of a spheroid surface 4'. - As stated above, in accordance with the present invention, a mirror having a central axis is provided which has two complex focuses. On the two complex focuses, the sample and the electron multiplier are disposed. Therefore, the photo- electrons irradiated from the sample are introduced directly into the analyzer. In addition, the sample, the X-ray gun, and the electron multiplier are disposed outside the analyzer, so that the photoelectrons in the analyser are not prevented from raying. The photoelectrons emitted from the sample with wide solid angles are not lost.
- Therefore, the system of the present invention provides high sensitivity concerning the photo- electrons as compared with the system of Fig. 1. Since the energy analyzing elements are gathered at the side of the curve surface of the reflected mirror, the size of the system of Fig. 2 can be half that of the system of Fig. 1.
- The advantages of the present invention are summarized as follows:
- 1. No lens system for focusing the charged particles emitted from the sample is required. The gun is positioned only one side of the analyzer. A mirror having a central axis is used. Therefore, high sensitivity of the analyzer is attained with a compact system.
- 2. The detector is positioned at the image point of the sample. Therefore, a position sensitive analysis can be performed.
