About the Advanced Detector Centre
The ADC is composed of five academic research groups. These focus on semiconductor crystal growth, detector devices and sensor systems, respectively.
Through these different branches within the centre, we can undertake the entire process of developing cameras, sensors and instrumentation - from semiconductor growth right through to engineering robust prototype products
Centre Aims
• Provide solutions for photon detection through product
development focused projects
• Translates fundamental research in sensors to prototypes and
instrumentation
• Strengthen and build new links with industry and external
organisations
• Enhance alignment of research at Sheffield with industrial needs
Strengths
• Underpinning research in detectors from X-ray to LWIR
• Unique expertise from design, wafer growth to device prototype
• Access to state-of-art III-V Semiconductor growth and
fabrication.
• Solid experience in developing robust scientific instruments
for industry
Opportunities
• Innovate UK (translation call)
• Instrumentation for STFC, European and UK Space Agencies. -
industry funded research
• MOD funded programmes such as CDE
