Detector CdZnTe
Due2lab designs and realizes state-of-the-art CdZnTe detectors and develops custom solutions targeted on customers needs.
Thanks to the skills acquired as supplier for research institutions and for industrial costumers, Due2lab is nowadays a reliable provider of CZT-based radiation sensors. Due2lab sells its sensors not only to academic laboratories , but also to various companies interested in using X-ray technology for non-destructive testing.
All sensors are manufactured and tested at Due2lab by highly qualified personnel. The products are supplied with a characterization sheet and a certificate of conformity.

DUE2LAB TECHNOLOGIES AND PROCESSES
Due2lab can provide several technologies and processes related to manufacturing and characterization of CdZnTe. This set of skills allows due2lab to face and solve technical challenges of its customers thanks to tailor-made solutions.
We create 3D maps of Tellurium inclusions using infrared microscopy
We manufacture custom sensors in small number series
We cut CdZnTe crystal to realize sensors of different shape and size
We lap and polish CdZnTe crystals to obtain surfaces with exceptionally low roughness
We passivate our detectors by depositing resistive oxides to obtain extremely low surface currents
We deposit extremely robust gold contact by means of chemical bath deposition
We deposit different metal contacts with various deposition techniques
We deposit complex multi-layer layers on the CdZnTe surface
In addition to standard geometries, we can make any type of custom sensor
We create patterned contacts on both sides of the sensor, through a double step photolithographic process
We electrically characterize our sensors to verify compliance with the specifications
We create the packaging of the sensors by designing it according to customer needs
We make detector stacks
We provide assistance for repairing sensors that are no longer functional or that are damaged
We carry out low temperature electrical connections even on very small electrodes (<100 um)
We automatically inspect our detectors to verify the quality of the electrodes
