Abstract

PURPOSE:To make accurate and easy processing of magnetron cathode structure possible by forming a step portion by powder pressing at the fit portion of an upper shield for holding a supporting metal rod of the magnetron cathod structure. CONSTITUTION:An upper shield 12 for holding a cathod 11 made by winding a thin wire to a spiral shape has a circular flange 12a and a boss 12b and is also provided at its center portion with a through hole portion consisting of a large diameter portion 13a, a small diameter portion 13b, and a step portion 13c, and the top end of a center support 14 for holding the upper and shield 12 is inserted to the large diameter portion 13a until it bumps against the step portion 13c of the through portion to ensure keeping the positional relationship between the upper end shield 12 and the center support 14. The construction eliminates the necessity of providing a step portion to the center support 14, so that the center support 14 can be manufactured with high mass productivity and low cost, and the upper end shield 12 can be made of Mo power by press molding and burning thereafter, so that the two step holes with different diameters can be easily processed.

A conventional cathode hq body with such a configuration requires cutting to provide the small diameter portion 4a at the end of the center support 4, but the center support 4 is usually made of Mo, which is a material that is extremely difficult to process. 'PW1j! Since it is made of aluminum, the processing cost is high, and the cutting tool wears slowly during cutting, making it difficult to mass-produce. Also, the small diameter portion 4a of the center support 4 is attached to the upper end shield 2.
Although a small-diameter deep hole 2a that is compatible with the VC is required, it is difficult to accurately machine the small-diameter deep hole, which is disadvantageous in terms of accuracy and cost.

In this way, since there is no need to provide the center support 14 with a stepped portion, mass productivity is high and manufacturing is possible at low cost. Further, the small diameter portion 13b provided in the upper end shield 12 is simply to serve as a stopper, and its hole accuracy is M.
It is easy to process because it does not require much work and the processing depth is small. On the other hand, since the large diameter portion 13a has a large diameter, it can be processed with high precision. Further, since the upper end shield 12 can be processed by press-molding MO powder and then firing it, it is not difficult at all to process two-stage holes with different inner diameters. Furthermore, upper end shield 1
Since the upper end shield 12 and the center sabot (14) can be brazed by inserting a solder, etc. into the small diameter portion 13b of 2, the brazing material can be positioned reliably, and brazing can be done without vibration caused by transportation. There is no risk of the brazing material falling off.
