1 Advances in microchannel plate detectors for UV/visible Astronomy Dr. O.H.W. Siegmund Space Sciences Laboratory, U.C. Berkeley Advances in:- Photocathodes (GaN, Diamond, GaAs) Microchannel plates (Silicon MCP s) Readouts (Cross strip) Are changing the tools and performance of photon counting imaging detectors available for future UV missions achieving better QE, lower background, higher resolution, better uniformity, linearity and better lifetimes. Work funded by NASA grants, NAG5-8667, NAG , NAG
2 EUV Photocathodes,, 100Å Å Alkali Halide UV Photocathodes have improved substantially as a result of better fabrication techniques and geometrical optimization QDE CsI CsI CsI #3 2/99 20 CsI #3 2/99 30 CsI #2 1/99 20 CsI #2 1/99 30 Quantum Efficiency 0.1 CsI KI KBr Wavelength (Å) Opaque Alkali Halide Photocathodes - MCP substrate Wavelength (A) Opaque Alkali Halide Photocathodes - metal substrate 2
3 EUV Photocathodes,, 100Å Å Diamond Photocathodes on Silicon and Si MCP s Polycrystalline boron doped diamond, band gap ev (227 nm) - Solar blind. Hydrogenated and cesiated diamond exhibit NEA. Cathodes are air stable (<10% drop in 18 hours)and are very mechanically robust. Can be ultrasonic cleaned in water and alcohol. Re-hydrogenation restores QE. 1 Diamond coated Silicon MCP 0.1 Diamond photocathode UV efficiency QDE # #1 #5 # Si MCP Pre-hydrogenated values Wavelength (Å) Diamond Photocathodes on Silicon and Si MCP s 3
4 EUV Photocathodes,, 100Å Å Diamond cathodes have been grown on Si MCP s,, appropriately for EUV sensors Activation of diamond indicates that very high EUV DQE s are possible sible Diamond Photocathode on Silicon MCP (Nanosciences) At smaller incidence angles than 90 the QE improves significantly for planar layers 4
5 GaN Photocathodes,, Å Potentially high UV QE and cutoffs from 350nm to 450nm Basic strategy is to achieve NEA using Cs activation. Material, cleaning & activation processes all under study. Working with Northwestern U. (Ulmer, Wessels). 1 T samples processed by Nanosciences 2003 Quantum Detection Efficiency Early GaN photocathode comparisons [Ulmer 2001] Wavelength (nm) Opaque GaN photocathodes on Sapphire UCB supplied samples, Nanosciences processing 5
6 GaN UV Photocathodes,, Å 1 JG238/T/TT samples 2003 Ulmer et al 2001 GaN Opaque Photocathodes First tests showed poor QE with Cs activation - except at short wavelength. Quantum Detection Efficiency Early sealed tube, MgF 2 window JG238 early attempt Initial sealed photodiode tubes were slightly better, and showed no degradation over > 6 months. Improvements in processing have improved the QE substantially. Cutoff is quite sharp at nm. 390nm. As NEA improves the longer wavelength QE and enhances the cutoff characteristics Wavelength (nm) Development of opaque GaN photocathodes on sapphire substrates, with Cs activation ~40% QE for < 250nm is significantly better than CsI or CsTe,, and shows promise for further >250nm improvements. 6
7 GaAs Visible and NIR Photocathodes GaAs has high visible/nir QE (50%), and noise is 10 events/sec at -20 C. Can adjust bandpass blue end response. Photon counting with time response ~1ns. No cosmic ray background effects. Can combine with high spatial resolution large area imaging MCP readouts. Astronomy - interferometry, time resolved spectroscopy and imaging.

8 Silicon MCP Developments Hexagonal pore Si MCP with ~7µm pores, >75% open area Silicon MCP s Silicon MCP s are made by photo-lithographic methods Photolithographic etch process - very uniform pore pattern No multifiber boundaries & array distortions of glass MCP s Large substrate sizes (100mm) OK, with small pores (5µm) High temperature tolerance - CVD and hot processes OK UHV compatible, low background (No radioactivity) Development in collaboration with Nanosciences.

9 Silicon MCP Performance Characteristics Many Si MCP s of 25mm diameter with ~7µm pores have been tested The performance is improving as production is being refined. Gain is similar to glass MCP s. Open area ratio is up to >75% for hexagonal pores Gain decrease during scrub is smaller and faster than glass MCP s Gain 1.00E E E E E+01 Si 208 CVD CVD107-5 CVD106-1 CVD120-2 CVD114-1-c CVD122-2 CVD122-4 CVD122-4-BEO CVD134-1 CVD134-4 CVD139-2 CVD139-4 ITT Glass MCP CVD169-3 Glass MCP 1.00E Voltage (V) Gain evolution of single Si MCP s MCP gain as a function of extracted charge, for one Si MCP. 9
