Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electron gun device used in an electron beam drawing device, an X-ray generator, an electron beam welder, an electron microscope, and the like.
- An electron gun is a source that generates an electron beam and is used for the following purposes.
- Electron beam drawing equipment Used for pattern formation on glass dry plates in semiconductor manufacturing factories or mask manufacturing factories of light exposure equipment. Since there is no other technology that can generate patterns, an electron gun that generates an electron beam is indispensable. The world market is about 20 units a year.
- Electron beam pattern direct drawing device for research and development Electron beam direct drawing is used for various purposes. Used for semiconductor trials and fine MEMS prototypes. It is about several hundred units a year.
- MEMS is an abbreviation for the English word “Micro Electrical Mechanical Systems,” which means “micro electromechanical system,” and is used for semiconductor silicon substrates, glass substrates, organic materials, and sensors and actuators for mechanical element parts.
- Electron guns are indispensable for various medical and industrial X-ray generators.
- X-ray equipment is used in many fields such as human body transmission photography in hospitals, CT equipment, testing of the internal structure of devices for industrial use, and inspection of baggage.
- Electron beam welder or three-dimensional molding equipment Used in precision welding for applications such as joining metals of different materials inside a vacuum. In recent years, electron beams have been used in three-dimensional molding devices and the like.
- Electron microscope It is used as an electron gun for various electron microscopes for semiconductor inspection and observation and for various research and development. There is a market of hundreds of billions of yen for the entire equipment. However, it is considered that the electron gun device of the present disclosure may not be applicable to an inexpensive device of several million yen or less.
- Tungsten electron guns are inexpensive (about 1000 yen each) and can be used easily, but they have a lifespan of 1000 hours, and the brightness is as low as 104 A / cm 2 steradian at 50 kV.
- the operating temperature is around 2500 ° C.
- the LaB6 electron gun is expensive at 200,000-500,000 yen per piece, but the brightness is as high as 106 A / cm 2 steradian at 50 kV.
- the evaporation rate of this material varies depending on the operating temperature, and since there is evaporation consumption of several tens of ⁇ m in 1000 hours at 1550 ° C to 1600 ° C, it is important that the higher the brightness, the shorter the life. Had a lot of drawbacks.
- the LaB6 crystal which is an electron emitting material
- the temperature of the LaB6 crystal becomes high the evaporation of the LaB6 material accumulates on the surface of the heater for heating, and the resistance value of the heater decreases.
- the temperature of the LaB6 crystal decreases. There is also the problem of doing.
- Patent Document 1 Patent No. 5595199
- the LaB6 crystal at the tip of the electron gun is consumed and the tip surface changes from a flat surface to a round mound-like shape.
- the uniformity distribution of the irradiated electron beam changes. It has been pointed out that doing so is the biggest problem.
- the present inventors have had the same problem for more than 30 years.
- the electron gun according to the present invention is an electron gun device that emits an electron beam by heating it to a high temperature in a vacuum, and the surface of the material that emits the electron beam is a hydride metal of a liquid that is melted during high temperature operation.
- the liquid hydride is stored as a hydride or pre-hydrogenated liquid metal in a hollow cover tube container that is solid during high temperature operation, and is heated to a high temperature together with the cover tube container to produce hydrogen.
- the liquefied liquid metal is exposed from the cover tube container, forms a liquid surface in which gravity, electric field, and surface tension of the liquid surface are balanced, and emits electron beams from the exposed hydride liquid metal surface.
- the electron gun according to the present invention preferably has the following configuration.
- the material for emitting the electron beam is a liquid that is melted during high-temperature operation and is a metal hydride.
- the electron emission intensity is increased, and the oxidation of the material when exposed to the atmosphere or oxygen gas is suppressed.
- Liquid metal hydride is stored in a hollow cover tube container that is solid during high-temperature operation, and is heated to a high temperature together with the container.
- the hollow cover tube container is made of a material that does not dissolve by chemically reacting with the liquid hydride of the electron beam emitting material at the same high temperature, and the hollow cover tube container has conductivity.
