Description of the invention (3) Therefore, it is difficult to perform the deposition. Therefore, it is better that the getter part also integrates the cathode function. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) US Patent 5, 8 5 4, 8 2 2 describes getter parts that also perform the cathode function. These getter cathodes are made of sintered getter materials and therefore have a particle surface: microtips (equivalent to microtips) The particle form of the getter material) has priority for emitting electrons. According to the patent 'in order to improve the cathode emission characteristics, diamond powder and the getter material powder can also be mixed during the manufacture of the cathode. Finally' International Patent Application WO -A-0 9 5 8 0 reveals various cathodes that have a getter function and have a smooth or granular surface, where a thin layer of diamond can be deposited on a defined range of the surface of the getter material, or sintered Before the getter material, diamond and the powder of the getter material were mixed to improve the efficiency of emitting electrons. It is not printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. In order to ensure the geometric precision and electronic position stability with the very low tolerance of the miniaturized X-ray emitter for medical purposes, all cathode getters described in the above patents have serious structural problems. Facts In order to emit X-rays by applying a difference of tens of thousands of volts between the anode and the cathode, the distance between the arrangement of the anode and the cathode is not more than 1.5 mm, preferably less than one mm; under these conditions, There is a very high electric field, and even if the theoretical geometric deviation (in terms of distance and lateral deviation) of the interchangeable arrangement with the cathode and anode is only a tenth of a millimeter or less, it may cause a significant change in the number of X-rays emitted, Therefore, the radiation is too weak to be effectively treated, or is too strong. Therefore, the radiation is beyond the scope of treatment and the risk of damaging adjacent healthy tissues. Therefore, the paper size of this paper is applicable to the Zhongshan County (CNS) A4 specification ( 210X 297 mm) 507245 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (4 poles and anodes must be located at a precise distance and aligned with the axis of the smallest transmitter The manufacturing method of the above-mentioned patent cannot guarantee all absolute geometric precision. According to the conventional technique, an appropriate amount of powder is introduced into an open mold, and the powder is heat-treated to prepare the getter part. During this process, There will be a reduction in the total volume of the powder, which decreases with the powder level (although it is a minimum case) and its free top surface realignment. The free surface is the surface to be used in the next step, which makes the getter cathode and the The final component base is preferably connected to form one of the inner walls of the miniaturized X-ray emitter shield. The irregular shape of the free surface of the sintered powder reflects the distance between the cathode getter tip and the base. Inaccurate; and perpendicular to the surface of the base; then these inaccurate changes in the distance between the cathode and the anode, and the non-coaxial orientation of the cathode to the emitter, respectively, cause the above disadvantages. The object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a miniaturized X-ray emitter assembly. The assembly includes an integrated cathode and a getter function combined with a metal base, which avoids the problems and difficulties of the conventional method. , And provide the resulting combination. The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by a method including the following steps: a) A first mold of an emotional material is prepared with at least one notch in its flat upper surface, and the axis of the notch is perpendicular to the upper surface. b) scraping the recess with at least one mixture, the mixture including powder of at least one sintered material and powder of at least one material selected from the getter material and diamond; the paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210, / 297 mm) (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page), 11 Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs -7- Printed by the Employee Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 507245 A 7 B7 5. Description of the invention (3C) A second mold 'in which an inert material is placed on the first mold has at least one through hole so that the through hole is coaxial with the notch of the first mold. d) introducing a metal part into the through hole, the metal part is provided with a material layer in advance, which is beneficial to the adhesion of the mixture of at least one powder and the metal part in the subsequent heat treatment; e) will be formed by the mold and the powder The combined body and the components contained therein are sent into a furnace and heat-treated to sinter at least one mixture of the powder; f) at the end of the sintering heat treatment, withdraw the function of the integrated cathode and getter from the mold The combination of the components and the metal parts. The definition of "scraping" means a method commonly used in the field of powder processing to fill the recessed surface in a mold; the method includes introducing the powder into a recess until it is completely filled and scraping with a spatula Clean the upper surface of the mold to remove excess powder outside the recess.

