Silicon Lithium Si(Li) detectors have a place in the market for x-ray applications next to Silicon Drifted Detectors (SDDs), such as our X-PIPS™ detectors, and low-energy germanium (LEGe™ and Ultra-LEGe™) detectors.
Silicon Lithium X-Ray Detectors are the heart of solid state x-ray spectroscopy systems. These detectors, which are p-i-n devices formed by lithium compensation or drifting of p-type silicon, are the result of some of the most carefully controlled manufacturing processes in existence.
Lithium drifted Silicon detectors to address the need for better detection efficiency for high energy charged particles.
