Show Me HowShow Me How

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

1

Design

Silicon Particle Detectors and Photodiodes are individually designed for each customer requirement and are characterised for the specific application.
2

Processing

Strict internal quality controls are followed to ensure high quality standards are maintained at all times. Wafers and detectors are fully processed in house for maximum control. The company is registered against the provisions of BS EN ISO 9001:2008.
3

Assembly and Testing

The Assembly and Testing of all products are documented in the form of Company Drawings, Procedures and Work Instructions with full traceability at all stages.

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.
