DEVICE FOR SHAPING AN ELECTRON BEAM, METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAID DEVICE AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to an extremely low-capacitance device for forming an electron beam. The device is based on a ceramic body having a monolithic multilayer structure. The ceramic body is produced using LTCC technology, whereby said method is modified in a targeted manner. The body is made of presintered ceramic layers, whose lateral shrinkage is suppressed. The through holes of the electrodes for the electron beam are thus exactly arranged coaxially and tolerances for the dimensions of the electrodes are decoupled from shrinkage during sintering. Such a device makes it possible to focus the electron beam of an electron gun and modulate its intensity.
