Large X-ray Detectors for Coloured X-ray Imaging (LACX)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2012,

"This proposal addresses the development of large x-ray detectors combined with photon counting read-out electronics to provide information on the energy of the absorbed x-ray photons that will help doctors improve their diagnosis and could lead to a reduction of radiation for patients. The requirements for such X-ray detectors can only be met by semiconductor detectors. They provide high efficie ...

"The proposal concerns the technology development for instruments with the following capabilities: (a) To make spectroscopic measurements with efficiency equivalent to that of NaI detectors and energy resolution close to that of HPGe devices but without using cryogenic systems. (b) To find the direction and the distance of the radioactive source. (c) To localize the source into a cargo and estim ...

Investigation of Si wafer damage in manufacturing processes (SIDAM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

Wafer handling in semiconductor manufacturing introduces microcracks at the wafer edge. During thermal processing, some of these grow into slip bands; on rapid thermal processing some of these grow into cracks, shattering the wafer and disrupting manufacture. Dense slip bands also lead to yield loss by locally increasing diffusion rates. Breakage losses alone were of the order of €2.5M p.a. for a ...
