Abstract

In this paper, we present the fabrication of a thermoelectron emitter for a micro mass spectrometer. The micro mass spectrometer consists of a silicon substrate with a thermoelecton emitter and glass substrate with an acceleration electrode and a repeller electrode. The hot-filament is fabricated by electroplating. We designed two shapes of thermoelectron emitter and compared the emission current.
