METHOD FOR MAKING HYBRID RADIANT ENERGY SENSOR WITH SOLID STATE ELEMENT AND TRANSFER ENERGY-SENSITIVE, ELECTRON-EMISSIVE SURFACE

摘要

A method for making a hybrid radiant energy sensor with a vacuum enclosure, an energy-sensitive electron-emissive surface, and at least one internal solid state electron multiplying element, where the energy-sensitive electron-emissive surface is formed outside the vacuum enclosure and subsequently transferred in a vacuum atmosphere into the vacuum enclosure and sealed therein, eliminating exposure of said solid state electron multiplier element to the alkali metals used in forming the energy-sensitive electron-emissive surface.
