Description

Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of micro-channel plates, in particular to a micro-channel plate for ultraviolet light and X-ray detection with high stability and high detection efficiency and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The microchannel plate (Microchannel Plate, MCP) is a simple and compact electron multiplier successfully developed in the last 60 th century, is in the shape of a thin wafer with millions of tiny parallel hollow glass tubes gathered, and each hollow tube channel acts like a continuous dynode multiplier, can detect particles, electrons, X-rays and UV photons, has the advantages of low power consumption, self-saturation, high-speed detection, low noise and the like, and is widely applied to various detectors.
In order to improve the detection efficiency of the conventional MCP for ultraviolet light and X-rays, a material with high conversion efficiency can be plated on the input surface of the MCP to serve as a reflective cathode, so that the incidence of signal photons to the MCP is greatly improved, the detection efficiency is improved, the material is mostly halide such as cesium iodide, and the like, and a method for plating the reflective cesium iodide cathode on the surface of the MCP is disclosed in patent CN 209312708U, namely an X-ray framing camera frame converter tube, by adopting a halide material as a cathode conversion function film layer of the MCP, but the problems that the halide with high conversion efficiency is easy to deliquest generally, needs to be in-situ packaged in a vacuum device after the film layer plating is finished, or needs to be transferred to vacuum equipment for packaging the vacuum device in a short time after the film layer is taken out, and the problems of efficiency reduction, noise increase and the like caused by deliquescence of the halide film layer are avoided. Therefore, the application range of the MCP containing the photoelectric conversion functional film layer is very limited, the application requirement of an open type MCP device cannot be met, the performance of the finished product MCP is greatly influenced by the turnover process and the environment, and the control difficulty is high.
In terms of improving the stability of halide film materials such as cesium iodide and the like in a humid air environment, a lot of public reports are made that a PCTFE plastic film is covered on a scintillator of an X-ray detector in a patent CN 212872921U, a sealing glue is used for sealing the periphery of the PCTFE plastic film, the moisture resistance of the cesium iodide scintillator is greatly improved, the moisture resistance problem of the X-ray detector is well solved, a polymethyl methacrylate PMMA based on the cesium lead iodine photoelectric detector and a preparation method are provided on the surface of the cesium lead iodine photoelectric detector, the thickness of the protective layer is 20-50 nanometers, a waterproof film layer used in the waterproof cesium iodide scintillation screen is an organic film layer, and the waterproof cesium iodide scintillation screen is obtained, has excellent waterproof effect, improves the stability of the scintillator layer, and prolongs the service life of the scintillation screen. In addition, the prior art also tries to protect cesium iodide by using a metal aluminum film layer with the thickness of about 200nm, thicker PECVD silicon oxide and PECVD silicon nitride, and the protection effect obtained by thicker film layer thickness is still available.
In the multiple prior art designs, the provided protective film schemes can obtain good effects for cesium iodide materials serving as a transmission cathode or a scintillator, and the method cannot be applied to the reflection cathode because the too thick film layer can directly influence the escape of photoelectrons generated by the cathode materials so as to greatly influence the detection efficiency, and the poor secondary electron emission performance of the film layer materials can influence the electron multiplication function of the MCP.
