High Energy Electron Diffraction (HEED) techniques provide a qualitative indication of the crystalline structure of epitaxial layers. The Model 06-190 HEED gun with the Model 20-330 Electron Gun Control and Model 425-24 HEED Screen provide a focused beam of electrons to produce structural information. The electrons impinge the sample at a shallow angle. Electrons diffracted by atoms in the first few atomic layers of the sample surface produce a pattern on a phosphor screen. The phosphor screen assembly fits inside a glass viewport (available separately).
The HEED Electron Gun Control consists of four interconnected power supplies that provide lens and filament power for the electron gun. All of the supplies are adjustable using ten-turn potentiometers mounted on the front panel. An analog meter on the front panel displays the emission and filament currents. In addition to the high voltage supplies the HEED control also supplies power to a non-scanning quadropole deflection system for beam steering. The quadropole supply provides an X and Y axis output adjustable by front panel ten-turn potentiometers. An instruction manual is included.
