    Abstract: The disclosure includes an ionization chamber, a first electron multiplier, and a second electron multiplier. The ionization chamber is configured to receive gas molecules from an environment at a pressure. The first electron multiplier is configured to receive a plurality of photons from a photon source, generate a first plurality of electrons from the plurality of photons, and discharge the first plurality of electrons into the ionization chamber to generate a plurality of gas ions from at least a portion of the gas molecules. The second electron multiplier is configured to receive the plurality of gas ions from the ionization chamber and generate a second plurality of electrons from the plurality of gas ions that is proportional to a quantity of the plurality of gas ions. A quantity of electrons of the second plurality of electrons is indicative of the pressure.

    Abstract: An ionization gauge to measure pressure, while controlling the location of deposits resulting from sputtering when operating at high pressure, includes at least one electron source that emits electrons, and an anode that defines an ionization volume. The ionization gauge also includes a collector electrode that collects ions formed by collisions between the electrons and gas molecules and atoms in the ionization volume, to provide a gas pressure output. The electron source can be positioned at an end of the ionization volume, such that the exposure of the electron source to atom flux sputtered off the collector electrode and envelope surface is minimized. Alternatively, the ionization gauge can include a first shade outside of the ionization volume, the first shade being located between the electron source and the collector electrode, and, optionally, a second shade between the envelope and the electron source, such that atoms sputtered off the envelope are inhibited from depositing on the electron source.
