X-ray source performance plays a decisive role in industrial non-destructive imaging and medical radiographic imaging in order to obtain images with good contrast and resolution.
In the prior art, a thermionic emitter that emits electrons at a high temperature using a filament was used as an electron source of an X-ray source, that is, an electron emitter. However, since the thermoelectromotive emitter has to be raised to a temperature higher than 1000 degrees for electron emission, the power consumption is relatively large and the emitter can not be turned on and off instantly.
In order to improve this, a field emitter type emitter which emits electrons by using quantum mechanical tunneling by an electric field is widely used.
