Ionizing Radiation Detectors
This field includes a variety of detector technologies which are manufactured in fully depleted high resistivity silicon. We are currently working on pixel, micro-strip, drift and 3D detectors.
Main activities
SRS is actively engaged in the development of Silicon Drift Detectors (SDD), a relatively recent detector built on a based on a thick, fully depleted substrate and characterized by a very low electronic noise.
3D and Active Edge Detectors make use of highly anisotropic silicon etching, made possible by the Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE), for implementing three-dimensional structures in fully-depleted silicon detectors.
We design, simulate and fabricate in house custom silicon detectors for different needs, ranging from scinentific research to industrial products.
Expertise
Basing on the 20-year long experience in the field, we can offer several proven technologies that can be considered as standard solutions for the design of ionizing-radiation detectors.
Technologies
As an exploitation of the developed technologies, we have signed several contracts with private companies for the production of custom radiation detectors.
