Silicon Surface Barrier Detectors for High-Resolution Particle Detection
Radiation Detection Measure delivers advanced silicon surface barrier detectors, engineered for accuracy, reliability, and seamless B2B integration
Silicon Surface Barrier Detector Overview
Silicon surface barrier detectors are solid-state devices designed for the precise detection and measurement of charged particles, such as alpha and beta particles, as well as low-energy X-rays. These detectors are widely used in nuclear physics, materials analysis, and radiation safety due to their excellent energy resolution, fast response, and compact form factor. By converting the energy of incoming particles directly into electrical signals, silicon surface barrier detectors enable detailed spectroscopic analysis and rapid data acquisition.
Radiation Detection Measure supports B2B clients across North America with innovative silicon surface barrier detector solutions. Our systems are trusted by research institutions, nuclear facilities, and industrial partners for their reliability, accuracy, and ease of integration. Through continuous product development, strict quality assurance, and expert guidance, we help organizations achieve superior particle detection and streamlined operations.
