Title:
MICROCHANNEL PLATE AND METHOD OF MAKING MICROCHANNEL PLATE WITH METAL CONTACTS SELECTIVELY FORMED ON ONE SIDE OF CHANNEL OPENINGS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2023172950
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide an improved microchannel plate.SOLUTION: The invention provides a night vision system, a microchannel plate (MCP), and a planetary deposition system and methodology for selectively depositing an electrode contact metal on one side of MCP channel openings. One or more MCPs can be releasably secured to a face of a platter that rotates about its central platter axis. The rotating platter can be tilted on a rotating ring fixture surrounding an evaporative source of the contact metal. Therefore, the rotating platter further rotates such that it orbits around the evaporative source of the contact metal. A mask with a variable size mask opening is arranged between the rotating platter and the evaporative source. Although the mask orbits around the evaporative source together with the rotating platter, the mask does not rotate along its own axis as does the rotating platter.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 10