- 3) Liquid metal By binding hydrogen atoms, atoms reduce the inherent work function of liquid metal atoms and increase electron radioactivity.
- the vapor pressure of the liquid metal to vacuum at high operating temperatures ranges from 10-6 pascal to 1 pascal.
- the surface of the hydride liquid metal has a normal vector that coincides with the direction of gravity, and is approximately by gravity and electric field. A horizontal static plane is formed and 5) thermion or field-applied thermion emission is performed in the direction of gravity or in the direction opposite to gravity.
- the present invention it is possible to increase the brightness of the electron gun, stabilize the heater temperature, and extend the life of the electron gun at the same time.
- It is a substantially plane of the liquid of the liquid electron emission material when the electron gun in the downward direction of gravity is tilted at an angle of about 45 degrees, and is a diagram showing that there is almost no change from the vertical state, and is an enlarged view of a main part. ..
- the reason for using gas is that it is easy to control from the outside by the pressure and flow rate of the gas.
- the type of gas is methane gas CH4. This is the simplest hydrocarbon gas.
- the LaB6 single crystal usually requires a high temperature of 1500 ° C. or higher, but if the LaB6 crystal is left at 1200 ° C. and methane gas is allowed to flow at 10 -4 pascal so as to fill the inside of the vacuum chamber of the electron gun, it takes 5 hours. Later, it became possible to realize an electron generation intensity of about 1500 ° C. for a LaB6 single crystal.
- the work function of LaB6 usually drops significantly from 2.1 to 2.0 eV when left at 1200 ° C., so that the electron generation efficiency increases 100 to 1000 times. It means that the temperature can be lowered by 300 ° C.
- lanthanum Since lanthanum is easily oxidized, when taken out into the atmosphere, the thin hydrogenated lanthanum layer on the LaB6 crystal easily reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere to become lanthanum oxide. Since the work function of lanthanum oxide is as large as 3.5 eV, the efficiency of electron generation is poor even if it is evacuated again.
- the present inventors have a low work function of the lantern solution due to the steady flow of methane at 1200 ° C. It was determined that it was due to the hydrogenated lantern LaHx by dissolving the lanthanum hydrogen reagent in a hollow cover tube container and confirming that the work functions match.
- LaHx as used herein refers to one having 1 to 3 hydrogens per lantern. X means that the value cannot be determined.
- the present inventors heated the ingot mass of the lantern in a vacuum in a tungsten boat and placed it in a hollow cover tube container to liquefy the lantern. Even if this was operated in an electron gun chamber in which hydrogen gas was passed, the same work function 2.1 to 2.0 eV as that of a hydrogenated lantern could be obtained.
- the liquid level does not change the shape of the liquid surface as the electron emitting substance evaporates, only the total amount of liquid changes.
- the upper liquid level is controlled to be constant so as to compensate for the decrease in the total amount of evaporating liquid. If a mechanism is provided, the liquid surface can be made a horizontal plane and its height can be kept unchanged.
- the liquid hydrogenated lantern is stored inside a solid hollow cover tube container. There are holes on the tip electron emission surface of the cover tube container.
- the cover tube has a substantially cylindrical shape or a trapezoidal cylindrical shape with a tapered tip.
- the liquid metal material adheres to the side surface of the hollow cover tube container by capillarity when heated at a high temperature, so that the liquid flows downward even though the lowermost surface of the tip of the cover tube is open. It never comes.
- a lantern liquid as an electron gun
- the total amount of liquid metal that balances gravity is determined, and a liquid surface due to surface tension, which is a static approximate plane, is created in the open opening on the lowermost surface of the cover tube. ..
- a voltage can be applied to the electrodes, a voltage can be applied to the liquid surface, and electron emission can be emitted from the liquid surface by heating.
- the present inventors have no means for preventing the evaporation of the LaB6 crystal at the operating temperature, and cannot escape from the change in the shape of the surface of the solid electron gun, and are finite. Focusing on the unavoidable life of the electron gun, I came up with the idea of liquefying the electron emission surface of the electron gun. If liquefied, it can maintain a constant shape against evaporation of the electron gun surface. The life is usable until the total amount of liquid is exhausted.

