Welcome to the website of the Semiconductor Laboratory of the Max Planck Society
We develop and manufacture detectors from a single source.
Our focus is on high-energy, materials research and astrophysics
We realize a monolithic integration of electronics into the manufacturing process without compromising the detector performance
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.
