KETEK’s New Company and Product Brochure is now online
Take a look into our KETEK Brochure with information about more than 30 years of Creative Detector Solutions.
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.
Foundation of Centre for Microsystemintegration Munich (CMM)
Fraunhofer-Einrichtung für Modulare Festkörper-Technologien (EMFT), Siemens AG, LFoundry GmbH, KETEK GmbH and SÜSS MicroTec AG announced the foundation of a Centre for Microsystemintegration Munich (CMM). The well-established partners offer a broad expertise in technology and product development in the area of micro systems, which represent [...]
