Unlimited Silicon Drift Detector Areas
For customized configuration of large area detector arrays
100 mm² VITUS SDD
Slim-line Component
For applications with special space contraints KETEK has developed the unique slim-line component.
Making use of the hexagonal detector shape, this slim-line setup allows the configuration of multi element detector arrays to achieve detection areas never realized before.
KETEK is always pleased to configure custom designed detector arrays by using this slim-line component.
- The optimal component for large arrays
- Easy to handle
- Attainable energy resolution 180 eV (at -35°C)
- Active area 100 mm²
- Fill factor of approx. 0.75
- High count rate capability up to 106 cps
- Outstanding count rate and long-term stability
- Integrated TEC and temperature monitor
- Excellent radiation hardness
Large-area Customized VITUS SDD Arrays
The picture shows a detector array assembled by 6 single 100 mm² VITUS SDD slim-line components. While a 7th detector component can be easily added in the centre to achieve an even larger detection area, the centre hole can also be used for passing a capillary or an x-ray or ion beam.
The separate single cell components prevent any kind of crosstalk betrween the individual detectors. Additionally, if a cell should fail, a relatively cheap and convenient exchange of a single detector is possible. Also available from KETEK is the complete front-end electronics for such arrays.
- Highly flexible modular configuration
- Easy exchange of single cells
- Excellent fill factor of approx. 0.75
- Only 6 channels for 600 mm² active area
- No crosstalk between channels
- High count rate and long-term stability
- Most reasonable price for large area arrays
