Abstract
A process of preparing a nickel secondary electron emissive conductive cong along the interior channel walls of a microchannel plate or by continuing the process of preparing a solid nickel conductor channel to provide a conductive panel and the apparatuses resulting therefrom. The microchannel plate is positioned in a heated oven, or deposition chamber, such that heated inert gases are forced through the open channels to stabilize the channel temperature. The temperature is then lowered and a nickel compound gas is mixed with the inert gas. The gas mixture is forced through the channels to decompose the microchannel plate material and deposit a thin nickel coating on the interior channel walls. If a conductive panel is desired, the process is continued until the entire channel is completely filled with nickel.