- the liquid electron emitting material evaporates, so that the total amount of liquid decreases.
- the gear 105 rotates periodically and pushes up the spur gear 113 that meshes with the 105 to move the 111 piston up and down. As a result, the support component 112 of the piston of 111 is pushed up.

- the inner shape is a square pillar, or a cylinder, or an elliptical pillar, or a long cylinder with the direction of gravity as the central axis.
- the total amount of liquid decreases as the liquid electron emitting material evaporates over time.
- the shape of the lower surface of the liquid does not change.
- the statically balanced liquid metal liquid level is formed by the gravity applied to the liquid metal, the electrostatic electric force generated by the surface electric force of the electrode for extracting electrons, and the surface tension of the cover tube container and the liquid metal for a long period of time. A constant electron emitting surface is maintained.
- the total amount of the liquid electron emitting material 125 has a lower limit and an upper limit.

- the upper surface of the liquid metal is oriented in the direction of gravity, and the liquid surface is perpendicular to gravity.

It becomes a vertical plane. This is true until the cover tube is tilted plus or minus 60 degrees with respect to gravity.
- a solid high melting point material is used as a bulk material.

- the thickness of the conductive film is 1 ⁇ m to 5 ⁇ m. Since the film on the inner surface comes into contact with the lantern liquid, it may break. Therefore, the lantern liquid must be a bulk (thick and having a constant volume) of a hollow cover tube container to prevent liquid leakage.

- Table 1 is a table explaining the limit value of the liquid height of the liquid electron gun due to the capillary phenomenon, that is, "the limit height of the lantern liquid".
- the limit height of the lantern liquid is the height of the liquid allowed for the diameter of the opening of the cover member, which indicates the height of the liquid of water, lantern and cerium that can adhere to the inside of the cylindrical capillary due to the capillary phenomenon.
- the surface tension of water is calculated as 72.75 dyn / cm.
- lantern and cerium are also divided by the amount of high density when they become liquid with the same surface tension as water. In fact, both lantern and cerium are said to have a surface tension of 10 times or more at 1,000 ° C or higher.
- the inner diameter of the cover tube is 0.5 mm, the liquid level of water is 56 mm, and when the lantern density is 6, it is 9.3 mm. Height is acceptable. This is always a satisfying condition as it is longer than the actual electron gun cover tube container length of 3 mm. It is known that the average inner diameter of the thickest part of the cover tube container and the limit height are inversely proportional to each other. Therefore, unless the cover tube container is made thicker than this, the lantern liquid will not drip in the direction of gravity by itself from the cover tube opening. Since the density of cerium is 6.5, this condition hardly changes. Further, according to the experiments of the present inventors, the surface tension of the refractory metal and the metal boride with the lantern is sufficiently strong, and especially at 1000 ° C.
- the wettability has never been a problem experimentally. It was. If the actual required operating temperature of 1000 ° C to 1600 ° C, the brightness, and the required value of the life can be determined, the inner diameter of the hollow cover tube container can be determined by design.

- it oxidizes in the atmosphere in about 10 minutes, reacts with moisture, and starts hydroxylating. Since it is difficult to use this as an electron gun again, it is necessary to react the lantern atom 603 with the hydrogen atom 606 to prepare a hydrogenated lantern as shown in FIG. 5B.

