Claims priority, application Great Britain February 15, 1955 6 Claims. (Cl. 31365) The present invention relates to photo-sensitive devices employing a layer of photo-conductive material and to an improved method of forming such layers.
A very important factor of photo-conductive devices such as television pick-up tubes is the photo-conductive lag of the photo-conductive layer and such lag depends to a large extent on the constitution and the thickness of this layer.
It is often desirable to include in such devices an electrode formed of a metal which is chosen for its mechanical and electrical properties, such as one of the alloys known under the trade names of Eureka or Constantan said alloys comprising approximately 60 percent copper and approximately 40 percent nickel. These alloys will re-act with photo-conductive materials such as antimony trisulphide so that when employed in such devices it is difficult to estimate the amount of photo-conductive material which will be required to repeatedly produce tubes having layers of the same constitution and thickness.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to reduce interaction between an electrode of a photo-conductive tube and the photo-conductive material employed therein whereby the constancy of the thickness of the photo-conductive layer of the target electrode of the tube can be improved.
According to the invention there is provided a photosensitive device having a target comprising a continuous layer of photo-conductive material, a tubular electrode composed of a metal which reacts with the photo-conductive material of said layer mounted adjacent to said layer, and a coating of a material which is substantially inert to said photo-conductive material provided on at least a portion of the inner wall of said electrode.
In order that the invention may be clearly understood and readily carried into effect, an embodiment of same will now be more fully described with reference to the accompanying drawing which shows in Figure 1 the invention applied to the formation of a photo-conductive layer for a television pick-up tube, Figure 2 being a portion of the target of the tube of Figure 1 on a much larger scale. The particular pick-up tube shown is one which is suitable for operation with a low velocity scanning beam to restore the scanned surface of the photo-conductive layer to a potential at or near that of the cathode of the tube. For the purpose of illustration the tube shown in the drawing is one having a photo-sensitive layer formed as a double layer of photo-conductive material, the first layer being of a porous or spongy nature and the second layer being of a solid nature. The method of forming devices having such layers is more fully described in the specification of co-pending application Serial No. 563,800 and for this reason only a brief mention of it will be made in the present application.
Referring to the drawing, the inner surface of a planar glass window 1 closes one end of a glass envelope 2 and is provided with a target electrode comprising a translucent electrically conducting signal electrode 3 having a first layer 4 of a photo-conducting material deposited in porous form and thereover a second layer 5 of a photoconductive material deposited in solid form. At the opposite end of the envelope 2 there is provided an electron gun with its thermionic cathode 6 facing the target and between the gun and target a tubular electrode 7 serving in operation of the tube as an anode having its end adjacent to the target covered with a mesh 8 preferably formed of silver and which in operation of the tube serves as an ion trap. It will be recognized that the device shown in Figure 1 is of the Vidicon type and as it usual with such a device the envelope 1 when the device is set up for operation will be surrounded with a suitable coil for electro-magnetically focussing the electron beam from the gun into a well defined beam and further coils for scanning said beam over the surface of the layer 5 of the target. Alignment coils may also be provided in known manner for suitably directing the electron beam towards the target.
.The materials available for the construction of the tubular anode 7 so as to provide a strong mechanical structure having a sufliciently high resistivity so that it will not unduly screen the penetration of the scanning fields for the electron beam are limited and the most suitable materials known for this purpose are alloys comprising approximately 60 percent copper with approximately 40 percent nickel such as those known as Constantan and Eureka wherein the metal employed is of 0.002 inch thickness, although other alloys such as stainless steel or Nichrome are used.
In constructing the tube the above-mentioned gun and electrodes 7, 8 are assembled in the envelope 2 and a tantalum boat 9 containing a charge of photo-conductive material 10 such as antimony trisulphide is introduced through a side tube 11 so that it is at the centre of the envelope 2 and facing the mesh 8 and target area. The envelope 2 is filled with a gas such as xenon through pump stem 12 at a pressure of approximately 0.4 mm. Hg and with the end of the side tube 11 remote from the envelope 1 closed the boat 9 is heated so that the whole of the charge is evaporated. The antimony trisulphide is thus deposited through the mesh 8 to form the spongy base layer 4 over the target area. During this evaporation only part of the evaporated charge deposits on the target area, part of it being deposited on the bars of the mesh 8 and the remainder on the inside surface of the tubular electrode 7 over a band about 1 inch wide approximately symmetrical to the plane of the evaporator boat 9 and normal to the axis of the tube. The boat 9 is moved into the side tube 11 and this tube 11 is sealed off close to the wall of the envelope 2. The envelope 2 is evacuated via pump stem 12 after which the electrode 7 and mesh 8 are inductively heated so as to re-evaporate the material from the electrode 7 and mesh 8 to deposit it as a solid layer 5 over the spongy base layer 4. During this latter evaporation the target surface is maintained cool by applying water to the outer surface of the window portion 1 of the envelope 2.
The thickness of the spongy layer 4 is determined by the amount of the original charge of material 10 in the evaporator boat 9, the shadow ratio of the mesh 8 and the gas pressure and this can be reasonably calculated in order to obtain a desired low capacitance for such layer.
The thickness and construction of the solid layer 5 will thus depend on the amount of material which is deposited on the bars of the mesh 8 and the inner surface of the electrode 7, but despite carefully controlled processing it is found that the thickness of this second solid layer 5 will vary from tube to tube with consequent variations in the sensitivity of the tubes.
This is attributed to the fact that during heating of the mesh 8 and electrode 7 the photo-conductive material reacts to some extent with the metal from which the electrode 7 isformed whereby only a proportion of the photo-conductive materialisevaporated to form the solid layer 5 on the target.
It has been found that this reaction can be substantially prevented if the surface of the electrode on to .which photorconductive material is depositedis first provided with a coating of a material ,13 which is .inert to the .photorconductive material employed in the tube. Tubes madesin this mannerrhave been found to have .a uniform layerthiekness and uniform sensitivities.
.In atubeinwhich the photo-conductive material '10 is antimony trisulphide, sufficient protection is afforded by coating, such as by plating, the internal surface of the electrode 7 with rhodium. Other metals such as gold, platinum, oriridium which are known to be substantially inertto photo-'conductir e materials such as antimony trisulp'hide or selenium are also satisfactory for this purpose.
.The dimensionsfor an electrode 7 which is typical for a tube of the above construction is 0.8 inch diameter and three inchesinlength and it is found that adequate protectionzis alfordedif the inner wall of this cylinder is plated with one of the above protecting metals over a length of 2 /2 inches from the end thereof .to which is secured the mesh 8.
Although the invention has been described with reference to the production of tubes having a double layer .4, 5 of antimony trisulphide as the photo-conductive material ,for the target electrode it is also applicable to tubes employing only a single layer of antimony trisulphide or other photo-conductive materials such as selenium, cadmium sulphide, zinc sulphide, zinc selenide.
Further, although-the invention has beendescribed as applied to the construction of pick-up tubes suitable for operationwithlow velocity scanning, it is applicable to pick-up tubes with .high .velocity scanning and generally to devices having a photo-sensitive layer of-photo-conductivematerial in which an electrode is provided which requires to be protected against the action of thephotoconductive material employed in theconstructionof the device.
