Abstract
A method for assembling an electron exit window of an electron beam generating device comprises arranging a foil support plate on a housing of the electron beam generating device, bonding a window foil to a frame along at least one continuous bonding line, thus creating an exit window sub-assembly, and attaching the exit window sub-assembly onto the housing.
Claims11
A method for assembling an electron exit window of an electron beam generating device, comprising:
- arranging a foil support plate on a housing of the electron beam generating device, the foil support plate comprising an indentation and the housing comprising an indentation;
- bonding a metal window foil to a frame along at least one continuous bonding line, thus creating an exit window sub-assembly;
- and
- attaching the exit window sub-assembly onto the housing by positioning the frame of the exit window sub-assembly in both the indentation of the foil support plate and the indentation of the housing.
A method for assembling an electron exit window of an electron beam generating device, comprising:
- bonding a window foil made of metal to a frame along at least one endless bonding line to create an exit window sub-assembly in which the window foil is bonded to the frame, the frame surrounding an open region and the window foil extending across the entire open region;
- securing a foil support plate to an edge of an opening in a flange of a housing of the electron beam generating device so that the foil plate spans the entire opening, the foil support plate comprising an indentation and the flange of the housing comprising an indentation that directly communicates with the indentation of the foil support plate so that the indentation of the foil support plate and the indentation of the flange form a continuous indentation;
- and
- attaching the exit window sub-assembly onto the housing in covering relation to the foil support plate so that no part of the foil support plate is exposed to outside atmosphere by arranging the frame of the exit window sub-assembly in the continuous indentation collectively formed by the foil support plate and the flange of the housing.
A method for assembling an electron exit window of an electron beam generating device, comprising:
- arranging a foil support plate on a housing of the electron beam generating device, the foil support plate and the housing each comprising an indentation,
- bonding a window foil made of metal to a frame along at least one continuous bonding line to create an exit window sub-assembly, and
- attaching the exit window sub-assembly onto the housing, the attaching of the exit window sub-assembly comprising positioning the frame of the exit window sub-assembly in the indentation of the foil support plate and in the indentation of the housing.
