Abstract:
It is difficult to perform surface modification by irradiating a side surface of a hole formed on an irradiated object with a low-energy-density electron beam. An irradiated object having an irradiation hole formed thereon is disposed in a vacuum chamber. A cathode electrode is arranged to face a side surface of the irradiation hole. The cathode electrode has a large number of metal projections over an entire surface of a base body, the base body facing at least the side surface of the irradiation hole. A conductive mesh is arranged between the cathode electrode and the side surface of the irradiation hole. The conductive mesh partially contacts the irradiated object and is set to have the same potential as the irradiated object.

Claim (Index 1):
An electron beam surface modification apparatus, comprising:\n a cathode electrode, having a plurality of metal projections over an entire surface of a base body, the base body facing at least a side surface of an irradiation hole, the irradiation hole being formed on an irradiated object disposed in a vacuum chamber; and a conductive mesh, being arranged at least between the cathode electrode and the side surface of the irradiation hole, the conductive mesh partially contacting the irradiated object and being set to have a same potential as the irradiated object.
