Title: Enhanced neutron detector and electron amplifier structure and a method of fabricating the enhanced neutron detector and electron amplifier structure

Abstract

An enhanced electron amplifier structure includes a substrate configured to amplify a signal of an incident particle by causing a cascade of secondary electron emissions and an enhancement layer configured to increase a sensitivity of the substrate to the incident particle. The enhancement layer is provided on an upper surface of the substrate.

Digital electron amplifier with anode readout devices and methods of fabrication

Patent Mane, Anil U.; Elam, Jeffrey W.

Scalable electron amplifier devices and methods of fabricating the devices an atomic layer deposition ("ALD") fabrication process are described. The ALD fabrication process allows for large area (e.g., eight inches by eight inches) electron amplifier devices to be produced at reduced costs compared to current fabrication processes. The ALD fabrication process allows for nanostructure functional coatings, to impart a desired electrical conductivity and electron emissivity onto low cost borosilicate glass micro-capillary arrays to form the electron amplifier devices.
