In an X-ray generation apparatus of transmission type including an electron emission source, and a target generating an X-ray with collision of electrons emitted from the electron emission source against the target, the X-ray generation apparatus further includes a secondary X-ray generation portion generating an X-ray with collision of electrons reflected by the target against the secondary X-ray generation portion, and the secondary X-ray generation portion and the target are arranged such that the X-ray generated with the direct collision of the electrons against the target and the X-ray generated with the collision of the electrons reflected by the target against the secondary X-ray generation portion are both radiated to an outside. X-ray generation efficiency is increased by effectively utilizing the electrons reflected by the target.

An electron-emitting device is provided with stable electron emission characteristics and with uniformity of electron emission. The present invention thus provides a method for producing an electron-emitting device having a pair of device electrodes opposed to each other and a thin film including an electron-emitting region, formed on a substrate, wherein a voltage is applied so that a potential of a front surface of the substrate becomes higher than a potential of the back surface thereof. On that occasion, the strength of the electric field is not more than 20 kV/cm between the front surface and the back surface of the substrate. The substrate is heated during the application of the voltage.

A semiconductor laser of the present invention includes a semiconductor laser structure having a waveguide extending along a resonance direction, an active layer provided at least partly in the waveguide, and a control unit for controlling the excited state of the semiconductor laser structure to change the relationship between wavelengths or propagation constants and threshold gains for transverse electric (TE) mode and transverse magnetic (TM) mode of the laser structure. The waveguide is designed such that threshold gains for the TE mode and the TM mode can be alternately made minimum under the control of the control unit.

A field effect type photo-detector comprises a semiconductor buffer layer arranged on a substrate. A semiconductor activation layer is arranged on that buffer layer, and a source electrode, a drain electrode and a gate electrode are arranged on the activation layer. A depletion layer for controlling a current flow between the source electrode and the drain electrode is created in the activation layer by applying a voltage to the gate electrode. When light irradiates the activation layer, the depletion layer changes. The buffer layer has a wider band gap than that of the activation layer and has an energy gap which serves as a barrier to carriers. The buffer layer has a sufficiently wide band gap to prevent the absorption of light having an equal wavelength to that of the light irradiated to the activation layer.

Provided is an X-ray generator (10) which causes electrons having passed through an electron path (4), formed by an electron path formation member (3) surrounding the periphery of the electron path (4), to be emitted against a target to generate an X-ray, in which: an X-ray generated when the sub X-ray generating portion (5) provided in the electron path (4) is irradiated with the electrons backscatterred off the target is capable of being taken out; a material which constitutes the target and a material which constitutes at least the sub X-ray generating portion (5) of the electron path formation member (3) are the same material of which atomic number is 40 or greater. X-ray generation efficiency can be improved by effectively using the electrons backscatterred off the transmission target.

A method for manufacturing an electron source includes the steps of covering a substrate provided with a first electrode and a second electrode by a container, introducing a gas composed of a carbon compound into the container, and forming a carbon film by applying a voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode. The relationship 1/(4/Cx−1/Cz)≧Sout≧4Sact−Cin is satisfied, where Cin is the conductance from the gas inlet to the position of the substrate nearest to the gas inlet, Cx is the conductance from the position of the substrate nearest to the gas inlet to the position of the substrate nearest to the gas outlet, Sout is the effective exhaust rate, Sact is the consumption rate of the gas, and Cz is the conductance from the substrate to the gas outlet. An apparatus for manufacturing an electron source and a method for manufacturing an image-forming apparatus are also disclosed.
摘要:
A light absorbing layer is formed in a photodetector that receives and detects light guided therein. Carriers are generated in the light absorbing layer in response to the guided light. Unwanted carriers likely to be generated in regions other than the light absorbing layer when light is guided into the photodetector are swept out by a carrier sweeping arrangement to improve the time response and light-current characteristics of the photodetector.
