Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021037481A1] The invention relates to an electron source (2) for generating an electron beam (8), comprising a cathode (1) and an anode (4) in the form of a graphene layer (6, 12) which is epitaxially grown with a silicon carbide substrate (5). The invention is suitable for the monolithic production of a miniaturized source of a focused high-energy electron beam, including for the use thereof as an on-chip X-ray source. All components can be produced from or on a single silicon carbide chip.
