Silicon Lithium X-Ray Detectors are the heart of solid state x-ray spectroscopy systems. These detectors, which are p-i-n devices formed by lithium compensation or drifting of p-type silicon, are the result of some of the most carefully controlled manufacturing processes in existence. These detectors are fabricated to exacting quality standards, which is essential in ensuring a product of high performance and excellent long term reliability.
The Si(Li) x-ray detector is an integral part of a detector system which includes a liquid nitrogen cryostat and a low noise Integrated Transistor Reset Preamplifier (I-TRP).
