Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing layered multi-channel plates with metal dynodes for amplifying optical images or other areal signal distributions by means of secondary electron multiplication, and to the use of multi-channel plates produced in this way.
  • the invention is based on the object of proposing a method for producing layered multi-channel image intensifier plates of the generic type in which the separate production of the dynodes and their subsequent stacking and mutual alignment are avoided.
  • layered multi-channel plates with metal dynodes can be produced, with which a similarly high spatial resolution and a similarly high transparency as in the known image intensifier plates made of glass can be achieved without the limitations typical for glass image intensifier plates in the gain factor and in the signal repetition frequency must be accepted.
  • the method of the invention can be modified in accordance with claim 2 to reduce the cost of mass production of multi-channel plates of the type described in claim 1.
  • a metallic positive mold is produced with a primary negative mold of the layered multi-channel plate using a metal electrode connected to it by galvanic molding and subsequent removal of the primary negative mold, after which several secondary moldings are made by repeated molding of the metallic positive mold
  • Negative forms of the layered multi-channel plate be produced that take on the role of the primary negative form in the further implementation of the method.
  • Non-adhesive reactive resins are particularly suitable as impression materials. Further details relating to the impression can be found, for example, in DE-PS 32 06 820.
  • the dynodes are mutually electrically isolated by removing the intermediate layers. If layered multi-channel plates with a larger diameter are to be produced in this way, it can be advantageous to mount electrically insulating supports not only on the channel-free edge, but also within the image field of the multi-channel plate, which is penetrated by channels.
  • the supports in the area of the layered multi-channel plates, which are interspersed with channels only cover about 1 per mille of the image field, they can be perceived as a disadvantage if the transmission quality is particularly high.
  • a modification of the method of the invention according to claim 4 is provided.
  • Aluminum is particularly suitable for the subsequent conversion of the intermediate layer into an electrical insulator described there.
  • the small wall thicknesses typical of multi-channel plates with high transparency it can be converted in a known manner with oxidizing agent working in the liquid and / or gaseous phase into the electrically excellent insulating Al 2 O 3 .
  • the area penetrated by channels is to be surrounded by a channel-free area to facilitate assembly or the electrical connections, this area must consist of numerous thin walls to ensure the conversion of the more easily oxidizable material into an insulator.
  • the limitation to thin walls does not apply if the intermediate layers, according to claim 5, are produced by complete or partial oxidation of electrodeposited aluminum layers.
  • the oxidation of the aluminum layers can be carried out both chemically and electrochemically.
  • an inclination of the channels against the plate surface favors the collision of the primary particles with the channel walls and thus the desired electron release.
  • the inclination of the channels is achieved by mutual displacement of the dynodes during stacking.
  • dislocations occur between the mutually assigned channels of the adjacent dynodes, which lead to a reduction in transparency and / or the spatial resolution.
  • the inclination of the channels can be brought about by appropriate orientation of the plate surface with respect to the direction of propagation of the high-energy radiation without loss of transparency and / or spatial resolution.
  • a channel curvature aimed at suppressing the acceleration of parasitic ions can likewise only be achieved in the previously known methods for producing layered multi-channel plates only by mutually displacing the dynodes with the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • these disadvantages can be avoided in that, according to claim 7, before the formation of the dynodes and intermediate layers, the negative shapes of the channels are bent at a higher temperature by a uniformly acting force, for example a centrifugal force.
  • the layered multi-channel plates can be assembled in such a way that the channel openings of layered multi-channel plates lying on top of one another are aligned with one another. This avoids losses in transparency and / or spatial resolution.
  • Both corpuscular rays and electromagnetic waves can be considered as high-energy radiation. While the use of electromagnetic waves to produce the desired structures uses masks in a known manner, the structures can also be generated by electromagnetic control when using corpuscular beams.
  • the X-ray radiation (“synchrotron radiation") generated by the electron synchrotons, which is characterized by high intensity with a small aperture angle.
  • the choice of the material that can be changed by high-energy radiation depends on the type of high-energy radiation, and corresponding regulations can be found, for example, in DE-PS 29 22 642 and DE-OS 32 21 981.
  • PMMA polymethyl methacrylate
  • the secondary electron yield factor of those with channels can be known in a manner known per se provided metal layers may be increased considerably.
  • the PMMA plate 1 is irradiated with synchrotron radiation 3 via an X-ray mask, which is directed obliquely to the surfaces of the PMMA plate 1 and the X-ray mask.
  • the x-ray mask consists of a carrier 4 which only weakly absorbs the x-ray radiation and an absorber 5 which strongly absorbs the x-ray radiation, by means of which the cross-sectional shapes and the positions of the negative shapes of the channels are determined.
  • the individual structures of the absorber 5 correspond to the cross-sectional shapes of the negative shapes of the channels. Due to the high-intensity parallel synchrotron radiation, the PMMA in the areas 6 not covered by the absorber will undergo chemical radiation changes. These areas 6 irradiated in this way are removed by introducing the PMMA plate into a developer solution, so that a multichannel negative shape with columnar PMMA structures 7 and lattice-shaped free spaces 8 according to FIG. 3 is produced.
  • the columnar PMMA structures 7 have a hexagonal cross-sectional shape with a width of approximately 30 ⁇ m , the width of the free spaces 8 between the PMMA structures 7 is approximately 4 ⁇ m.
  • FIG. 4 When producing a multi-channel plate with individual dynodes, which are firmly connected to electrically insulating supports, the negative form shown in FIG. 4 is assumed, which, in addition to the metal electrode 2a, the columnar PMMA structures 7a with lattice-free spaces 8a, as they are were already shown in Figure 3, additionally contains supports 9 made of electrically insulating material. In the free spaces 8a layers of nickel 10 and copper 11 are deposited galvanically alternately so that a formed-construction according to "Fig. 5.
  • the PMMA structures 7a with an organic solvent and the copper layers 11 and the electrode 2a with an etch, which does not attack the nickel layers 10, are first removed, so that a sequence of mutually insulated dynode layers, which are fixed to the electrically insulating supports 9 connected, remains.
  • the negative mold 7 shown in FIG. 3 is used in the production of layered multi-channel plates made of dynodes and intermediate layers subsequently produced. 6, layers of nickel 12 and aluminum 13 are alternately deposited in the free spaces 8 of the negative mold 7. After removal of the negative mold 7 with an organic solvent and the electrode 2 with an etch which does not attack either the nickel layers 12 or the aluminum layers 13, the aluminum layers become known
