PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE OF MICROCHANNEL PLATE Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: microelectronics, manufacture of microchannel plates with bent channels. SUBSTANCE: plate with straight channels of preset thickness produced by cutting from sintered unit of multicore light guides is heated to temperature at which glass is in state between viscous and elastic. Bent channels are formed by plate rolling through rolls of different diameter having relation of smaller diameter D1 to bigger one D2 as D1/D2=0.8-0.9. Then plate is cooled in furnace to temperature 100-150 C. EFFECT: enhanced adaptability and productivity of process, reduced labor input, high-quality of manufactured articles. 1 dwg
