1. A vacuum electron device, comprising:
a first non-magnetic conductor plate having a first external surface and a first internal surface;
a second non-magnetic conductor plate having a second external surface and an second internal surface; and
a plurality of non-magnetic interaction structure forming plates disposed between the first internal surface of the first non-magnetic conductor plate and the second internal surface of the second non-magnetic conductor plate, the plurality of non-magnetic interaction structure forming plates together forming a radio-frequency (RF) interaction structure housing an RF interaction region for transmitting an electron beam,
the first non-magnetic conductor plate, the second non-magnetic conductor plate and the plurality of non-magnetic interaction structure forming plates being bonded together.
