AN ELECTRON MULTIPLYING STRUCTURE FOR USE IN A VACUUM TUBE USING ELECTRON MULTIPLYING AS WELL AS A VACUUM TUBE USING ELECTRON MULTIPLYING PROVIDED WITH SUCH AN ELECTRON MULTIPLYING STRUCTURE

摘要

The invention relates to an electron multiplying structure for use in a vacuum tube using electron multiplying and to an vacuum tube using electron multiplying provided with such an electron multiplying structure. According to the invention an electron multiplying structure is proposed for use 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 adjacent the detection windows.
