Leading the field since 1983…
Since 1983 we have become a leading manufacturer of silicon detectors for the High Energy Physics, Space, Nuclear and Medical Research, OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) markets. We specialise in producing custom AC and DC silicon and diamond detectors
Our Core Departments
There are countless reasons why our service is better than the rest.
Nuclear
Mainly double-sided silicon microstrip detectors utilising N-Type and P-Type silicon
Nuclear
Wide range of projects including R3B/ ISOLDE/ MINOS/ HIRA/ BELLE2/ GASPARD and more recently for CLIC/ LHCb/ ATLAS
View MoreSpace
Wide range of space-qualified detectors, ranging from 9um to 1500 um thickness
Space
NASA/ ESA/ JAXA. Project examples include JUICE, HNX, SOLAR PROBE PLUS, RBSP, GOES-R for NOAA and CUBESATS
Diamond
Single-crystal detectors, offering full 12 months warranty,
Diamond
Unique properties include picosecond response times, suitable for high temperature operation, radiation hard and ultra low leakage
OEM
Mass production of standard catalogue designs, delivered at competitive prices and just in time.
OEM
Examples include silicon gamma transient detectors / proton monitors / back scattered electron detectors for electron microscopes

Most of our designs are custom-based. We do also have several ‘standard catalogue’ products which meet our customers’ requirements. Catalogue detectors generally have a range of options including dead layer window (implant/window types), metal coverage, silicon / diamond thickness and package type.
We sometimes have production overruns, creating excess stocks.

Solar Orbiter: Closest ever pictures taken of Sun with Micron's detectors board
17th July 2020New pictures of the Sun taken just 77 million km (48 million miles) from its surface are the closest ever acquired by cameras.
They come from the European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter (SolO) probe, which was launched earlier this year with Micron Semiconductor Ltd designed and built detectors.
Among the UK-assembled craft's novel insights are views of mini-flares dubbed ``camp fires``
Diamond for Fast Neutron Detection
Successful conclusion of our R&D programmeMicron Semiconductor Ltd produces Diamond with Fast Neutron Detection - Deuterium Tritium Source 14.1 MeV
