Abstract
An electron multiplying structure for use in a vacuum tube using electron multiplying, the electron multiplying structure having an input face intended to be oriented in a facing relationship with an entrance window of the vacuum tube, an output face intended to be oriented in a facing relationship with a detection surface of the vacuum tube, wherein the electron multiplying structure at least is composed of a semi-conductor material layer adjacent the detection windows. Also disclosed is a vacuum tube using electron multiplying with an electron multiplying structure.
Claims15
An electron multiplying structure in a vacuum tube using electron multiplying, the electron multiplying structure comprising:
- an input face intended to be oriented in a facing relationship with an entrance window of the vacuum tube,
- an output face intended to be oriented in a facing relationship with a detection surface of the vacuum tube,
- wherein the electron multiplying structure at least is composed of a semi-conductor material layer, wherein the semi-conductor material layer is adjacent and directly attached to the detection surface of the vacuum tube.