- 704 represents the electron emission current of the solid LaB6 single crystal. From this, it can be seen that at the same temperature, the emission current intensity of the hydrogenated lanthanum is 100 to 1000 times higher than the emission current intensity of the LaB6 single crystal. That is, the hydrogenated lanthanum can obtain the same strength at a temperature 300 ° C. lower than the operating temperature of the LaB6 single crystal.
- the hydrogenated lanthanum is a liquid, the liquid level is stably determined by gravity, an electric field, and surface tension, and the lanthanum can be used until the amount of the liquid is exhausted, so that the actual life is 10 to 100 times longer.
- 705 indicates the electron emission intensity of the tungsten electron gun. Tungsten is used at a temperature exceeding 2000 ° C., and a filament of 100 ⁇ m ⁇ evaporates and cuts in about 100 hours, so that the life is very short.

It shows the name of the material suitable for use, the melting point, the boiling point, and the vapor pressure indicating the degree of liquefaction at 1000 ° C to 1500 ° C or the degree of evaporation in that temperature range.
- the one that has been widely used in the past is LaB6 single crystal, which has been used at 1500 ° C to 1600 ° C.
- lanthanum and cerium were 10-3 pascal at 1300 ° C., which were the most suitable elements.
- gadolinium has 10 -1 pasccal at 1300 ° C

Carbon atoms have been shown to significantly reduce the electron emission efficiency of hydrogenated lanthanum. Therefore, there is a possibility of forming a compound with an electron emitting material by a carbon atom contained in the material of a hollow cover tube container, for example, a lanthanum or a lanthanum atom of a hydrogenated lanthanum.

- Powder 902 of titanium dioxide TiO 2 and tungsten trioxide WO 3 is mixed into 903 in a hydrogenated lanthanum solution.
- an oxide film 907 of titanium dioxide or tungsten trioxide is adhered and formed on the inner surface of the hollow cover tube container as a photocatalyst. Since the electron gun emits at least visible light or more at 1000 ° C. or higher by the PG heater, it is possible to remove carbon impurities by oxidation using the light energy emitted by itself.

According to the explanation in this figure, it is possible to keep the emission current of the liquid electron gun constant even when the hollow cover tube container contains a very small amount of carbon component of 0.1% or less. However, if the carbon impurities in the cover tube container can be reduced, the photocatalyst may be unnecessary, but carbon contamination from the inside of the electron gun chamber is considered, so it is desirable to use the photocatalyst for safety. Since titanium dioxide may use a natural oxide film of metallic titanium and tungsten trioxide may use a natural oxide film of metallic tungsten, the powder 902 or oxide film 907 used is metallic titanium or metallic tungsten. You may.

- An electron beam 1506 is emitted from each exposed surface of the hydrogenated lanthanum liquid.
- the reason why a plurality of fine cover tube containers are bundled without using a cover tube container having a large area in this way is that the amount of liquid that can be held in the capillaries is limited to a certain amount due to the capillary phenomenon. That is, since the height of the liquid level of the liquid capillary phenomenon is inversely proportional to the circumferential distance of the inner diameter of the capillary tube, a smaller capillary tube can form a higher liquid level.

- FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a method of periodically dropping a solid electron emitting material into a hollow cover tube container in order to compensate for the consumption of the electron emitting material of the liquid electron gun.
- the liquid hydrogenated lantern 1613 evaporates and the liquid level becomes low. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement the new solid hydrogenated lantern 1601.
- a plurality of solid hydrogenated lanterns 1601 are dropped one by one on the upper surface of the sheath by the periodic rotation of the belt conveyor of the periodic solid supply mechanism 1603. It shows a solid hydrogenated lantern on which 1605a, 1605b, 1605c fall.

- FIG. 14 supplements by supplying a solid hydrogenated lantern to the cover tube container.

