In vacuum evaporation equipment, high frequency ion plating, etc., for example, as shown in FIG. 1, an evaporation material 2 is placed in a crucible 1, and the crucible is used as an anode, and electrons from a cathode filament 6 of an electron gun 3 are transferred onto the evaporation material. The material is evaporated by being bombarded with an electron beam 4 and adhered to a substrate 5. At this time, in order to avoid damage and staining of the cathode filament due to the vapor hitting the cathode filament, the cathode filament is placed in a position where it is not directly exposed to the vapor, and the electrons from the filament are bent by the magnetic field or electric field of the lens L. and guide it to the evaporation material. Now, in an electron gun that evaporates material by electron impact, it is generally necessary to use an electron emitting surface (i.e., an electron emitting surface of the cathode filament) so that a beam with low voltage and high power (i.e., a beam with a large beam current) can be obtained. The one with a large surface) is used. For example, electron guns that require a disk-shaped filament or a spiral filament as shown in FIG. 2 are used. By the way, as shown in FIG. 3, when a negative accelerating voltage is applied to the cathode filament 6 with respect to the anode 7,
When electrons 4 are emitted from the filament, the potential distribution between the filament and the anode and in their vicinity changes from that shown by the broken line to that shown by the solid line. Note that 8 in the figure is a Wehnelt electrode. Then, the evaporation material evaporates due to the impact of the electron beam and moves toward the substrate 5, and at this time, a part of the vapor is ionized due to the impact of the electron beam. These ions are directed toward the filament 6 along the trajectory of the electron beam emitted from the electron emitting surface of the filament 6 (which is essentially a conductor), and when they approach the filament, they follow the solid line. It enters at right angles to the equipotential line shown in (see the dashed-dotted line in the figure). As a result, the center of the electron emitting surface of the filament 6 is sputtered by ions, causing a broken line (for example, breakage) in the filament, which must be replaced with a new one. For example, the second
In a filament as shown in the figure, the central portion K melts and breaks. In other words, the life of the filament is significantly shortened due to the ion spatter,
It is economically and operationally disadvantageous.

The cathode filament 6 is, for example, a tungsten wire with a diameter of 0.55 mm spirally wound into a planar shape with a diameter of 12.2 mm. The terminals are connected to a heating power source (not shown). At the center of the electron emitting surface of the filament, a high melting point metal disk 9 (for example, a tantalum plate) having a diameter of 3.5 mm and a thickness of 1 mm is attached using a spot container or the like.
