Research and Development at the Semiconductor Laboratory of the Max Planck Society

The Semiconductor Laboratory of the Max Planck Society is one of the internationally leading institutions in the development of innovative semiconductor radiation detectors. We design and manufacture customized detectors for demanding experiments in high-energy physics, materials research, and astrophysics. Research, technology, and precision go hand in hand. A particular strength is the production of defect-free double-sided silicon detectors at wafer scale.
