ALD MCP 116 Life Test Update • MCP 116 - 20µm pore, ANL functionalized, R = 31 MΩ • Single plate in phosphor screen detector on life test system • Pre-scrub imaging vs. voltage • Baked at 145°C for 48 hours (peak pressure 1e-4 torr, final pressure 4e-7 torr) • Post-bake imaging and “gain” vs. voltage • Start scrub 9/10/10, extracting ~140 days (~4.6 C/cm2) • Slow gain decrease (after initial drop and rise) continues • Intermediate imaging and gain vs. voltage at 0.43 C/cm2, 1.74 C/cm2, 3.05 C/cm2, and 4.07 C/cm2. • Video of flaring hot spots at 4.6 C/cm2.

Background Hot Spots • VMCP = -1400V • VScreen = +3000V • UV light off • 30 second exposure (deep) • New hot spots continue to develop • Hot spot activity seems to be sporadic, with some blinking on and off, others changing brightness • Hot spots largely associated with substrate gaps and voids. • Flaring of hot spots is the cause of spiky current observed J.

Spiky Scrub Current 1µA Video captured of flaring hotspots when active like this. Captured a scope traces of a smaller spikes, like one of these. 0 µA J. McPhate – MCP 116 Life Test Update
Current Transients • Scope snaps of small spikes captured. • Correlation between chart recorder behavior and scope traces seems to indicate larger spikes are simply more sustained behavior – rather than higher current. • Imaging and video acquired during significant outburst. • See associated video files on the blog.

Scope Trace from Small Spike J. McPhate – MCP 116 Life Test Update
Image During Outburst Mode • Previously unseen hot spot on a multi-fiber boundary • Very erratic • Very bright compared to other hot spots and the rest of the image • Video captured of this hot spot flaring • Destroyed phosphor screen during a particularly strong outbursts (caught on video).