The preferred mixtures for this purpose of the invention are by weight, including a mixture of 70% T i and 30% St 101 alloy; a mixture of 70% T i and 30% alloy 707; 40% zr and 60% A mixture of alloy S t 7 0 7; and a mixture including 60% T i and 40% alloy S t 7 0 7. At least 10% of titanium or hafnium is preferably replaced by its hydride, which releases oxygen during the heat treatment, which helps the oxidation of the surface of the particles and promotes sintering. The particle size of the powder forming the mixture 3 3 is less than 50 microns: the larger particle size makes the getter cathode have a very uneven surface (because it is difficult to control the electron emission) and too porous (because of the poor electron emission rate) ). After filling the powder of the mixture 3 3 for the first time, the recess 3 1 can be slightly pressed with a suitable punching machine, and then a new scraping can be performed to improve the powder density in the recess.

Description of the invention () Q This will cause the powder to settle and reduce its level in the notch 3 1. Finally, both methods can be performed, first compacting the powder by shaking the mold, and then pressing them slightly into the recess. In step c, a second mold 3 4 made of an inert material under the heat treatment conditions of the present invention is placed on the mold 30; this material is usually (but not necessarily) the same as the mold 30. The die 34 has at least one through hole 35, the diameter of which is equivalent to the part 12, and is arranged on the die 30 in a position such that the hole 3 5 is coaxial with the notch 31. The conventional "pin connection" method is used to ensure that the precise interchangeable positioning of the molds 30 and 34 is better. According to this method, these molds have at least two (three or four better) thin through holes, which are different in different The mold is located at a corresponding position, in which pins are inserted at a height at least equal to the sum of the heights of all the molds placed above. In step d, the part 12 is inserted into the hole 35, the surface 18 of which faces the mold 30, and a layer of material that can promote the adhesion between the mixture 33 and the metal part 12 is provided in advance, such as the element 3 in the drawing 6. The adhesion-promoting layer 36 may be in the form of a film applied to the part 12 by an appropriate technique, or in the form of a powder layer, which will be described in detail below. In step e (not shown in Fig. 3), the thus-formed assembly is sent to a furnace and heat-treated to sinter the powder of the mixture 33. The heat treatment is carried out under vacuum (pressure below 10-6 mbar) to krypton, and it usually takes 1 minute to 2 hours. The processing temperature is usually between 7 50 and 1 100 ° C. The accuracy depends on the function of the particular mixture used. During this treatment, the four-solid cross-diffusion between the material of the mixture and the material used to form the layer 36 was performed. As a result, at the end of the heat treatment, the paper size was adapted to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) ( Please read the notes on the back before filling this page.) Order 丨 Line 1 Consumer Cooperation of Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Du Yinfan-13- 507245 Printed A7 B7 by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs The parts 12 and the parts formed by the sintered mixture 33 are joined together. Finally, step f (not shown in Fig. 3) of the method includes removing the f Wu combination from the furnace and removing the final product from these molds. The product shown in FIG. 4 is not shown in FIG. 4 and is integrated 40 (side view), and includes a part 12 connected to a getter cathode 41 through a layer 36. Because of its manufacturing method, the assembly 40 ensures the precision and reproduction of the distance between the tip of the getter cathode 41 (represented by 4 2 in the drawing) and the surface of the part 12 2 18 Therefore, the distance between the cathode and the anode between emission: g§: 10, precision and reproducibility are ensured; the assembly 40 also ensures that the surface 1 g is perpendicular to the axis of the getter cathode 41, so Ensure the coaxial condition between the latter and the transmitter 10. This high degree of geometric precision and reproducibility allows precise control and proper operation of the transmitter 10. In the first important embodiment of the invention, the layer 36 is in the form of a thin film of the material 37 which is applied to the part 12. The thin film can be formed using the above CVD technique, electroplating, or by physical vapor deposition (PvD, also commonly referred to as sputtering in the field). The layer 36 can be on the entire surface 18 (the possibility is not shown in FIG. 3), but since the masking technique is already known in the field of thin film deposition, the masking technique is only applied to 19th part of the surface The upper layer is better (the specific embodiment is not shown in FIG. 3; for the sake of clarity, the film thickness of the material 37 is greatly exaggerated). The preferred technique for forming layer 36 is P V D, which is easier to perform than other cited techniques. It has been found that suitable materials for forming an adhesion-promoting thin film to parts 12 may be selected from the metals T i, Ni, Cu, Co; a two-component alloy Mi-Cr, Co-Cr or Fe-Cr; a three-component alloy Ni—Cr— Ni or Co This paper size is applicable to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) •! -1 --- 1-.. .....--.....--II ....... ili -.............—

