Workshop „Future Technologies for Radiation Detectors”

7. March 2018/in Analytics, Events, Packaging, Silicon Detectors

For the 3rd time, the international workshop “Future of Silicon Detector Technologies” focused on technologies and devices for the development and production of radiation detectors. The focus was also on future research priorities in order to be able to manufacture sensors with extremely high radiation hardness with long-term stability and at low cost. In particular, the new experiments at CERN and at the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (Society for Heavy Ion Research) in Darmstadt require this radiation hardness in addition to other technical parameters

With thin pixel radiation detectors close to the collision point

29. April 2016/in Silicon Detectors, Waferprocessing

The CiS Research Institute has developed large-area radiation detectors whose sensitive area is thinned down to the thickness of a normal sheet of paper. During processing, it was possible to dispense with the use of additional handling wafers, which is still common practice in industrial production today

Highly stable temperature diodes with single-point calibration for the temperature range up to 220°C

25. April 2016/in Silicon Detectors, Waferprocessing

At the CiS Research Institute, technological processes for silicon wafers were developed with which a reproducible sensitivity dU/dT, i.e. the slope of the voltage versus temperature, could be achieved

“STREAM” – New EU project launched at CiS

25. January 2016/in Events, Jobs, Silicon Detectors

On 18 January 2016, the launch event for a new research project with 11 European partners from Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Austria, Italy, Norway and France took place at CERN. STREAM stands for “Smart Sensor Technologies and Training for Radiation Enhanced Applications and Measurements” and is funded by the EU with 3.9 million euros

Highly stable temperature diodes with single-point calibration for the temperature range up to 220°C

9. November 2015/in Silicon Detectors, Waferprocessing

At the CiS Research Institute, technological processes for silicon wafers have been developed, with which a reproducible sensitivity dU/dT, i.e. the slope of the voltage versus temperature, could be achieved

Pixel detectors for particle and astrophysics – Development and production of particularly radiation-hard particle detectors

7. April 2014/in Silicon Detectors

Since 1996, CiS has developed various technologies and detectors for tracking particles in large-scale experiments, especially ATLAS, CMS and ALICE at CERN, CMB at GSI / FAIR and DESY

Multifunctional Si detectors – new platform of the KD OptiMi

23. January 2014/in MOEMS, Silicon Detectors

The competence triangle “Optical Microsystems” (KD OptiMi), located in the Jena – Ilmenau – Erfurt region, has distinguished itself as an outstanding centre for the innovative combination of optical technologies and microsystems technology within the framework of the funding programme “Top-level Research and Innovations in the New States”

What comes after the Higgs boson? – The FAIR experiment as a new challenge for CiS

10. October 2013/in Medical technology, Silicon Detectors, Simulation & Design

The search for the Higgs boson is one of the most important tasks of the world’s largest particle accelerator, the LHC, which went into operation in 2008. This is because the Higgs boson was considered the last piece of the puzzle in the established Standard Model of particle physics. When the Higgs boson was discovered at CERN, detectors from the CiS Research Institute were also involved. These radiation detectors are robust enough to withstand the extreme radiation loads in the immediate vicinity of the collision point (4-20 cm), i.e. inside the detection instruments

Advanced UV for Life

22. July 2013/in Medical technology, MOEMS, Silicon Detectors, UV

“Advanced UV for Life” – this is the name of the consortium that will open up innovative applications of UV light in medicine, water treatment, production technology and sensor technology in the future. The interdisciplinary consortium of 8 research institutions and 14 industrial companies is one of the 10 winners in the Twenty20 competition, which is part of the high-tech strategy of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). This was announced by Federal Minister Johanna Wanka at a press conference

Innovations from Thuringia – Silicon-based radiation detectors in search of dark matter

9. April 2013/in Silicon Detectors

After the discovery of the Higgs elementary particle in 2012, CERN researchers are snatching more secrets from space. With radiation detectors from the CiS Research Institute, new clues have been discovered in the search for dark matter. Scientists and engineers at CiS Forschungsinstitut für Mikrosensorik und Photovoltaik GmbH work in Erfurt on highly specialized silicon detectors for the international nuclear research elite at CERN (Geneva)
