Definitions

  • an electron image device including a target member having a electrically conductive element or plate and a layer of an insulating storage material for storing a pattern of charges, suitable means such as an electron gun for directing a beam of electrons onto the surface of said layer of insulating material, and a grid spaced from the surface of the layer of insulating material.
  • suitable means such as an electron gun for directing a beam of electrons onto the surface of said layer of insulating material, and a grid spaced from the surface of the layer of insulating material.
  • the grid is connected to the element by a sub stantially zero impedance path in order to prevent a field across the layer of insulating material of a magnitude to cause the breakdown of the layer.
  • This invention relates to an electron image device, and, more particularly, to those devices in which information may be recorded on a target member by incident radiation and then read-out by means of an electron beam.
  • an image is recorded by focusing high energy electrons upon a target member.
  • the target member comprises a conductive electrode upon which has been dis posed a layer of insulating material capable of storing electron charges.
  • the incident high energy electrons cause discrete portions of the insulating layer to become conductive, and as a result create a pattern of charges upon the surface of the insulating layer corresponding to that pattern of information conveyed by the high energy electrons.
  • a low energy electron beam is directed upon the target member; as the electrons are attracted to the positive portions of the target member, a signal may be derived from the conductive back plate due to the simple capacitive coupling established across the insulating coating between those positive areas and the conductive electrode.
  • This type of-read-out operation is similar to that of the well-known vidicon television camera.
  • a grid electrode formed of a fine wire mesh is inserted between an electron gun, Which emits the low energy electrons, and the target member for collimating the electrons into a path substantially normal to the surface of the target member.
  • a voltage in the range of 200 to 400 volts may be applied to the grid electrode.
  • the surface of the insulating coat ing of the target member may be placed at a potential above the first crossover potential of the insulating material comprising the target member.
  • the incident, low-energy electron beam will be attracted to the target member with suflicient velocity to emit secondary electron in numbers exceeding that of the incident lowenergy electrons.
  • the emitted secondary electrons will be attracted by the high potential placed upon the grid electrode, and as a consequence, the surface of the insulating coating of the target member becomes increasingly positive due to the loss or subtraction of the electrons. This process will continue until the surface of the insulating coating assumes the potential of the grid inserted between the cathode gun and the target member.
  • the potential applied to the grid electrode may be in the order of 200 to 400 volts; if such a voltage were applied across the insulating coating of the target member, the resultant field would be sufiicient to cause the break-down and destruction of the insulating coating.
  • a second or auxiliary grid is inserted between the first grid electrode for collimating the low energy beam of electrons and the target member to substantially prevent the destruction of the insulating coating of the target member.
  • a positive potential below the first cross-over of the insulating coating is applied to the auxiliary grid electrode. Therefore, it may be understood that the potential of the surface of the insulating coating may not exceed the potential imposed upon the auxiliary grid, and as a result the target member may not operate above the first cross-over of the insulating material and thus the destruction of the target member is prevented.
  • auxiliary grid substantially prevents the destruction of the insulating coating
  • two significant areas of difficulty were presented by the incorporation of such an auxiliary grid.
  • the intensity of the electrostatic field must be sufiicient to precisely direct the electrons upon the target member.
  • the voltage placed upon the auxiliary grid must be below the first cross-over of the insulating material. Therefore, in order to establish the necessary electrostatic field, the auxiliary grid must be spaced very close (in the order of several mils) from the insulating coating of the target member.
  • the spacing of such an auxiliary grid presents a diflicult fabrication problem in that the grid electrode must be precisely spaced from the insulating coating and must be electrically insulated therefrom.
  • a second disadvantage resulting from the introduction of such an auxiliary grid resides in the undesired capacity (approximately 30 picofarads) presented by the auxil iary grid between the plate electrode of the target member and ground.
  • Such capacity must be compensated for in the amplifier circuitry associated with the target member in order to maintain the required frequency response; as a consequence of such circuitry, the noise level of the entire image device would be increased.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide a target member for an electron image device that can be operated with safety at all signal levels.
  • a still further object of this invention is to provide an electron image device wherein an auxiliary grid may be spaced with respect to the target member to ensure precise registration of the low energy electron beam upon the target member.
  • a still further object of this invention is to provide an electron image device wherein there is incorporated an auxiliary grid that requires no additional power supply to be associated therewith.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide an electron image device having a target member therein which permits the use of a closely spaced auxiliary grid without the introduction of shunt capacity and which substantially prevents the introduction of microphonics in the output of such a device.
