Abstract

A method for measuring secondary electron emission coefficient comprising: providing a device including a first collecting plate and a second collecting plate, and measuring an injection current. Short-circuiting the first collecting plate and the second collecting plate; placing a sample and applying a 50 volt positive voltage between the sample and the first collecting plate, ISE is 0; measuring a current I1 between the sample and the first collecting plate, and ignoring IBG1; and according to formula I1=IBG1+Iothers+ISE, obtaining a current of other electrons. Applying a positive voltage between the first collecting plate and the sample; measuring a current I2 between the first collecting plate and the sample, and ignoring IBG2; and obtaining ISE formed by the secondary electrons according to formula I2=IBG2+Iothers+ISE. Obtaining the secondary electron emission coefficient according to formula
