Abstract:
A target for use in an electronic tube is provided on a conductive layer of a support member and it comprises solid dielectric domains adhered to the conductive layer and spaced from one another. The peripheries of the dielectric domains have a random configuration so that the spacing therebetween defines random cracks exposing areas of the conductive layer. The target can also be a metallic mesh having openings of non-regular cell size if the metallic mesh is provided with dielectric thereon which has random cracks therein which exposes areas of the metal.
