Surface Potential Measurement of Dielectric Materials Using Metal Probe in Secondary Electron Emission Process
To study measurement methods and relevant rules of the surface potential in the process of secondary electron emission of dielectric materials
this paper proposes a new in situ online method for the measurement of the surface potential of insulating samples based on the fact that electric field will affect the secondary electron emission
and we call it probe method. Firstly
the principle of the probe method is studied by using a professional electromagnetic simulation software. The potential distribution near the probe and the influence of probe bias on the secondary electron emission coefficient are calculated. Then the probe bias at the knee of the curve is considered as the surface potential of the dielectric sample. Secondly
experiments are carried out with copper samples
and the feasibility of the probe method for measuring the surface potential of the samples is verified. Finally
the probe method is applied to the dielectric material polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA)to measure its surface potential. The results show that the grid bias voltage and the incident electron energy have direct influences on the surface potential of PMMA. The surface potential of PMMA is higher than the grid bias and they are in a linear relationship. With the increase of the incident electron energy
the surface potential of PMMA increases first and then decreases. This is consistent with the theoretical analysis
which further validates the feasibility of the probe method in measuring the surface potential of dielectric materials. This method is easy to operate and low in cost
and can realize in situ online measurement to reduce the instability in the experiment
therefore it is applicable to the study of the secondary electron emission of dielectric materials.
