Tender Details

Modern scintillator grids are essential to radiation detection systems that require high spatial resolution and fast response. However, current grid fabrication methods rely on hazardous chemical etching and produce inconsistent structures that limit performance, scalability, and safety. This capability addresses the limitations of current fabrication methods by eliminating hazardous chemical etching, improving uniformity, and enabling complex geometries at scale.

Advantages

Enables high-resolution grid fabrication from high-Z metals (e.g., Re, Au, Re/Ni)

Avoids toxic and hazardous chemicals associated with traditional etching

Supports scalable production of precision-aligned, high-Z scintillator arrays with low material loss

Provides micron-level dimensional control and uniformity

Compatible with multiple scintillator materials and array configurations, enabling customization for medical, industrial, and defense applications

Adaptable to custom geometries for specialized imaging or detection applications

Technology Description

This technology enables the fabrication of dense, high-resolution scintillator grid arrays with micron-level precision, suitable for advanced radiation detection and imaging applications. The process works by electroplating high-Z metals, such as rhenium (Re), gold (Au), or their alloys, onto a substrate in the shape of the final grid geometry. These electro-formed components are then joined using hot isostatic pressing (HIP) at metal-specific temperatures and pressures to form solid bonded structures. Finally, the substrate is dissolved, leaving behind a free-standing, precision-aligned grid array. This approach eliminates chemical hazards, improves feature uniformity, and supports complex geometries, making it suitable for both small- and large-scale detector production.

Market Applications

This technology supports next-generation imaging and detection systems where high resolution, precision fabricati...
