Semiconductor technology for radiation detectors

Semiconductor radiation detectors have unique capabilities and provide superior performance in many respects over other kinds of. Typical competing technologies are those based on gas-filled instruments. The energy resolution achieved with semiconductor-based detectors is far greater to that of other technologies. Furthermore, semiconductor detectors can be efficient, compact, and rugged.  Bruker have long recognised this and utilised the technology to produce a range of robust, reliable and accurate detection instruments.

A combination of Semiconductor and IMS technology is used to allow the innovative RAID-XP portable and RAID-AFM NC stationary detectors to identify chemical and radiological hazards at the same time.