According to a second specific embodiment of the method of the present invention, layers 36 may be in the form of four powder layers of welding material. In this case, two additional improvement steps shown in FIG. 5 are added to the method described in FIG. After performing step b of the method of FIG. 3, step g is performed in this specific embodiment, and step g is used to form a low depression 50 ′ relative to the surface 32, which is applicable to a stamping machine (not shown in the figure). The mixture 3 3 is slightly pressed into the notch 3 1, by means of a vibrating die 30, or by the above two methods. Then, in step h, the low recess 5 0 is scraped with a powder of 5 1 welded. This step can also be achieved by the vibration mode 30. The melting temperature of material 51 must be close to the temperature that is subsequently used to sinter the mixture 33 in this method. In particular, the melting temperature must not be lower than the sintering temperature of the mixture 3 3 in order to avoid the material 5 1 binding to the polymer powder during melting, thereby reducing or eliminating its gettering effect of becoming a gas; on the other hand, the material 5 1 The melting temperature is preferably not higher than the sintering temperature of 10 to 15 ° C, to facilitate its welding effect and to bond the mixture 3 3 and the metal part 12 in step e of the method. The particle size of the material 51 is preferably less than about 1000 microns: a larger particle size may make it difficult for the sintered mixture 33 to contact the body formed by the metal part 12. The preferred soldering materials are silver, silver-copper alloys, and silver-copper-gold alloys. Among the silver-copper alloys, the preferred ones are those with a silver content greater than about 60% silver, with a fusible composition comprising 72% silver. good. Pure silver and fusible composition have the advantage of clear melting temperature, so the method parameters can be set optimally.

Invention Description () 3 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) But it must be different from silver and When the melting temperature of the fusible Ag-Cu composition is sintered, other alloys must be selected; in particular, when the sintering temperature must be performed, the Ag-Cu-Au composition is used. When step h is completed, the method is continued with the above steps c-f, which is to place the mold 34 on the mold 30 filled with the mixture and the welding material 51 and perform the above-mentioned sintering heat treatment on the assembly. The result of the second specific embodiment of the method of the present invention is an assembly 60, which is shown in Fig. 6 in a side view. The assembly 60 includes metal parts 12 connected to the getter cathode 61 by a layer 36, wherein the layer 36 is formed of a welding material 51. In the improvement of the method described in the reference to Figures 3 and 5 by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, a metal part 12 having a surface portion 18 (corresponding to a portion 19 respectively) may be used instead of the part 12 The metal part 12 'is more prominent than the surface 18; this improvement is shown in FIG. 7, and an example of the specific embodiment of FIG. 3 is used as a reference. When step b is completed, step i is performed, and by step i, the mixture 3 3 is slightly pressed into the notch 3 1 (or the vibration mold 3 0) to obtain a low recess 70 with respect to the surface 32. Proceed to step c, placing the mold 34 on the mold 30. In addition, a part 1 2 ′ having a protruding portion 7 1 (equivalent to the portion 19) is prepared, and the layer 3 6 of the material 37 is located only on the circular surface of the portion 7 1. Then, step d is carried out. As shown in the figure, the thus-prepared part 1 2 'is inserted into the through hole 3 5 of the mold 34, the part 7 1 extends into the low recess 70 0' and the layer 3 6 contacts the mixture 33. By applying pressure to the part 12 (dynamically, for example with a punch, or statically placing a weight on it), the contact with the mixture 3 3 is better during sintering, so the completed assembly is mechanically This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm) 507245 A7 B7 V.

In order to improve the electron emission properties (cathode functionality) of the getter cathode, one of the above-mentioned "CVD" or "laser ablation" methods can be used. Any of the described embodiments or modified diamond films are placed on the getter cathode tip (42). Because the thickness of the thin film produced by these techniques is 千 thousandths of a millimeter or less, this operation does not improve the geometric relationship between the prepared getter cathode and the anode in the emitter 10. Alternatively, instead of the mixture 3 3, a mixture 3 3 'prepared by incorporating diamond powder into the mixture 3 3 may be used. The diameter of the diamond powder is preferably between about 1 and 50 microns, and more preferably about 10 microns. In the aforementioned another improvement of the present invention, diamond powder may be added only to the tip portion of the getter cathode, as described above and with reference to FIG. 9, which shows a cross section of the results of the main steps of the last improvement of the method of the present invention. According to this improved method, in step j, a mold 90 of an inert material is prepared, which has a notch 91, the axis of the notch 91 is perpendicular to the upper surface 92 of the die, and its depth is only to make suction Aerosol cathode length.
