Electron beam gun A cathode is placed a high potential and electron are leaked in a stream to the anode. Cathode: It is operate at high negative potential. Tungsten filament: It is heated to a bright glow for thermionic emission. Anode: At ground potential, the anode accelerates the electrons in a vacuum environment as an electrostatic field.

Temescal SFIH – 270 – 2 Filament is inside of a cavity and both (filament and cavity) are at the same negative potential. This cavity generates the electrostatic field which forms the beam. Electrons are directed to the ground potential of the material in the crucible. The electromagnetic coils direct the beam, and the surrounding magnetic fields guide and focus the beam on the target.

Temescal SFIH – 270 – 2 The design of the Temescal e-beam use a 270º geometry The crucible must be water cooled 5000-20000V Powers as high as 300kW Geometry of the emitter can reduce contamination of the electron source and electron beam scanning range can be expanded E-beam gun Emitter Heat diffusion SFIH - 270 - 2 Coil magnetic field System
Cold-hearth containment Heat diffusion The energy of the beam is so intensely concentrated on the surface of the evaporant that it forms a pool of molten evaporant. In the evaporation from a water-cooled crucible, high boiling point materials remain in a solid “skull” at the interface with the crucible. Cold-hearth containment The heat diffusion mechanism is a combination of conduction and convection. The magnitude of heat flow is proportional to the first power of temperature E-beam gun Emitter Heat diffusion SFIH - 270 - 2 Coil magnetic field System
Emitter Formed by an anode, a cathode and a filament inside a cavity, the emitter generates the beam by thermionic emission. Emission voltage: 4 to 10kV Filament voltage: 12V maximum Filament current: 50A maximum E-beam gun Emitter Heat diffusion SFIH - 270 - 2 Coil magnetic field System
