Eurorad - Silicon Detectors
Our silicon detectors are manufactured by the most advanced technology. The starting materials are choosen in order to obtain the best results for a given application.
Silicon detectors for radiation dosimetry:
- Different sizes (7 to 100 mm2) are available, all delivered with correcting filters in order to reach a flat dose response to energy. X, Gamma or Beta-ray detectors are also available.
Hardened silicon detectors for current mode operation:
These 3.0 x 3.0 mm2 detectors give a constant current under radiation, when in excess of an accumulated dose of 10 KGy of gammas or fast electrons. These diodes can be used for very high dose measurements or associated in arrays for imaging applications.
Silicon detectors for X-ray spectrometry:
Due to the absorption coefficient of X-rays in silicon (Z=14), the application domain is, in practice, limited to energies below 60 keV. The achieved performance of these devices depends on the size of the detector (5 to 100 mm2). At room temperature, the best energy resolution achieved is around 1 keV (for 6 keV gammas)
