Wall Forum

  • Date: Nov 27, 2024
  • Time: 03:30 PM - 04:30 PM (Local Time Germany)
  • Speaker: Jelena Ninkovic
  • Semiconductor Laboratory of the Max Planck Society
  • Location: D3 Seminar room / Zoom room 1
  • Host: IPP
This talk offers a comprehensive overview of the advancements in precision radiation detectors developed at the Semiconductor Laboratory of the Max Planck Society. The laboratory is at the forefront of pushing scientific boundaries by providing sensors for cutting-edge research projects. Its primary focus is the development of commercially unavailable silicon sensors tailored for a variety of scientific applications.

The sensor technology is specifically designed to meet the stringent requirements of semiconductor radiation detectors, enabling the production of wafer-sized, defect-free, double-sided detectors on ultrapure silicon. Three key device types developed at the laboratory (SDDs, pnCCDs, and DEPFETs) will be detailed, along with an introduction to the low-gain avalanche device, MARTHA.

Additionally, the talk will showcase examples of developed and planned detector systems for selected applications, including high-energy particle physics (BELLE II), astrophysics (eROSITA, BepiColombo, and ATHENA), material science (EDET and FSP TNG), and synchrotron beamline instrumentation (LCLS, XFEL). Future perspectives of these sensor concepts will also be discussed.