  • the objects of this invention are accomplished by providing an electron image device in which there has been incorporated an auxiliary grid or mesh in close proximity with a target member. More specifically, the auxiliary mesh has been electrically connected directly to the plate electrode of the target member.

  • the cellulose nitrate is baked out leaving the aluminum plate 30 attached to the support ring 28. This technique is more fully described in US. Patent No. 2,905,844, assigned to the assignee of this invention.
  • the plate 30 and the support ring 28 are then placed in a bell jar having an atmosphere of approximately 1 millimeter mercury of argon or any other inert gas.
  • a boat of suitable material such as tantalum provided with a resistive heating element is positioned within the bell jar.
  • a predetermined amount such as 16 milligrams of a suitable material such as potassium chloride is placed in the boat.
  • the boat is then placed at a distance of approximately 3 inches below the aluminum plate 30 and current is applied to the resistive heating element of the boat.

  • a second or auxiliary grid 36 be inserted between the first grid 34 and the target member 26.
  • the second grid 36 is comprised of a fine mesh having a transmission of about and being made of an electrically conductive material such as copper. It is particularly noted, that the second grid 36 is electrically connected as by a substantially zero impedance connection 37 to the plate 30 of the target member 26 so that both the plate 30 and the grid 36 are operated at the same AC. and DC. voltage conditions. As will be explained in greater detail, the breakdown of the insulating coating 32 is thereby prevented since the voltage applied to the grid 36 as by a potential source 39 may now be controlled to prevent the breakdown of the insulating coating 32. Further, the grid 36 is spaced about 0.005 inch from the target member 26 to provide a field of approximately 3 volts/mil and to ensure proper registration of the low energy electron beam upon the target member 26.
  • the grid 36 may be secured as by spot welding to an annular support member 37:: made of a suitable electrically conductive material such as Kovar (a trademark of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation, supra).
  • the support member not only serves the function of supporting the grid 36 in a plane closely spaced from and parallel to the insulating coating 32 but also serves the purpose of electrically connecting the grid 36 to the plate 3 0.
  • the support member 37a may be secured as by spot welding to a support ring 218.
  • the storage target 26a comprises a support layer 31a made of a suitable insulating material such an aluminum oxide.

  • the plate 30a is formed by evaporating aluminum onto the support layer 31a to a depth of 1000 A.
  • the insulation layer 32a may be formed by evaporating a porous layer of potassium chloride onto the plate 30a in the manner described above.
  • the operation of this invention will be set out with respect to the representative values of the potentials applied to the electrodes as illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • a potential of approximately volts with respect to the cathode element 18 is applied to the plate 30 of the target member 26.
  • the low energy electrons emitted by the electron gun 16 are focused as by the field electrode 24 and the focusing means 44 onto the surface of the insulating coating 32.
  • the surface of the insulating coating 32 is stabilized or maintained at an equilibrium potential which may be substantially ground potential by means of the scanning electrons emitted from the electron gun 16.
  • the cathode element 18 of the electron gun 16 is connected to ground potential.
  • the first grid 34 is maintained at approximately a potential of 450 volts positive with respect to ground to thereby collimate the electrons emitted by the electron gun 16 into a path normal to the surface of the target member 26.
  • a light image from the scene 46 is focused upon the photocathode element 15 and photoelectrons are emitted from each portion of a photocathode element 15 corresponding to the amount of light directed thereon.
  • the photocathode element 15 is operated at a potential of about 8000 volts negative with respect to the plate 30 to provide acceleration of electrons from the photocathode element 15.
  • the photoelectrons emitted by the photocathode element 15 are focused upon the target member 26 as by the focusing means 44 and are accelerated to a sufficiently high energy by the accelerating electrodes 38 and 40 to which are respectively applied potentials of 3500 volts and 7000 volts negative with respect to the plate 30.
  • the photoelectrons are accelerated to a sufficiently high energy of about 8000 electron volts so that they penetrate through the conductive plate 30 and enter into the insulating coating 32.
  • the acceleration voltage should be adjusted such that substantially all of the primary electrons emitted from the photocathode element 15 almost completely penetrate the entire target member 26 but do not substantially pass on through the structure.
  • the acceleration should be about 8000 volts.
