Abstract
Abstract An electron beam irradiation apparatus comprising an electron beam source which is capable of generating an electron beam and irradiating in one direction, a first magnet member having a through hole and being disposed to allow the electron beam irradiated from said electron beam source to pass therethrough, a second magnet member which is disposed opposing to the first magnet member through a gap which allows a target to pass therethrough and has the polarity different from that of the first magnet member, a target supporting/shifting means which allows the target to pass through said gap and cooling means which cools said both magnet members. A base material coated with a paste of magnetic particles is used as the target and vertical orientation of the magnetic particles and hardening of the paste can be simultaneously conducted.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
192 words
An electron beam irradiation appartus for simultaneously (a) irradiating a target comprising a substrate and magnetic particles with an electron beam and (b) orienting the axis of easy magnetization of the magnetic particles in a direction perpendicular to the substrate, said apparatus comprising an electron beam source which is capable of generating an electron beam and irradiating it in one direction, a first magnet member having a through hole and being disposed to allow the electron beam irradiated from said electron beam source to pass therethrough to the target, means for maintaining the through hole under vacuum, a second magnet member which is disposed opposite the first magnet member across a gap which allows the target to pass therethrough and which second magnet member has a polarity different from that of the first magnet member, the two magnet members coacting to produce a magnetic field in the gap, a target supporting/shifting means which allows the target to pass through said gap perpendicular to the flux of the magnetic field, and cooling means which cools both magnet members, the gap between the first and second magnet members being from 5 to 100 millimeters.
