Abstract:
An electron beam irradiation device includes a stage, a main body unit, and a first mechanism. The main body unit includes a substrate, first members, and a first layer. The first members are arranged to be separated in a second direction intersecting a first direction and is provided at a first surface of the substrate opposing the stage. The first layer is provided between the stage and the first members and between the stage and the substrate. The first layer converts a light ray into an electron beam. The first mechanism is provided in the stage and moves the stage in the second direction. A distance of the movement is not less than a spacing between a center in the second direction of the first member and a center in the second direction of one other first member adjacent to the first member.
Abstract:
An electron-beam induced plasmas is utilized to establish a non-mechanical, electrical contact to a device of interest. This plasma source may be referred to as atmospheric plasma source and may be configured to provide a plasma column of very fine diameter and controllable characteristics. The plasma column traverses the atmospheric space between the plasma source into the atmosphere and the device of interest and acts as an electrical path to the device of interest in such a way that a characteristic electrical signal can be collected from the device. Additionally, by controlling the gases flowing into the plasma column the probe may be used for surface modification, etching and deposition.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an irradiation device for irradiating objects with electron beams. The irradiation device comprises at least one electron beam emitter having an electron exit window and at least one sensor device for detecting a first dose control parameter of the electron beam. The electron beam emitter is adapted to move past the sensor device such that the electron beam emitted from the electron exit window passes within a sensing area of the sensor device. The sensor device comprises more than one conductor each having a conductor surface in the sensing area of the sensor device, and the conductor surface is adapted to be exposed to electrons of the electron beam. The invention also relates to a method.
Abstract:
This invention proposes, among other things, systems and methods for providing ozone generators or plasma generators that generate an electric field in an electron generation chamber that is separate from a reaction chamber. An electron beam emitter in an electron generation chamber is configured to emit a beam of electrons and is separated from the reaction chamber by an electron permeable barrier that provides a window through which the beam of electrons passes. The electrons are accelerated to the required energy in the electron generation chamber and transmitted through the barrier to the reaction chamber, where an input gas source introduces an input gas into the reaction chamber. The input gas may react with the beam of electrons inside the reaction chamber to form an output gas comprising a plasma or a concentration of ozone, and the output gas passes from the reaction chamber to a wafer processing chamber.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for treating formed parts with high-energy electron beams. The electron beams are guided by two opposite stationary or displaceable electron discharge windows onto the formed part and bounding a process space for the formed part. A transport device is present for the formed part, by which the formed part can be guided through the process space to the electron discharge windows disposed substantially vertically perpendicular to the transport direction. A channel is disposed in the process space for transporting the formed part and largely shielded against the X-ray radiation.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for an electron beam directed energy device. The device consists of an electron gun with one or more electron beams. The device includes one or more accelerating plates with holes aligned for beam passage. The plates may be flat or preferably shaped to direct each electron beam to exit the electron gun at a predetermined orientation. In one preferred application, the device is located in outer space with individual beams that are directed to focus at a distant target to be used to impact and destroy missiles. The aimings of the separate beams are designed to overcome Coulomb repulsion. A method is also presented for directing the beams to a target considering the variable terrestrial magnetic field. In another preferred application, the electron beam is directed into the ground to produce a subsurface x-ray source to locate and/or destroy buried or otherwise hidden objects including explosive devices.