- the exposed surface of the liquid of the liquid electron emitting material when the electron gun in the downward direction of gravity (direction of the gravity vector) is tilted at an angle of about 45 degrees is a substantially flat surface 1702. Even if this surface is tilted by 45 degrees, it is almost unchanged from the vertical direction. That is, the surface perpendicular to the central axis of the cover tube is maintained by the surface attached to the opening on the side surface of the cover tube by surface tension.
- the upper surface of the liquid metal is oriented in the direction of gravity, and the liquid surface is perpendicular to gravity.
- the lower surface of the liquid metal is plane along the tip cross section of the hollow cover tube, or perpendicular to the cover tube axis, as a result of the balance of gravity, electric field and surface tension at that position, in this case surface tension dominates. It becomes a flat surface. This is true until the cover tube is tilted plus or minus 60 degrees with respect to gravity.
- the present inventors have confirmed that the function of the liquid electron gun is almost normally satisfied if the emission direction of the electron beam is within the range of plus or minus 60 degrees from the direction of gravity 1701 (inside the cone). Therefore, an electron gun using a liquid electron emitting material can be used downward at plus or minus 60 degrees.
- the liquid when the liquid is directed in the direction perpendicular to the direction of gravity, the liquid moves laterally in the capillary tube, so that the exposed surface of the liquid hydrogenated lantern is not formed at the tip of the cover tube container. In order to prevent this, it is considered necessary to apply horizontal pressure to the liquid hydrogenated lantern.
- the metal material to be hydrogenated is limited to several kinds of elements such as lanthanum and cerium, but other elements can be used as long as they can be used as a liquid electron emitting material that can be used as a liquid electron emitting material that can be hydrogenated and the electron generation efficiency is remarkably increased. Needless to say.
- the liquid metal of the hydride liquid metal may be a lanthanoid series metal, such as lanthanum, or cerium, or gadolinium, or terbium, or placeodium. Hydrogenation of these metals can be realized by flowing hydrogen gas inside the vacuum chamber.
- the liquid electron gun there is a conventional one that uses a zirconium liquid as a tailor cone on the sharp tip of tungsten and uses it as an electron emission surface. With this electron gun, zirconium evaporates and disappears after a certain period of time, and it is necessary to liquefy the zirconium again. That is, in this embodiment, a plane perpendicular to the direction of gravity of a stable liquid is used as a high-intensity electron gun that is stable over time, whereas a zirconium liquid electron gun that uses a Taylor cone has a form as well. The purpose and operating principle are completely different.
- a pressure is applied from the rear of the hollow cover tube container to apply an electric field to the tip to release a liquid or gas, which is then sprayed using a spray nozzle to form a film or solid, or to carve a target work object.
- the spray nozzle is similar in shape to the hollow cover tube container of this embodiment. However, in this embodiment, the fluid under pressure is not constantly flowed through the hollow cover tube container.
- This embodiment statically holds hydrogenated lanthanum, which is a liquid electron emitting material that does not flow at all, emits high-intensity electrons from the electron emitting surface, and realizes long-term stability. It's completely different. Therefore, there is no reason to be pointed out that the spray nozzle could be easily constructed by those skilled in the art.
