Abstract

1,002,963. Electron multipliers. RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA. March 12, 1963 [March 30, 1962], No. 9819/63. Heading H1D. An electron multiplier includes a dynode having a surface exposed to electrons comprising a layer 32 of magnesium oxide, 25 to 250 Angstroms thick. The layer 32 is evaporated as magnesium metal on to a layer 28 of chromium, nickel or gold, 100 to 200 Angstroms thick which is itself evaporated on to a base 30 of chromium, silver, " Nichrome " (Registered Trade Mark) or nickel. Alternatively, the magnesium may be evaporated on to a solid base of chromium, but the additional layer 28 is preferred to provide a clean surface for the magnesium, the evaporation of which follows that for the layer 28 without breaking the vacuum. A method for controlling the layer thickness, depending on the reduction in light transmission through an auxiliary glass substrate, is described. The layer 28 may be applied in two evaporations with the dynode rotated 180 degrees between them. The magnesium is oxidized and possibly then fired at 725‹ C. in a hydrogen atmosphere to remove impurities. The dynode is the first one of a series mounted in an image-orthicon pick-up tube of standard construction (Fig. 1, not shown). It is mounted immediately in front of the electron gun and has a hole 17, 2 to 4 mils. diameter .to pass these electrons; the surface receives those reflected from the target. Operating voltages are given and the relationship between the voltage on the dynode and the optimum layer thickness is discussed. Specifications 673,224 and 771,504 are referred to.
