This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I Project will investigate a novel low capacitance design of high purity silicon detectors that offer high-energy resolution, high efficiency, high count-rate operation and straightforward fabrication. By maintaining a low capacitance, the new detectors can reach greater volumes than previously achievable with standard Si (Li) detectors. The research plan requires a combination of device modeling, prototype fabrication and extensive testing, with a goal of producing the largest high purity silicon detectors to date. Collaboration with a manufacturer on this project will bring great expediency to the work plan and provide an immediate pathway to commercialization.The detectors will find great use in a multitude of settings - industrial and academic research labs, portable instrumentation, and large-scale scientific research. Given the many diverse areas that employ x-ray characterization, the detectors will be found in fields such as materials analysis, astronomy, medicine, structural biology, nuclear physics and environmental monitoring.

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目将研究一种新型的高纯度硅探测器的低电容设计，提供高能量分辨率，高效率，高计数率操作和简单的制造。通过保持低电容，新探测器可以达到比以前标准Si（Li）探测器更大的体积。该研究计划需要结合器件建模、原型制造和广泛的测试，目标是生产迄今为止最大的高纯硅探测器。与制造商在该项目上的合作将为工作计划带来极大的便利，并为商业化提供直接途径。探测器将在众多环境中找到巨大的用途-工业和学术研究实验室，便携式仪器和大规模科学研究。鉴于采用X射线表征的许多不同领域，探测器将在材料分析，天文学，医学，结构生物学，核物理和环境监测等领域中找到。