- the electron gun of the present embodiment is far superior to the conventional electron gun, has high brightness and long life, and can be usually used for an electron beam drawing device in order to stably emit electrons.
- liquid electron gun is used in this embodiment, even if the evaporation material on the electron radiation surface at the tip evaporates, the height and shape of the electron gun plane do not change at all, so that the electrons are ultra-stable and highly accurate. A gun can be formed. This point completely overcomes the drawbacks of conventional electron guns. For this reason, we have achieved an innovative extension of the life of conventional electron guns.
- an electron gun suitable for a multi-electron beam drawing device can be realized. It can also be used for X-ray source electron guns. Further, if the diameter of the tip opening of the cover tube container is manufactured to be 10 ⁇ m or less, it can be used as an electron gun of a scanning electron microscope or a transmission electron microscope having high brightness and long life. When hydrogen gas is flowed, it can be used even at a low vacuum degree, so that it can be used as an electron gun even in a three-dimensional electron beam welding molding machine using an electron beam.
- the tip of the electron gun cover tube container is sharpened and the opening is a minute opening, it is also suitable for use in an ultrafine pattern drawing device or an electron microscope for observation.
- the electron gun since the electron gun achieves high brightness and long life, the electron gun according to the present embodiment includes an electron beam drawing device, an electron beam microscope, an electron beam inspection device, an X-ray generator, and the like, and is based on the electron gun. Makes a great contribution to the overall field of electron beam application equipment industry.
- the electron beam drawing apparatus it is required to increase the brightness from one electron gun to 10 times or more that of the conventional LaB6 or CeB6 electron gun. It is required brightness of 10 7 A / cm 2 steradian at 50 kV. For this reason, it is necessary to raise the normal operating temperature of the conventional LaB6 or CeB6 electron gun from 1500 ° C. to 1600 ° C. before use. In this way, the life of the electron gun is shortened, and it is sublimated and consumed by about 70 ⁇ m in one month. For this reason, the vacuum chamber leaked to the atmosphere about once a month, and it was necessary to replace the electron gun.
- the electron gun of the present embodiment can be operated for one year or more without maintenance, and can achieve an electron beam intensity 10 times or more that of the conventional one. Since the electron gun of the present embodiment can have a maintenance time of one day a year, the maintenance cost can be reduced.
- the electron gun of this embodiment can also be used as an X-ray emitting device, and exhibits great power as all X-ray electron guns as a high-brightness, large-current, long-life electron gun.
- X-ray emission devices have a huge market for dangerous goods detection devices in transportation and for medical examinations for diagnosing cancer, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, etc.
- the electron gun of this embodiment contributes as the core of a huge industry of 5 trillion yen or more.
- Glass substrate 411 For example, mercury 412 Mercury liquid level other than glass tube 413 Mercury container 414 Mercury 415 Glass tube 416 Lowered upper surface of mercury inside the glass tube 417 Empty glass tube when separated from the mercury container.

