Title:
ELECTRON TUBE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/027179
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A photoelectron surface (11) is formed in a predetermined area of the inner wall of an enclosure (2) of an electron tube (1). An avalanche photodiode (APD) (15) is disposed inside the enclosure (2) and surrounded by a cover (71) and a tubular inner wall portion (72). A manganese bead (17) and an antimony bead (19) serving as evaporation sources are disposed outside and near the tubular inner wall portion (72), surrounded by a tubular outer wall portion (74), and used to produce a metal vapor and to serve as materials for forming the photoelectric surface (11). Thanks to the cover (71) and the inner and outer wall portions (72, 74), the metal vapor is prevented from depositing on the APD (15) and on unwanted portions inside the electron tube (1) during the formation of the photoelectric surface (11).
