Abstract
A process of accelerating electrons with a voltage applied thereto in a vacuum, guiding the accelerated electrons into a normal-pressure atmosphere, and irradiating the electron beam (EB) onto an object. The electron beam irradiation process uses a vacuum tube-type electron beam irradiation apparatus, and with the acceleration voltage for generating an electron beam set at a value smaller than 100 kV, the electron beam is irradiated onto the object.
Claims3
An electron beam irradiation process for irradiating an object with an electron beam, wherein when an acceleration voltage of an electron beam to be irradiated is higher than 40 kV and equal to or lower than 120 kV, the electron beam is irradiated in such a manner that an oxygen concentration of a region irradiated with the electron beam fulfills a relationship indicated by expression (a)
- Y≦1.19×102×exp(−4.45×10−2×X) (a)
- where X is the acceleration voltage (kV) and Y is the oxygen concentration (%) of the region irradiated with the electron beam.
