Intambo ye-tungsten ephothiweyo iqhele ukusetyenziswa kwizicelo ezifana nezifakeli ze-ion, iinkqubo zokubeka ivacuum, kunye neenkqubo ze-electron beam kushishino lwesemiconductor.Ezi zinto zokufudumeza zibonelela ngokugqwesileyo kozinzo lobushushu obuphezulu, uxinzelelo lomphunga ophantsi kunye neempawu ezinamandla zoomatshini, zibenza balungele ukusetyenzwa kwe-semiconductor.Xa kuthengwa ucingo lwe-tungsten oludityanisiweyo kwishishini le-semiconductor, kubalulekile ukuqwalasela izinto ezinje ngedayamitha yefilament, ubude, i-pitch, ukugqitywa komphezulu kunye neempawu ezishushu.
