Validation of radiation detector manufacturing from 4-inch- to 8-inch wafer technology
Project duration: August 26, 2026 – February 28, 2027
HZDR Innovation GmbH is continuing to develop the manufacturing technology for Passivated Implanted Planar Silicon (PIPS) detectors. These semiconductor detectors for detecting ionizing radiation are currently being manufactured in small batches on 4-inch silicon wafers. The goal of the funded project is to transfer the technology to an 8-inch process line. This is intended to improve production throughput, reproducibility, and scalability, while also reducing energy consumption. This will lay the groundwork for more efficient and economically scalable production.
