Claim 8:
9. A method for fabricating a vacuum electron device, the method comprising:
forming a first planar non-magnetic conductor plate from a non-magnetic electrically conductive material;
forming a second planar non-magnetic conductor plate from a non-magnetic electrically conductive material;
forming an interaction structure from a plurality of electrically conductive non-magnetic interaction structure forming plates arranged in parallel with one another so that the interaction structure contains an electron beam tunnel, the interaction structure contain at least one electrostatic lens element having at least one electrically conductive path to an exterior of the interaction structure, the electrically conductive path electrically insulated from the interaction structure so that a voltage applied to the electrically conductive path will be conducted to the electrostatic lens element;
disposing the first planar non-magnetic conductor plate, the interaction structure, and the second planar non-magnetic conductor plate in a stack such that the first planar non-magnetic conductor plate and the second planar non-magnetic conductor plate are on the outside of the stack;
bonding the first planar non-magnetic conductor plate, the interaction structure, and the second planar non-magnetic conductor plate together; and
surrounding the electron beam tunnel region with at least one magnet arranged to confine an electron beam within the electron beam tunnel.
