New DPP2 launched
KETEK presents its new high-performance Digital Pulse Processor (DPP2). It is optimised for KETEK's VITUS-CUBE SDD series to take full advantage of the CUBE technology: Ultra-short peaking times down to 100ns and high count rate capability up to 1Mcps both with energy resolution down to [...]
VIAMP Product Portfolio expanded
A new CUBE Class has been added to the VIAMP product portfolio. With it the VIAMP OEM solution is not only available with VITUS SDDs including low-capacitance FET (Standard and Premium Class), but also with VITUS-CUBE SDDs including a new ultra-low-capacitance ASIC. This new first [...]
VITUS H150 Data Sheet published
The data sheet for the VITUS H150 SDD - the world's largest Silicon Drift Detector - has been published. It is summarising the unique performance and outstanding technical characteristics of the VITUS H150 SDD. This new detector with a collimated active area of 150mm² achieves [...]
Fastest VITUS SDD ever
KETEK presents its next SDD generation: The VITUS-CUBE series. It comes with a new ultra-low-capacitance ASIC (Cube) as first preamplification stage instead of a classical FET. With this ASIC a dramatically improved energy resolution at very short peaking times (as short as 100 ns) can [...]
World’s largest SDD
KETEK presents the world's largest Silicon Drift Detector with a collimated active area of 150mm². With typically FWHM≤133eV and P/B>15,000 it offers an excellent performance. Despite the exceptionally large active area, the Be window remains with only 25µm very thin allowing very good transmission. Also [...]
KETEK lands on Mars
On board of Mars rover Curiosity and as part of a X-ray spectrometer, KETEK’s Silicon Drift Detectors have arrived on the Red Planet. The X-ray instrument, again part of an onboard science laboratory, irradiates a rock or soil target with X-rays. The irradiation results in [...]
Low-capacitance FET for VITUS SDDs introduced
KETEK launched a next VITUS SDD generation with new low-capacitance FET leading to a significantly improved energy resolution of less than 139eV at peaking times as short as 1µs. This is a gain in FWHM of about 20eV compared to the previous VITUS SDD generation. [...]
New World Record for Silicon Drift Detectors
120.9eV MnKa energy resolution (FWHM at 5.9keV) demonstrated in an EDX microanalysis application with KETEK's latest generation 30mm² SDD in combination with an excellent carbon resolution of 46eV. The unprecedented SDD performance, close to theoretical limit, enables material imaging analysis in the nanometer regime.