Abstract
Description
半導体製造工場または光露光装置のマスク製造工場でガラス乾板上のパターン形成に使用されている。パターンを発生できる技術は他にないため、電子ビームを発生する電子銃が必須となっている。世界市場は、年間20台程度である。
様々な用途で電子ビーム直接描画が使用されている。半導体製試作・微細MEMS試作に使用される。年間数百台程度である。ここで、MEMS(メムス)とは「微小な電気機械システム」という意味の英語「Micro Electro Mechanical Systems」の略称で、半導体のシリコン基板・ガラス基板・有機材料などに、機械要素部品のセンサ・アクチュエータ・電子回路などをひとまとめにしたミクロンレベル構造を持つデバイスを指す。
医療用・産業用の各種X線発生装置には電子銃が必須である。X線装置は病院での人体透過写真撮影、CT装置や、産業用にはデバイスの内部構造の試験、手荷物などの検査など多くの分野で使用される。
真空内部で材料の異なる金属同士を接合するなどの用途で精密な溶接で使用される。また近年3次元造型装置などで、電子ビームが使用される。
1)電子線を放出するための材料は、高温動作時には溶けた液体であり、水素化金属であり、水素化しない状態の金属材料本体の仕事関数を水素化することによって低減し電子放射強度を高めるとともに、大気または酸素ガス暴露時の材料の酸化を抑制するとともに、
2)液体水素化金属は高温動作時には固体である中空のカバーチューブ容器に格納されて、容器とともに高温度に加熱され、
中空のカバーチューブ容器は、同高温状態で、電子線放出材料の液体水素化金属と化学反応して溶解することのない材料からなり、中空のカバーチューブ容器は導電性を具備し
3)液体金属原子は水素原子を結合させることにより、液体金属原子の本来具備する仕事関数を低減せしめ、電子放射能率を増加せしめるようにし、
高温動作温度での液体金属の真空への蒸気圧は10‐6pascalから1pascalであり
4)水素化した液体金属の表面は法線ベクトルが重力方向と一致しており、重力と電界によって、略水平な静的平面を形成して
5)重力方向に向かうか、重力反対方向に向かって、熱電子または電界印加型熱電子放射を行う。
まず、本発明者らは、LaB6単結晶の電子銃を高温加熱する場合に、炭化水素(CH2)の鎖が長い炭化水素系接着剤を使用していると、突然電子銃がLaB6の通常運転温度1500℃が、桁違いに高輝度になり、1200℃まで、300℃の低温化で動作させても輝度が変わらないという現象を発見していた。ただし、接着剤は安定性と制御性を得ることが難しかった。
水素化したランタンLaHxによるものであることを、ランタン水素試薬を、中空のカバーチューブ容器に入れて溶かして、仕事関数が一致することを確認して突き止めた。
ここでいうLaHxとはランタン1個につき水素が1から3個のものをいう。Xは値が確定できないことを指す。
電子銃チャンバーで運転しても、水素化ランタンと同じ仕事関数2.1から2.0eVを得ることができた。
実験試作によれば、二硼化チタンまたは、二硼化ジルコニウムまたは、二硼化ハフニウムまたは、二硼化タンタルまたは二硼化イットリウムの単結晶が、カバーチューブとして使用する際に最も優れた性能を発揮した。
なお、601は液体電子銃全体の図、602は重力の方向に放出する電子ビーム、603は液体放出材料であるランタン原子、604は液体電子銃全体の図、605は重力の方向に放出する電子ビーム、606はランタン原子液体中に侵入した水素原子を示す。
多数本(ここでは7本)の中空のカバーチューブ容器を束ねた(多数本束とした)大面積のカバーチューブ容器1509のそれぞれの個別の中空のカバーチューブ容器に充填された水素化ランタン電子放出液体材料1508を具備する。水素化ランタン液体の露出した面からそれぞれ電子ビーム1506が放出される。このように大面積のカバーチューブ容器を使用せず、微細なカバーチューブ容器を複数個束ねるのは毛細管現象で毛細管内に保持できる液体の量が一定量に限定されるからである。すなわち液体の毛細管現象の液面の高さは毛細管の内径の円周距離に反比例するので、小さい毛細管のほうが高い液面を形成できる。この方法においてもマルチビームを形成できる。
本実施形態では水素化する金属材料をランタンとセリウムなど数種類の元素に限定したが、その他の元素でも水素化して電子発生効率が著しく上がる液体電子放出材料として使用できるものであれば、使用ができることは言うまでもない。
液体電子銃について、従来でもタングステンの先鋭な先端にジルコニウムの液体をテイラーコーンと呼ぶ先端のとがった液体表面を使用して、電子放出面として使用するものがある。この電子銃では一定時間経過するとジルコニウムが蒸発して、消滅して、再度ジルコニウムを液化させる必要があった。すなわち本実施系では安定な液体の重力方向に垂直な平面を、時間経過的に安定である高輝度電子銃として使用するのに対して、テイラーコーンを使用するジルコニウム液体の電子銃は、形態も目的と動作原理が全く異なる。
中空のカバーチューブ容器の後方から圧力をかけて、先端に電界をかけて、液体や気体を放出し、噴霧ノズルを用いて吹き付けて膜や固体を形成したり、対象となる作業物体を彫りこんだり、研磨する技術がある。この技術と本実施形態には似ている点がある。噴霧ノズルが本実施形態の中空のカバーチューブ容器と形状が似ている。しかし、本実施形態は中空のカバーチューブ容器に圧力をかけた流体を常時流すことをしない。本形態はまったく流動しない液体電子放出材料である水素化ランタンを静的に保持して、電子放出面から高輝度電子を放出し、長期安定性を実現するものであって、使用分野と構成が全く異なる。そのために、噴霧ノズルから当業者が容易に構成できたものであるという指摘を受ける理由はない。
本実施形態の電子銃は、従来の電子銃と比較してはるかに優れて高輝度かつ長寿命で、安定に電子放出を行うために、通常電子ビーム描画装置に使用できる。
