The impact of beam 106 with the extractor 108 at area 110 induces the emission of secondary electrons SEs 160.Although the voltage difference between the tip 103 and the extractor 108 mostly creates an electric field in the proximity of the tip 103enough residual electric field remains near area 110 that secondary electrons 160 which have low energy are attracted back to the extractor 108 as shown by the curved trajectories in FIG.1.The impact of beam 106 with the extractor at area 110 also induces backscattered electron BSE emission 130the majority of the BSEs have nearly the same energy as the impacting electrons from beam 106 thus the small electric field at area 110 cannot prevent the escape of BSEs 130 into the overall volume of the electron gun as shown.Some BSEs 130 travel to regions of the gun far enough away from tip 103 to cause no obvious effects on source operation.BSE 132 can be seen striking surface 136 desorbing a gas molecule 134 which may travel towards the emitter tip 103 potentially inducing sputter damage to the structure of tip 103 or adsorbing onto tip 103.On the other side of tip 103 BSE 142 desorbs and ionizes molecule 144 from surface 138 to travel towards the tip 103due to the negative bias voltage on tip 103 ion 144 will be accelerated towards tip 103 potentially causing sputter damage to the local tip structure near the point of impact of ion 144 with tip 103.Note that surfaces 136 and 138 represent any surfaces within the electron gun which are not cleaned i.e.from which adsorbed molecules have not been desorbed prior to initiation of cold field emission from tip 103surfaces 136 and 138 are shown closer to tip 103 than would generally be the case in an actual source.In the prior art it has been found to be difficult to find means for completely cleaning all surfaces within electron guns which may be exposed to BSEs.Polarizable gas molecules 150 may be attracted to and adsorbed onto the tip 103 by the local electric field gradient changing the work function and thus causing variations in the emission currents.The impact of beam 106 with the extractor 108 can also desorb gas molecules 182 from area 110 of extractor 108these molecules 182 may subsequently adsorb on the emitter tip 103 usually increasing the local work function and thus reducing the cold field emission current.Gas molecule 184 is ionized by an electron 186 from beam 106 and is then attracted to the negativelybiased tip 103 as was the case for ion 144.In some cases sputtering damage to the tip 103 may create locally very sharp regions which will demonstrate increased field emissionthis effect may cause a catastrophic momentary increase in the emission current possibly leading to arcing and subsequent destruction of the emitter tip 103.
