The use of an electron beam enables not only observation of the submicron world (TEM?s SEM?s and X-ray microanalysers) but also processing with submicron precision (electron beam lithography systems). The optimum cathode material for use in these instruments would possess the following properties:
The relative drawbacks of tungsten cathodes are a work function of 4.7eV, insufficient beam current, and a short service life. LaB6 has a work function of 2.66eV ? thus more easily emitting electrons ? and is a relatively stable material, so it has been increasingly used as a material for cathodes instead of tungsten. Using LaB6 cathodes with TEMs and SEMs, even with the electron beam narrowed down, it is possible to obtain enough beam current to achieve better resolution and clear micrographs with less noise. The principle advantage, however, is that LaB6 can be used in a stable condition for a much longer time. Denka manufactures the purest, highest quality LaB6 crystals for use in their cathode tips.
