Patterned negative electron affinity photocathodes for maskless electron beam lithography
This work focuses on two issues crucial to achieving high throughput with a negative electron affinity semiconductor photocathode source. Monte Carlo simulations indicate that for a 50 kV system, as much as 8 mA of current may be delivered to the wafer to achieve a raw throughput of 20 8 in. wafers per hour with 0.1 mm minimum feature size ~assuming a resist sensitivity of 10 mC/cm!. In order t...
متن کاملA Model for Emission Yield from Planar Photocathodes Based on Photon-Enhanced Thermionic Emission or Negative-Electron-Affinity Photoemission
A general model is presented for electron emission yield from planar photocathodes that accounts for arbitrary cathode thickness and finite recombination velocities at both front and back surfaces. This treatment is applicable to negative electron affinity emitters as well as positive electron affinity cathodes, which have been predicted to be useful for energy conversion. The emission model is...
متن کاملThermal emittance and response time measurements of negative electron affinity photocathodes
The thermal emittance and temporal response of a photocathode set an upper limit on the maximum achievable electron beam brightness from a photoemission electron source, or photoinjector. We present measurements of these parameters over a broad range of laser wavelength for two different negative electron affinity NEA photocathodes. The thermal emittance of NEA GaAs and GaAsP has been measured ...
متن کاملThe Distribution of Oxide Species in the Cs/O Activation Layer on InP(100) Negative Electron Affinity Photocathodes
The atomic arrangement of Cs oxides in the activation layer of an InP photocathode is investigated using Angle Dependent Photoemission Spectroscopy (ADPES). Two distinct peaks in the O1s core level and in valence band spectra have led to the discovery of two molecular oxygen species incorporated in the thin activation layer: Cs peroxide (Cs2O2) and Cs superoxide (CsO2). The different angular de...
متن کاملOXIDE EFFECTS ON PHOTOEMISSION FROM HIGH CURRENT GaAs PHOTOCATHODES*
During four years of on line operation of the SLAC polarized electron gun (PEGGY) and polarized LEED (PLEED) system, we have observed and characterized the failure modes of the GaAs (100) photocathodes (PC’s) used in these systems. Several modes are observed. Gradual decreases in electron polarization and intensity are attributed to the physisorption of CO2 on the PC’s during running at LN2 tem...