  • the electrons (i.e., primary electrons) emitted from the photocathode element 15 create as they penetrate the insulating coating 32 a certain number of low energy electrons within the coating 32 in orders of magnitude higher than the numher of incident or primary electrons; the number of secondary electrons generated may be about 200 for each primary electron penetrating the insulating coating 32.
  • the surface of the insulating coating 32 exposed to the electron gun 16 has been stabilized at approximately ground potential to thereby polarize or establish a field between the exposed surface of the insulating coating 32 and the electrically conductive plate 30 which has been set at a potential of approximately 15 volts with respect to ground.
  • the low energy electrons generated within the insulating coating 32 cause the exposed surface to change its potential locally due to the conduction of the electrons across the coating 32 to the positive plate 30 and due to secondary electrons emitted from the exposed surface of coating 32 which are then collected by electrodes 36 and 34.
  • a video signal may be provided by using any of the several well-known read-out techniques.
  • FIG. 1 there is illustrated a typical vidicon type read-out assembly.
  • the curve shown therein is a general curve showing the reflective secondary emission ratio as a function of primary bombarding electron energy.
  • the primary energy is expressed in electron volts.
  • the secondary emission ratio is simply the ratio of the secondary electron emission current to the primary current. It is particularly noted that the secondary emission ratio is unity at two locations and these locations are designated as the first and second cross-over energies. Thus, it may be seen that at points below the first crossover, that the number of reflected secondary electrons from the surface of a material is less than the number of primary electrons and therefore the surface will tend to charge in a negative direction.
  • the energy of the primary electrons will be such as to create more reflective secondaries from the surface of the tar-get than primaries incident thereon. This results in the surface tending to charge in a positive direction. Further, for those points upon the curve above second cross-over, the number of emitted electrons will again be less than the number of primary electrons incident thereon, and therefore the surface will again tend to charge in a negative direction. It is noted that in the typical operation of the electron emission device 10 that the electrons emitted from the electron gun 16 are accelerated with energy below the first cross-over of the material of the coating 32.
  • the exit surface potential (V of the insulating coating 32 is at ground or at the gun cathode potential. Due to the bombardment of the target member 26 by electrons emitted from the photocathode element 15, secondary emission occurs from the exposed surface of the coating 32 and conduction of electrons is established through the coating 32. As a result, the surface potential V of the coating 32 drifts toward the potential V of the plate 30 due to the field applied across the coating 32. The conduction due to electrons Within the coating 32 becomes zero when a potential V of the exposed surface of the coating 32 is at the same potential as the plate 30.
  • the exposed surface of the coating 32 exceeds the first cross-over potential, then not only would the exposed surface of the coating 32 be charged positively due to the transmission secondary emission from the bombardment of the target member 26 by the beam of electrons emitted by the photocathode element 15, but also due to the scanning beam of electrons emitted by the cathode gun 16.
  • the potential of the exposed surface of the coating 32 may be limited to prevent the possible destruction of the coating 32.
  • this invention teaches that the auxiliary grid 36 is directly connected to the plate 30 by the connection 37.
  • the potential applied to the auxiliary electrode 36 and to the exposed surface of the coating 32 may likewise be determined. It may be understood that the potential of the exposed surface of the coating 32 may not exceed the potential placed upon the second grid 36, which according to this inven tion is the same as the potential applied to the plate 30.
  • the target member 26 does not have an opportunity to operate in the reverse field mode of operation since the exposed surface of the coating 32 is limited to the potential V of the plate 30 with the result that at this point no field is applied across the coating 32.
  • the potential source 39 which is applied to the plate 30 and the second gird 36 should not exceed that potential which would create a field across the coating 32 great enough to breakdown the coating 32 when the exposed surface is being charged to the potential of the cathode gun 16.
  • the target member of this invention will not breakdown due to an increasingly strong field being imposed across the insulating coating, because the field and the potential may be precisely controlled by the potential applied to the plate of the target member.
  • an additional potential supply has been eliminated by the teachings of this invention since the auxiliary or second grid may be tied directly to the same potential source as supplies the plate of the target member.
  • the second or auxiliary grid may be spaced at extremely close distances to the surface of the insulating coating due to the absence of the need of providing insulating material between the grid and the surface of the insulating coating.
  • the microphonics produced by the grid 36 may be substantially eliminated and as mentioned before the electrode may be spaced very closely to the surface of the insulating layer to thereby create a field of sufficient magnitude to permit adequate registration of the electron beam upon the target member.
